Wow. Scrolling down I see lots of complaining and arguing. Aw well. Thanks, Keith! This is pretty awesome.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Wow. I don't have a snowball's chance in hell in that shop. xD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think this is one of the best ideas ever! Keith, I hope you don't become discouraged and take this awesomness away from us. Some people are just going to whine and gripe no matter what you do. They, apparently, have learned nothing. Just know that you have the love and support of the majority of us.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I feel like things go way too fast, and it's too easy for someone to make a program to grab things. :/

I couldn't even get a common knit scarf. XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The hat is just too cute! I just wanna nom on those chubby cheeks.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I personally liked it better when the giveaways were in the donation center because I fail at restocking. Maybe when my computer quits lagging so much I'll manage to snag something. (I'm not trying to complain, just stating my opinion.)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I agree that its not right to keep complaining about it, the complaining ruined the DC for everyone. I do feel BAD for those that "cannot afford faster internet, but I feel even more Worse for those that CANNOT even get FASTER internet at their homes. I know here in MI there is alot of places that you cannot get anything except dial up and everyone knows how bad that can be, if your lines are old its even worse. I am not complaining I think its a great idea just it is really unfair to some but Restocking is unfair to those people already. So to those throwing things in the DC your awesome. I will be joining you soon enough. <br>

Keith and Staff you rock. Its the thoughts that count in my book. Nothing is ever going to be perfect and someone WILL always complain.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

There's no point in telling otehrs not to complain because it's not really complaining. It's just feedback unless other reply nastily to others posts. Please don't see mine as nasty because I'm not trying to be.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Free or not this is bad for those who can't restock to save their souls. I don't give a hootie what system you have or what speed your connection is running at. You can either restock with the best of them or not. I much preferred the old method at least then I knew that EVERYONE HAD THE SAME CHANCE if they were on or knew about it. Now it will just be that same people who are grabbing the items at BHH or Subeautique getting free crap all the time. Yippy!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This is very nice.. people DO NOT complain please, you dont like what there dont visit it okay..

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Well, thanks to the wonderful people over at the Donation Center I have managed to get a Wishlist item. If you can't keep up with the uber-restockers who are getting all the items from this event, I suggest going over there. You probably won't find Billboards, but there are a few DPs tucked in with the common items (I made sure of it).

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It is NOT free if it is asking me for SP!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ooops. Accidental blank comment. What I meant to say was:

'This is not enough for this quality item!'

...Er, shurely shome mishtake here?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It's cool, but all you people with fast internet are hard to beat. =/

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

While it took me 4 trys, I did finally manage to beat the rs'ers and got 1 item. However the second item I managed to get to the haggle screen asked me for 3k+ sp ... apparently theres still an issue in here somewhere....

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

At least, at the DC, people left the junk for the suckers. Now people are running after stuff like priests over little children

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Thank you so much Keith for my I Hate You T-Shirt Loves it!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh...and YES, I have a good Internet Connection...and YES I can restock... But I MISS some Items, too...because they are 'sold out' within one second. So what?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Thank you!!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I am very pleased with this, and i do agree that you must be experienced in the RSing department, which I am, so I love it! (: It's a great idea to terminate the conflict of the time zones. But, people will ALWAYS find something to complain about, even if it's something that is FREE and a great idea to end another problem. oh well, don't let it get to you, this is a genius way to kill two birds with one stone. (:

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I agree this system is worth a chance. While I am finding it harder to get items (and I'm a restocker), I still have been able to get a nice item or two, including one of the Feli hats. I could totally see where those without a fast internet connection might have trouble getting anything (or those not used to restocking). But again, it's worth a try- hopefully the feedback everyone gives will influence how givaways are done in the future. =)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I am sure some are going to say I am complaining as well, but I can already see that I am not going to benefit from this as well. I have tried, repeatedly to nab something (even the not great stuff) and everything but one item was gone before I even got to the code part. I am a huge fan of the giveaways and this is much harder and very frustrating. I am sure there are reasons it was changed and I'm not complaining, just stating my opinion. I guess I'll have to content myself with earning my items.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

For those of you complaining about other people complaining about not getting an item, i can almost garente that if i looked on your profile at the restocking trophie, It's gonna be a HUGE number, therefore, what I'm saying is that your a big time restocker with good internet connection. Your probably like "HAHA!" This subetian doesn't know a thing about restocking but then you type "stop complaining cause you can't get an item" I'm gonna do that now. Check the trophies on you lovers who hate complainers complaining about restocking. I barely know what i just said... o.0

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh well...maybe we should all give this new idea a chance? It's only around 1 hour old. scratches head Some things need a bit practice. Learning by doing. And now go and keep on trying to get something.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I am personally finding this giveaway format very frustrating. I am going to have to step away from it because it is just causing me to get angry. I came here to have fun, not get all twisted emotionally. So I will forgo trying to get the free stuff. I need my piece of mind more than some free items. I miss the old way, that was actually fun. But good luck to everyone else who does like this version. Hope you all get good stuff.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

As much as this sounds like a great idea in theory, I agree with other comments that it's very biased towards experienced restockers. I much prefered the DC, even if I did normally arrive late due to my timezone, as even then I could usually pick up an item or two even if they were only small things, and I was grateful for it. With this new system it's impossible to get anything--I'm slow and the captcha image is what's causing me most issues; waiting for it to load up. I was hoping I could get something as a treat for my sister seeing as she's in bed asleep at the moment but I guess I can just buy her something instead.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

i just want to say a big thank you to all those who have and still are donating to the DC...i'm not a natural born RS'er so really appreciate your kind deeds...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

hmm not sure but i got some Blue Striped Leg Warmers and it charged me little over 2k glitch im assuming????

