Aha! That's why no one can ever catch up to him! He can buy 12 stacks of ammo, while everyone else can only buy less than that!

I was going to ask you how you managed that Ranger.
Must be a top 1 exemption.

Didn't Jon say that this spawn and buy would be "unnecessary" after the change. If anything, it has just become worse now that it's "legalized". I think ex shots need a higher spawn rate.

And good job on the 12 purchases at once Ranger. I'm impressed. I think we need to change the old saying:
"This gives Ranger an unfair advantage." :D

While we're talking about store purchases, how many are you actually *supposed to* be able to make at once? I was under the impression that it was 10, but when I try to buy 14 stacks of ammo, for example, it puts 5 of them back, and shows me a page saying people bought them before me or I exceeded my limit of 8. Most people get 10, I get 9, it's supposed to be 8, and Ranger gets 12?

I bought, merged, and rebought all in the same minute.

Not that hard to do.

I've seen similar results too. I can buy 9 or 10 within a twenty minute period - say 1040 -1100 am, then at 1 minute past the 1100 I can buy some more. It looks like the twenty minute buying period isn't from when you buy the first one, but within a similar time frame to BA refresh.

But how does that explain my example above?

Maybe your purchased bridged the timer threshold, kind of like when you fight someone twice quickly instead of 30 seconds apart.

> It looks like the twenty minute buying period isn't from when you buy the first one, but within a similar time frame to BA refresh.

yes, it's way simpler to code that way.

As XTC might have once said, "please be upstanding for the mayor of simple code."

You are only allowed to purchase 8, according to the page that tells you you've bought too many, but it let's you get 9...
