Do you like it when the Admins do a random restock?

the timed ones. sure of course this will cause lag and everyone will gonna know about it and you may not even have a chance to get even 1 sh1t but the random can be unfair sometimes like what justin said. tbh i think all restocks should be timed so we can all have a chance.

I kinda agree I like timed restocks more but it is almost picking if you want lag or no lag.

Well, I have experienced a random restock, with the ど in stock, but only one. I didn't buy it because I wanted の. So someone else got it.

And last week was horror, so i'll say random.

Oh. Is that not what you're talking about? Well, I got nothing then.

I wasn't here during the mother's day event, so can someone explain how the random restock worked?

I like random restocks in a way, we know the dates but not the time and they are restocked a multitude of times, like during mothers day, that was a fun set of restocks, we didn't know when but through the weekend they were restocked at random.
I am also not just saying that because I got something that one and not this one. Or maybe with the timer randomly showing up like during halloween so its just a random alert on it

either way the system sucks donkey dick bc it either lags out too badly, ppl buy 500 of everything and nobody else gets anything, or nobody know it happens and then miss out same.

it's a lost cause imo bc no matter what happens people will be upset and it's just a pain in the ass.
i was gonna pray for hammers but it literally lagged so bad i couldn't even dream of landing a restock and actually getting something.

it was similar to the Spring Shamrocks sold on St. Patrick's Day-- a group of them (50-100 iirc) was initially released to shop in conjunction with or shortly after the admins' thread announcement about the one-day-only limited edition collectible. then there were periodic random restocks thorughout the day/night. Sometimes Justin would pop up in the thread commenting that more had just added, sometimes there was no comment. A total of 400 were stocked and sold in the shop on Mother's Day...

I like knowing when collectibles are being restocked, as I am sure most people do, because I don't want to wait hours and keep on refreshing. I just wish there was a way to make the restocks more like events where the collectibles are all available, but you need to earn the currency to purchase them so it makes it like harder

the events always feel like an accomplishment when you work to get the collectibles, not just luck with the internet speed

I voted in favor of the random restocks, because i've generally fared better in those, but i see the pros and cons of each.

I think what would be really cool is if there was some sort of post-restock raffle ticket system for the disappointed buyers after major shop re-stocks. For this restock as an example, perhaps 1 yellow letter collectible could be made available via raffle ticket, one ticket per customer, limited to those who didn't own one and who had never successfully bought one from shop. Maybe two dark blues and two teals etc. could be made available this way for raffle. And you could only enter one of the raffles...

Thanks for the explanation King Dad! (Wasn't here for the Shamrock event as well lols)

I prefer timed restock but with only a day's notice or few hour's notice. I definitely don't like random restocks, I just don't have the time or even want to refresh the shop every few minutes like I used to in the past. There's also that problem where one person can end up buying all the stock if it was random.

iirc the Shamrocks were restocked for about 48 hours, maybe half a day more, as the initial thread and shop stock didnt take place until about 9 pm EST on the 17th. and i had thought there were 500 total stocked (shop price was 317 tbt) but it may have only been 400. it was generally random restocks over that period, altho i think there were some admin heads-up posts in that thread as well...