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

(: It's running much better now.

Well, for me atleast. :B

Hope it's better for everyone else, too. (:

Thanks guys! :3

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Alright! I got the Feli Floppy Hat thing, and two other items. I see you gotta type in code thing. I guess that's not so bad.

Although, I noticed that the Mini Pies and the Blueberry Croissant wasn't free, they were around 2k. Uhhh.... bug?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I hate complaining, but I'm going to have to... I think this is a worse idea than using the DC to be honest. At least in the DC there are a larger amount of items released where everyone can sift through them. With this shop the RS'ers are at a huge advantage over a lot of people with slower internet connections or those of us who have other things going on around the site other than obsessively refreshing for a restock.

I get that you're trying to make things more fair, and I get that it's a kind gesture to even bring giveaways back... but if you're going to bring them back I'd just ultimately revert back to the DC. After all, the people giveaways generally help out the most are the people who DON'T have the sP to buy the items... and if they don't have the sP chances are they're not a restocker for whatever reason.

Just my two cents.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

All right. I tried the new system and I really think that the old one was better. This new system is a restocking competition, and it will not matter how hard some people try, there will be folks that try for a very long time and do not manage to get anything. Some people have vision impairment, others a slow connection or other computer issues, some just don't type fast. To make something a giveaway, competition should not be involved. I suggest either an hour wait before you can take another item, which I think is more than fair considering it is a free item, or going back to the old system where there were thousands of items all at once so people were guaranteed to get something. Even a giveaway of a few thousand items as opposed to five digits is more than enough to allow everyone a chance, and making smaller giveaways posted at quarter-day times and letting people know when the DC is restocked might help with other time zones feeling left out.

To those that feel the need to use comment boards to pick on other people's suggestions or complaints, I suggest you don't hit that Post button until you have re-read your post and check whether it is just plain mean or not. People critique things here in an attempt to clear up things that they don't think are working, and just because you personally do not have a problem with something does not make another person's problem with it invalid. Also try to keep in mind that the people that are complaining about the new system are probably not the same people that complained about the old one, but had no problem with it as it was or just the one aspect (time zone) that made it not work for them. Be fair, and try to be kind to one another.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

33 mins after the last restock and counting. Is this shop restocked automatically or by a staff member? If by a staff member then, what will be different about the timings from the DC giveaways? The staff are still only going to be online at certain times.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Millipede I think it's not RS'ing nbecause their working on the glitch (where they're asking for sP for the FREE items xD)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

31 mins ago. Does it seem that the other shops are not restocking the same quality and quantity that they were before the free shop opened, also?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Last Restocked: 32 minutes ago

D8 buh??

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Last Restocked: 26 minutes ago

Oh yeah... I hate this. I still don't see what was wrong with the DC. :

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm not a fan of this. Yes, it's free items, but the only people who I see benefitting from it are experienced restockers not the average-joe user.

This reminds me too much of the neopets donation tree to bother with it.

I hope this doesn't mean you're getting rid of the other free items (you know that are announced in the news... pete in a pie,seriousface...) I haven't been on the site long, but I really genuinely appreciated receiving the free items.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

What could be an idea is that you keep the shop, but you just make is similar to the donation center, you would have a 5-min wait time, and instead of having to type the price, you just need to click on the item or something like that, and make it restock more frequently/consistently(what I've been observing is that it restocks every five minutes and then at other times every 18 minutes)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Like others, I will be off giving items to the DC. For those of you that are as RS-slow as I am, you're welcome to snatch an item or two from there. I'm sure there are plenty of great things being given away. ^-^

Look I am not saying that everybody is complaining I understand that their are a lot of people that appriciate alll the hard work that Keith and the other staffers do. However the peopl who are winning in my eyes don't, are a being selfish by complaining that they don't get the free stuff. Some of these people just don't get how hard it is please everybody, and don't kno whow much it hurts when you can't... All I want is for EVERYBODY to respect the hard work that goes into this site and to think before they complain about something.

I'm thankful when the site is working properly and I show it by using the Cash Shop monthly. I see nothing wrong with wanting to get the free stuff for free and still have a Working site. It's taking me 5 minutes to load a page because of the stress this shop is causing on the site. It's a bad idea in multiple ways. According to Keith, this shop was made to fix the "unfairness" that so many were complaining about yet in reality, made it more unfair than before.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I am also donating some things to the DC....and there are some great things in there thanks to some wonderful fellow Subetans. Come on by and see.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Personally, I don't understand why it would be so hard to release items in the DC over a longer period of time (say a 24 hour period), at a slower rate, so most people can benefit from it - this just favors people with fast connections, and doesn't give anyone a 5-minute wait time before they can grab more.

And people - it's not COMPLAINING. It's called criticism. In the past, this has been something Subeta thrived on. I would like to think the powers that be still want honest opinions on this. I could be wrong, but if I were a programmer/site owner/whatever, I would want feedback.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Wouldn't it have made more sense to stick with the old system but release items at different points throughout the day?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

gives up Alright, this blows. I'm off to the DC Giveaway. I'll donate some stuff I got from previous Subeta giveaways... see you there.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Sorry for complaining...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

great !! thank you very much!! i will give it a try

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Stop moaning jeez if you cant be bothered waiting to get items .. then just dont some people are actually grateful for the free stuff you know.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I like the idea, but not the execution. I liked being able to refresh through the items having to hunt for good ones. But I do like that this one restocks more often. The idea is there, but I think some things need to be tweaked a bit. I understand what people think about the RSers having a "better" advantage. I guess I'm just partial to the old way of doing things, never managed to get things there either.
