What this solves is the lack of affection items while leaving the monetary cost the same assuming you don't use pachinko. You also get free items of various rarity tiers from arena fights and the daily mission, which decreases the cost slightly.

The problem you have with it is that you don't seem to realize that you aren't paying more for affection. Every item is the same 417 currency per affection point. The costs did not increase as a result of this, the shop prices are still the same per affection point, it's just for sale at a larger bulk volume now. Nothing forces you to buy it out every restock, and it wouldn't even make sense to do so because with the new system it's possible to gain more affection than you would need. Gaining affection is going to be possible at a higher rate while the cost in money remains the same, reducing the time needed.
If the price per affection point has not changed, and the amount of money you gain has not changed, then what really has changed at all? The items now give more affection points per item, but if the item costs more, aren't you simply paying the same, but for fewer items? How can the time needed be reduced when the cost of the items, as in the cost per affection point per item is the same? Even if they increase the times the market refreshes, with the cost actually being the same, you still cannot purchase anymore affection points than you did before in the same amount of time.

Also, if you can't "buy out the shop every restock", you won't be buying any more affection points than you are now, because you won't be making enough in game currency to do so.

Or, am I totally misunderstanding how this is supposed to work? I'm not putting down the changes, but it really doesn't sound like anything is changing as far as affection gain is concerned.
