I still haven't seen a 6* or any decent card. All I'm waiting on is energy potions so I can spend all my gp on in case I want to come back, but I haven't had energy potions in my shop in a month.

Would be nice to be able to pause the shop so you don't miss out. Either that or lower the refresh time to 1 or two hours so materials can be purchased more frequently.

Why can't the shop operate like the "special bonus" reward (it waits for you to click refresh before showing new items)? People that are on every 3 hours round the clock can still get their refresh fix, but people who actually sleep wont miss out on specific items like during an auto refresh with that option.

Couldn't have said it better DrRick... the main point is that the probabilities don't mean much if you're missing out on them.

And now think about situation:
1) Now - you go to sleep, shop refresh two times and on second refresh it bring 6* - you wake up and get it.
2) You go to sleep, doesn't refresh shop - don't get this 6*, because when you refresh it at morning random generator will create different cards list.

Don't try to catch all missed opportunities. Better to seek new.

if it's a random generator, then im not missing anything when I wake up... if in a similar scenario as you posted: that 6* card comes up while im asleep, I get nothing, and my probability of getting a second 6* card when im awake is diminished. if youd like to refresh every 3 hours then you are not missing out on anything either. my scenario = win/win

How about an ON/OFF switch in the settings to enable or disable "AUTO REFRESH" of Guild Shop? Some games have that option to control Music, Sound, messages...
Everybody wins. Those who want to sleep peacefully and those who want auto refresh to Guild Shop.

Devs can tell if this is possible or not.

You're getting the most out of your probabilities by having an on/off, or reward-like option to refresh the guild shop. Its best not to miss refreshes as it helps build your probability. A constantly running shop diminishes your chances of getting the card you're looking for; or in the situation you mention, you miss two refreshes which lowers your odds by another 25%.
