As the MM of this forum, I don't tend to move to P&B unless it's obviously a bug or staff confirms it's a bug. Otherwise, you're just providing feedback on how the site works. Maybe it's intentional for it to work like this.
I posted in the news comments that we're looking into it! :) A few users suggested the shops start restock more, and I responded to one or two!
Grace is busy fixing shop things (if you notice, she recently did a siteupdate), so she hasn't had a chance to look at the cron for main shops yet. We aren't ignoring this, though!
[edit]
Oh, looks like there were some pushes for the shops (I've been busy adding items, didn't have a chance to check all the recent updates)! From the comments on it, it looks like Keith has main shops restocking more. So keep an eye out on them!
Just a heads up - a programmer just pushed a change to stop NPC shops from completely clearing as often as they were. It took a bit of digging to figure out exactly why it was happening (from what I understand, it was a really old line of code in a file unrelated to shops), but it should be fixed now! I'm going to keep an eye on shops throughout the day -- if you guys don't really notice a change over the next day or so feel free to ping me!
nope! because it was a bug that, as said, has been fixed. :)
