Is there any way to reduce this cooldown? It seems ridiculous to only be able to purchase once per 12 hours, especially when all the items will be gone after the restriction expires.

Hi, yes that is annoying, but since the tokenshop doesn't restock that often, the cooldown gives more users the chance to get an item at all. I think otherwise everything would be sold out within a few minutes and so you can still hope for an item a day after the restock.

The items restock later on and everyone is on the same 12hrs boat. There's also a forum group that pings its members whenever someone catches a restock. Except for potions or new books, it's not hard to grab something from the TS exactly thanks to the cooldown. Too many times I've forgotten to check it after 12 hours and was still able to grab the item I wanted.

This is the third post where I've seen you complaining about stuff regarding Subeta.

The token shop timer is in place to allow others to catch up and for it to restock. Back in the day, items would sell out almost immediately and it was super frustrating.

There's no cooldown reduction, it just helps everyone jump in. Even with the cooldown, the major items like Potions sell out super-fast. If you really wanna get in on the items like for the achievement, you can set a timer on your phone to go off as soon as your 12-hour cooldown is done.

This is what I do when I see stuff in the TS restock that I want. Set a timer and hoard my wizard tokens.

The cooldown prevents bad actors from buying up entire restocks (either manually or through using bots) and immediately scalping them for inflated prices. It's a protective measure, not punitive.

You're not restricted, you're just not the only one in the TS. Calm down.
