Store Purchases Limit Suggestion (in General)

I'm not sure if this has been addressed yet, I didn't bother to search through forums for old threads and I've been here less than a week now, so it's very likely i'm not the first to bring this up, but anyway, here goes...

The store purchase limit should NOT apply to ammo. I recently had to buy some arrows for my little newb character and also happened to notice a halberd that would've been a nice upgrade for the chinsy glaive i'm using now while i was in there...

Well, i clicked up a bunch of ammo and the halberd and now i guess i will have to wait 30 minutes before i can buy the halberd because my 8 item limit was entirely used up on the little 300-1000 chunks of arrows i had to buy.

I tend to agree with you. When I recently was powering up one of my farm I also reached that limit a few times. Since it's a 4T team who all use ranged.

What's to stop somebody buying up all the ammo in store if you changed this? And as the store refresh is linked to the number of battles fought now (unlike CB1), not the amount of items bought it could possibly be some time before ammo was refreshed, leaving anybody trying to buy it left wanting...

-Last I checked, the ammo limit will stop you from doing that.

Yeah the ammo limit would stop you buying all the arrows but you can still buy a fair few at once. Isn't the limit 14999 across all your characters? But I don't think there's any need to buy all that amount in one go, especially on a farm. Even fighting hard my archers never needed more than 10000 in one day.

i bought a grand total of 8000 arrows for my main character, not for a farm and then i couldn't buy anything else for 30 minutes... as for specific rules about refreshes, ammo was always handled differently than other refreshes in cb1 and i would guess (although i haven't been paying all that much attention to it yet in cb2) that it is also handled differently than the rest of the items here as well... but ultimately, yes the ammo limit is what keeps you from buying up all of the ammo as you suggested, store purchase limit doesn't nor is it needed to prevent that

That's as far as I got before I stopped reading.
