Subeautique Change!
In order to change with fashion trends, Esmerelda at the Subeautique has changed the way that you purchase her wares!
Now you can find a Subeautique Invitation while wandering around the site, which when redeemed, gives you access to the current items that Esmerelda is selling (which change frequently!). You can also sell the invitation instead of redeeming it!
Each invitation will get you one item in the boutique, so make sure you get something you want!
She still charges an arm and a leg for her clothes though, so don't expect any discounts!

Fix this now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't like this at all. It's pretty much why I took a break, looks like I need to just quit. I used to love restocking there and it was how I made my money. I don't feel bad for people that can't restock, they have other methods of money making just like we do. We can't all be good at everything. It wasn't about just making money. I literally found it fun, it was a sport to me. You guys butchered it :/ thanks.
I think it is ridiculous. Now we have to pay a lot to even get in the shop and then spend a lot in the shop?
My concern is that this may mean that Subeautique items will become even more super-expensive than they already are, and that things that aren't highly desired (i.e. not wigs) aren't going to end up on the site to buy in user shops.
I never RSed Subeautique, but I could still buy most of the items I really wanted from user shops. I'm concerned now that I still won't be able to buy from Subeautique (because of the rarity of invitations) but that now I won't be able to buy the items from user shops (because they'll be far too expensive or not there at all).

I love this because it adds a unique, new dimension to the site. We already have lots of shops in which to restock. This is a more fitting way to sell the items too! Love it!
I didn't like to restock at subeautique because I suck as restocking and everyone is quicker than me but I still don't like it now because I have rotten luck and probably will never get invites
Oh well, I didn't have SubQ itens before and I won't have then now anyway lol

:) I like this a lot. Thanks for making it easier to pick and choose what I want to buy. No more grabbing the first thing I see only to find out its crap.
I've already found 5 invites so far. I used one and sold the others since I really need the sP more right now.

This is a terrible idea.
Rsing from the SubQ was my only source of sP making apart from buying credits, which I can't afford at all right now.

Now the tickets are going to cost an arm and a leg and all the prices of SubQ stuff will reflect that, even the cheap things. :( And getting one yourself? Might as well just sell it to get the SP instead of trying to get an item.
Learn to restock and stop complaining about how hard things are to rs. People who know the tricks to restocking (which aren't hard to figure out) get the good items. Any game you put more time into gives you more reward. Practice makes you better.
No more donations from me.

Well, after feeling a little peevish all day about how I never could catch anything and now might even less likely snag something, I got an invite when I clicked over on this thread to see how "rare" the invites might be. Guess it is my lucky day!
I like this idea! I have tried diligently to restock in the boutique in the 4 yrs. I've been here and only managed to get a handful or two of items out of there. This way everyone who finds a ticket gets a chance to buy something at shop price instead of user prices! If it is random events that give you the ticket it will be a slow enough process to keep resell prices profitable. Hope everyone at least gives it a chance to see how it goes :)
I never restock the SQ, so I really don't care that much about the change.
I already found an invite, so it's a nice way to get an easy cheap item every once in awhile.

I really like this new system. I've been able to grab items that I've been wanting for awhile now!
... This makes RSing harder than it already is. I can't even get my hands on an invitation; honestly I think it's better to just have ping groups to let us know when it RSes. I really don't like this update.
I never had much luck RS'ng from the SubQ, this now makes it virtually impossible for me. -_-
this seems like another one of those fix-something-that-isn't-broken moments that subeta staff is so fond of but it's an interesting concept; we'll see how it goes.
This seems interesting... but it is a longggg time in between me getting ANY random events... Oh well. I do like this change though :) Very nice!
I'm also kinda annoyed because the way I ever got most of my REs was because I was restocking in SubQ. None of the other places in the site hold enough interest for me to sit for as long have as many pageviews. Where is it you are trying to steer us to, exactly, because this just makes me want to go do something off site instead, not peak my interest in on site things I didn't previously enjoy (like questing).
I'm a restocker, but I seem to be in the minority of thinking that this is a great idea. Tique restocking was getting absolutely ridiculous. The same 10 people were getting all the items and charging an arm and a leg for everything. I'm super excited about this because it gives me a chance to actually complete some collections, which I haven't been able to do since the change in rarities/restock times in the tique. Hoo-ray!
I haven't found any coins, so I'm not particularly confident about how many invites I'll find.
Is it taking a long time for the shop to open? I've had Oh No! This shop is closed :( all day
Considering that I barely get random events at all, I kind of doubt that I will be getting an invite any time soon. I'll wait and see how this turns out. :/
Keith - Er, then what was this comment you made earlier: "This way it's a sP sink, and less sP moving around (to the middle men)." ?
Either it is intended to be an sP sink, or it isn't - you might want to decide which it's intended to be and stick with that. And, honestly? If you're just looking to make Subeautique items "different," from the rest, that's great. But if you're looking to make an sP sink, this really doesn't seem to be the most efficient way of going about it.

A well dressed fashionista walks by and hands you a Subeautique Invitation. I guess she didn't need it!
Nice :)
Nice :)
I've gotten two invites from REs so far guys, just vend, battle or quest and one will pop up in no time.
"Same rarity as the coins" yikes. I've not seen more than one of those a year, ever. Sad....

Saren - We aren't looking for a sP sink. This will be about as effective as it was before in that respect, we are aiming to give SBQ items a different value on the user side, and also just make them a unique concept vs the rest of the items on the site that just restock.
I REALLY REALLY hope this is not going to be like the bbh. I do think it would make stuff more rare if it was like the old ts, but please no bbh. I have and am pretty sure will never get anything from there..that stuff is like getting a riptide in OD:P maybe even less>.>
"I have to wonder how this will help our other problem (inflation). Now a big sP sink is dependent on random items to initiate? I'm not sure that's going to help anything..."
This :/ I really don't see how a rare random event can be anything resembling an effective "sink." A GOOD sink would remove more than a measly couple of million sP a day/every other day, depending on how many people find invitations per day.
Restocking the Subeautique more then twice a day, and leaving it open to EVERYONE, would have been a better route if you were wanting an sP sink, TBH.
