I'm just wondering, has the restock rate been lowered? People are noticing that before it restocked 3-5 of an item, but now it's down to 2 per item.

Nope. Just must not be seeing it the second it restocks before people grab stuff up.

But the old stuff that's in there, usually has 3-5 of the item restocked. I can't really believe that people are grabbing the old stuff that's been in the Subq for months and months, when there are newer, and more popular items in there.

I've noticed this too... but I kinda like it. Maybe items will actually retain value now xD

Guess I spoke too soon. Saw it happen on the last restock. Has to be really recent change though.

Yeah, I'm just waiting on a staff member to address it, and confirm it.

I've been buying just about anything, no matter how old.

FWIW I've been doing a lot of battling catch up as a New Year resolution, and also there's a new challenger, so I've been scoring a ton of Invites as my whole army of pets fights. The frequency of Invites went up in January to make up for the lack of them in December, so they're worth bupkis right now. It's more risky to just buy a SBQ item to sell than it is to sell the Invite direct, but the return is better right now.

I'm pretty convinced they lowered the restock amounts for sure, which isn't that bad of an idea IMO. Items that were restocking 3-5 at a time flooded the market and definitely did not retain their values. The only minor issue I have is the difficulty of obtaining some items, I frequently see the same lot of people getting multiples of items from various restocks (but good on them for keeping up with them).

Can you confirm this for us?

Yeah this is a good change. :) I remember bringing it up about half a year ago, hah, the stuff really wasn't holding its value and - even by checking the shop sporadically - I've been able to complete recent sets within a couple of months of release.

Yeah I changed this a few days ago and wanted to watch it. Since the change we're still seeing just about as many purchases (Users have purchased 867 items for a total of 152,550,603 sP!) so my hope is that it'll help the next few new sets keep value a lot better than older sets have.

Did you also remove the text that says the shop is empty? I can't remember the exact text it used to say, but now it says nothing at all and I can't be sure if the shop is empty or my page isn't loading properly.

Yeah its not saying that the shop is empty... there is just nothing at all there. I can't tell if its my computer messing up... or if the shop has just been empty for a little while.

I'm getting the same problem as KaseyKrimson , I haven't seen anything in SBQ in three days, which is really unusual since I'm in there once or twice an hour. It doesn't say the shop is empty, just comes up with a thick grey bar with no images. If anyone has a solution, please let me know! :)

Its still happening to me. The shop is restocking, but since they are putting less items in, it comes up empty more often (I think). Can't tell for sure, of curse, since there's no text telling us its empty.

Since writing that I have seen restocks, and bought items. So I guess the shop is just empty, it just isnt saying it specifically.
