So, I've been talking with a few other CW creators and while the cash shop is great for filling up smaller batches that you can't fill that 10 slots on I'd still personally like to see the option for sellers to run smaller batches themselves of say 5 slots, particularly on first batches. I always feel guilty when I've had an unpopular item sitting in my shop for a while with a couple of people prodding me and wondering when it will fill because they "so need this item" and I've had to retire it after 3 months because it just hasn't got past 5 people in a batch.

Don't get me wrong, even though the cash shop isn't particularly working for me, I think it's a great idea for tail end batches, but I'd love to see something in place to allow less popular, but equally good quality first batch items onsite.

Eh, I don't often make suggestions, so apologies if this is in the wrong place

Quote By Keith:
Right now we don't have plans to change the initial batch. The queue is already overflowing most days (which is not a bad thing!) and we only have so much ability to keep it moving day to day, and lowering the amount to 5 would probably double our workload.

Hopefully someday, though!

The quote is from last month. As nice as it would be, I don't think something like this is quite feasible.

@Klassikal

Ahh dear. I thought that topic was just in relation to smaller batches AFTER the first batch. Oh well

Honetly, if we could send up to 10 items for the same 5000 CSC, I wouldn't mind.

Yes, ten items, the maximum would be the best investment, but you could send less. However, it would be more expensive to make smaller batches. Like, if you had 5 items in the batch, it would amount to 1000 CSC per item instead of 500 CSC, so that feature would only get used as a last resort. Would really make people think twice before using it.

I agree with User not found (1): tche. I actually would have done that for my

. So I wouldn't have to delete them, which totally feels like deleting CSC cards
