Good morning, Kovaze! We're excited to share an upcoming rework to the format of the shops game. Our bottom line is that competition should drive prices 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻, not up. Players should not have to grind for days just to obtain a single design. Likewise, Shop Owners shouldn't feel like they have to keep hiking up prices just to succeed in the Shops Game. We're hoping this change will make the Shops sector feel more rewarding for both shop owners, and their devoted customers! Shops moving on: ̶3̶ → 0 Bids open per round: ̶5̶ → 6 Total round stocks: ̶1̶8̶ → 25 Minimum stocks per design: ̶3̶ → 5 We're removing the concept of the top 3 shops moving on due to the undesirable gameplay it promotes. It forces shop owners to post high, by punishing them for posting lower than their opponents. This style of gameplay is very unforgiving to new users who are less experienced with shops. We're hoping with this new change, owning a shop will feel more of an enjoyable experience, than a stressful one. We still want the Shops Game to remain rewarding for Shop Owners, so we will be increasing the total number of stocks per shop to 25 to allow Shop Owners to sell more, and gain profit. We're rolling this change out next round (meaning the top 3 shop owners from the current round will still be able to move on). We want to observe how these changes impact the economy and the shops game for a few weeks, so expect some numbers to be tweaked around in the near future. We're excited to hear your opinions regarding these changes! - The Kovaze Team
