Before when there was a holiday shop i had to wade tru 20-30 wrapping papers to rs holiday specific items. Now with them spread tru so many different shops i have to wait ages for a holiday item to show up , literally look for a plushie in the plushie stack of 100-250 items and compete for one item with god know how many other users. Even FTC wasnt this evil!
It's not like there was anything new in the first place. I think I'm more upset at every single restockable just being old unretired items rather than new stuff
I miss it too. I used to use the mystery box for everything, it was simple and easy, now it's a pain. I know we can vend for them, but really with only 250 vends a day(for non gold account users) it's slow going and I'd rather be chucking sP at a box rather than my tokens. At least with the holiday shop/mystery box combo I wasn't 90% of the time getting, what I consider to be, mostly disappointment.

I wasn't particularly good at restocking from the holiday shop, but I really really miss the Mystery Box having holiday items. It was a great SP sink, too, I wish they could do something about that.
I hate trying to hunt for items in a dozen different shops wading through all the normal restockables.
When the holiday shop was initially done away with, I was actually excited. Mass restocking is stressful and obnoxious enough, but now that the items are dispersed throughout ten different shops, that obnoxiousness is multiplied by ten. Yay. At least with the holiday shop everything was in one place.
But really, I would just rather see these old items go out in a different way - as quest prizes, as special vendables, as game prizes...
I'm with at every point in the sentiment.

I miss it too. I hate how the items now are scattered all over the place. I haven't seen a single holiday item restock. I liked how it was before, with all the items in one shop...
I sort of miss it too, even if I had a lesser chance of RSing an item I need. Having them in once place to found was a lot easier than having to search all over the place.
I miss the mysery box giving out the items possibly more.
I miss the holiday shop and the mystery box giving items from it. I was almost always able to get everything new I wanted and even some old stuff too, now it just seems like things are harder or more expensive to get. Ah well...

I miss it too :/ Its the only place I really restocked before. Now its so difficult with the items being spread out everywhere and mixed in with normal items.
When I came back to Subeta after my hiatus, I was disappointed to find the shop gone. It was really the only place I had fun restocking at, especially when new items for holidays were released.
I never had experience with the Holiday Shop, since this is my first year on site, but I can say, as a newer user who needs these old items for collections, having them spread all over the shops and mixed with regular restockables is awful. :(
Also, if the point of this was to make rarer items more reachable, I don't think it's working. I've been following a few SRs on my WL since they unretired and there don't seem to be many new ones on the market at all.
I miss the holiday shop too. It was the only place I really liked to restock, to try and collect all the new items. I haven't bothered since they changed it, it's too difficult now. :P
I miss the holiday shop SO MUCH. I looked forward to restocking every event, sigh :( I haven't even tried to restock this year, the shops are way too full and it's too difficult to see the event items. Oh well :(

I would like to see a Morostide Shop that works like L'Amour Parlor, Ester's Shop, etc. where you have to turn loads of something in to get points that allow you to buy different stuff. I like that system better than the old Holiday Shop.
So many other holidays use this method and I love those holidays for it!
Then again, if this can't happen, I just think the Holiday Shop/Mystery Box combo was the next best option, I mean it was an sP sink and all >.>

Exactly what I wanted to say too!
This a million times over
