gaia never gets all the bugs out of stuff before they release a new feature, also they seem to think we want new crap all the time (not the items new items are cool, but only if all the bugs are worked out before releaseing them)
about the people who paid real money for there fish:
I too would be mad if i used real money on this place and was treated like dirt
about the people who earn most of there gold by, or just like playing booty grab:
I feel how you feel, its so amazing how little gaia seems to care for its users wants and needs
I make 99% of my gold from booty grab. heck half of the items on my avi came from booty grab gold. plus I have b-days and other things I have to buy gifts for and with out b-grab I have no gold
to the people flaming and or hating on the people in this thread for expressing there stress:
grow up!! if you paid for or spent time on something and them something comes along and messes it up, you have all rights to be upset. every person has there only story as to why this is so angering but one thing is the same we all want are gold. back before booty grab came along it was so much harder to get an item more than 50k with out spending weaks or months posting and playing gaia's little crap games making 1-600 gold..oh ya that'll get you the items of your wish list no time. or you would have to spend real money to get some items, and not every one can spare the money!
also yes it would not hurt them to post a quick announcement about the problme and letting us know if any thing at all is even being tried to fix it.
