[quote=Kombinator;1221517]Perhaps auks and buzz shops were empty when you visited because the stuff they have was bought already, and they did not have time to restock...

Hmm, you might be right about that, and i might be completely wrong ofc... but to me, the shopping malls have never been this empty before... perhaps some shop owners on EF could give us their opinion??

empty stuff in EU??? ... Never heard of it

seriously, been going like this for quite a while - not sure what you've observed indicates any sort of crash ... if you look around for other posts, this has been brought up over and over and over

i visit almost all shops in the EU shopping malls (and other locations) weekly, if only to get a clear view on market prices and availability of items...
To me it's just too obvious that something is wrong (i hope so lol, otherwise i'm making a big fool of myself

...

PS: I might be living in my own world, but that's ok, they know me here

God I hope its crashing. Call me when I can get an imp fap for 2k again.

Probably not crashing cause I spent a shite load of peds in the last few months, those have to be going somewhere...

Agreed. Going shopping is way too time consuming. Lots of lag (for me) in the malls and prices vary too much from one shop to the next.

With the auction, I can quickly compare both items and prices.

Unless I'm buying a Limited weapon from Photon or armor from Buzz I'm using the auction.

And that's my guess as to why shops aren't working.

Buying adj, imp, mod faps TT+0.

Ditto! That and I believe three malls was just too much for our economy to support in the first place. I was wondering as soon as they announced them and that ais bout what I would expect. The auction can be too damn convenient. I hate to think ti it`s detriment MA will do something about it though. But I do think the economy is in flux in the past year overall but somewhat steady at the moment. I think those that were unhappy with recent vu`s and decided to leave have for the most part. Some are playing less taking a wait and see on thier invesment so to speak. And there is not a big influx of players like the CND wave provided. Unfortunately I don`t think it will really have time to settle before the opening of space shakes it all up again.
