I have only seen the token shop restock onces while I have lived here in Europe (2 years now) It seems to me that it restocks on U.S Time and that is soooo unfair to us Europeans. Honestly it should restock at least 3 times in that day (Asian, American and European time zones) so that way we dont have to pay an over priced amount on tokens (hoping that there will be a restock) Or pay the crazy amount on buying it in user shops. sigh, Rant over thanks for listening go about your day now :)
it does restock several times throughout the day. it just isnt announced in the news every time it stocks again. you just have to keep checking back. some people even make posts on the forum when it restocks again. im surprised you havent figured that out in the 2 years of you being here O__O
I'm in the UK and I catch a huge amount of restocks. very often stocks a new item in the token shop at 7am Subeta time and there is no way you can legitimately call that unfair to Europeans.
The site is based in America and the token shop is stocked by American staff members. Of couse many [not all thank you very much] of the stocks happen at times beneficial to Americans.
:( well isnt this the rant board. I was just venting.. takes my ball and goes home sorry if I have a bit of a life outside of sub and I dont make it to the board 24/7 to check
Here's what I did - instead of bookmarking subeta's main page or the news page, I bookmarked the Token Shop, so if it restocks, I'll definitely see it. Maybe you should try that? :)
I missed a lot of restocks but I also caught quite a few, and I'm from central Europe.
The forums have a "send reply" button for a reason. Not everyone is going to hand you a lollypop. There's always the option of using the journal here if you don't want to interact.
And yeah. Missing restocks is frustrating. At least you have your life outside of Subeta to distract you from the pain. :)

Sorry that the token shop does not tailor to the specific times you are on. Sorry that other who WANT it, spend their time and get it.
Sorry, this is stupid. Subeta is a US site, so what? I've snagged quite a few TS items and I'm from Europe too. And if it would restock three or more times a day the items wouldn't be worth anything anymore. This is something special. If I were you I would be happy that we even HAVE a TS -.-
Yeah, I missed the last 3 restocks too, two of them items I really want. But who cares? I could have been online but I was not so it's my bad luck and not the fault of anyone else...
I'm Australian and I have caught a fair few restocks. Just today I got a Glade Potion Pitcher thingy.
I live in EST, which is what Subeta time is based off of, and I end up missing most of the restocks, because of some of the weird hours. If you really want an item, you either have to keep watching for an RS, or save up the SP. Its just the way the game goes. Its really easy to make sp anyway, so just save up. Most of the time (other then potions) its only about 2-4m in user shops, which isn't too bad really.
I've missed the last 15 items, restocks and all. It's just a bad luck streak though, because there was a time when I managed to catch ALL of the new items that had stocked there. I'm in the UK too and it's nothing to do with timezeones. I think, like me, you're just having a bad luck streak. One day you will be surprised at just how lucky you can get with the Token Shop. Honestly, it happened to me! And I'm also a European :)
I get your frustration, but it really depends.
Amber generally releases them on times accessible to us Europeans. Keith hardly ever does. It's still tipped towards the US scale, but what do you expect? Staff lives there (bias much), there's more users, yadda yadda yadda. Most of us who catch a ton of restocks are on Subeta 24/7 so that's why we get them.
The past several restocks were kind of lame though. Past 5 or so happened at night or very early in the morning Euro times.
I am from Europe, too I am not online all the time and I am able to snag most items from the Token Shop nonetheless so to be honest I can't agree with you. They always restock more than once to give at least most people a chance so in my opinion they definitely improved the way the Token Shop restocks.
Ah yeah, that's true. No wonder I've not been getting them, I'm no early-bird :P
I've gotten quite a few and I live in Australia.
But do what I do.
Suck it up and wait for the next one.
I also noticed the last few were all night time Euro-zone, and I also didn't see any restocks whatsoever. But I'm sort of over it. I can complain all the time, or just shrug it off, and be happy on the rare occassion where I do catch one. (I choose the second, by the way. :P)
And out of pure curiosity, why do you say three times, for Asia, America and Europe? How about Australia and all the people down there?
