    Okay so for the last few weeks its been getting worse and worse. I can leave my Aber running for the whole period and come back to like 5 buys.. WTF?! I used to get a crapton, and I've not changed a thing.

    I've also noticed a decrease in the number of people on AU chat.


    Whats going on?!

    I struggle to make 100k profit a day in this conditions...

    Yeah I agree, it seems that you really have to only AB during the "dense" restocking periods. Like the "after school" periods of time. Since you and I generally AB at night(I think) We've been missing quite the amount of stuff.

    I dunno aye.. I've been getting good stuff when I can log into my Neo accounts with my AU (sometimes for some reason it doesn't work) but tbh I often get less than 5 buys before I'm banned, just often of the 2-3 i do get one of them is 1-10 mill profit :D. But yeah I use my GM abers alot me now so you wouldn't see me on AU

    I mean RS banned lol, if it was iced that would make it pretty pointless lol. The only times I have been banned have been cause I have done something very very stupid :p, this time round I'll probably build up to about 100 mill sell it and save the cash i get rinse and repeat until I have enough cash for a dreamie account :funky: .

    Yeah, I was worried because I started going to magic because you made it look pretty safe.

    But anyways back to topic, yeah I believe recently though in certain shops there has been an increase in restocks of some items, such as rare morphing potions and stamps coming up more often.

    Maybe the slowing down of the economy has made all the people who restock expensive items move down to say less expensive item shops, such as Chocolate, Food, and the Bakery and such, and that might be the reason you have seen little restocks or buys, because you tend to restock those items.

    Though quite the wild theory =[.

    There was that theory about "the more users/the more RS".
    Seeing that TnT is on the down slope, it might be possible.

    There seem to be fewer attic RE.
    I'm there almost everyday and someday, I need almost 10 hours to complete 5 buys.

    ^ Actually yes. When I restock legitly, I usually do it around 2-4 am NST. You've to wait forever for a restock and it gets boring fast. I've tried restocking during the day and there are really a lot more restocks. So if Neo is losing its players, restocks are probably getting fewer =/

    I actually feel the same way Junior, not only has there been fewer items, but also my buy times seem to get slower whenever there is something good that comes up, which causes me to miss alot of good items, that could just be my connection though I guess.

    Agreed. It has been restocking way less... It restocks alot more on the weekends, but compared to how it used to, not much. Probably has something to do with the fact that TNT most likely has it on few restocks because most the USA players ( like 60%+ of all loyal/active players) are in school. I'm hoping next summer it will stock alot more. and on holidays as well.

    It definitely does stock less.. but I still managed to make between 100-150 mil the past 3-4 weeks. xP

    Well, activity levels should be higher today, since it's half-price day (right?).

    Probably. I do always find it harder to RS on half-price day because everyone seems to be restocking. But only usually in shops where items are a bit pricier like magic. Maybe it's just me but if I'm restocking in stamp or something, I don't find it that much more difficult because stamp restock prices are never that high anyway.

    I'm not 100% sure ofc but I'm guessing multiple accounts Abing and AAAing. Shouldn't be that difficult if you have good net. On a good day (when I can get onto AU and some nice restocks hit) I can get 10 mill+ so keep at it and get some aged accounts if you have good AAA buy times

    A good week for me in the Attic with only 1 account = 20 mils profit.
    Do the math !
