No stock for auto-refreshing?

[delphic]

Here's what happened. Three times within the past week, I got Sneezles. That's 3 times $5k+ spent in a week. I got tired fast of giving in to the drug pushers who prey on people's devotion to their pets by jacking up their prices to almost 800% (but that's another subject), so I decide to get some of the medication from the source. I go to the pharmacy and set my browser to auto-refresh. After a while, the shopkeeper just keeps returning the "out of stock" message, but, at the same time, other people I know can see plenty of stock of stock in the shop. Anyone else ever notice that?

Perhaps you got restock banned?

1. Auto-refreshers are banned on Neopets.com and can get you frozen if you are caught with one.

2. You're restock banned. Refreshing too many times in a set time limit will end up in you being banned from all Neopets shops. The limit used to be 3 times in 5 seconds, but that was over a year ago so has probably changed (or the info was just wrong XP). In a week or so, you'll be able to purchase from main shops

I can refresh more quickly by pressing the F5 key manually. I don't really see how letting the browser do it is an advantage. And, for the record, I do not refresh three times in 5 seconds, though I can do so easily by pressing F5 in rapid succession.

This is why you go to the healing faerie. She helps quite quickly, even if it means your pet will be a little sick for a while longer than if you got the medicine, until she can help.

Most shops are hard to find having any items for sale. Try between 2am and 6 am NST.... but then if you are waiting that long, visit the healing springs. Medications are definately not required in Neopia.

You aren't allowed to have auto refreshers, period. Which means there will be no discussion of them here. Topic closed.
