Good luck. I hope they don't run KS for all the stores. Though I noticed they're raising the selling price of the H. R. Wesley gold items, which might mean they'll do the same for the other shops. (Raise the gold price and thus the cash price.) I understand that, as a business now, they have to raise revenue to pay their staff, and would prefer to make a profit above that. Still, I rather miss the simplicity of '03.
They are rather going waaaay overboard with the constant 'harassment' to buy/spend Gaia Cash. Only reasons I can think of way they doing this is because the previous CEO lost a lot of money trying to make successful facebook games and that put the company in the 'red', so to fix that this new guy tried to think of the easiest and cheapest way to make cash, tested it with the Gold Gens, they were a success, and also re-released items that were previously promised would never happen, and recoloring every time that is 'popular'. And it worked, its not hard recoloring items, or simply changing the name and payout of a gold gen. Most recent success are these kickstarters.
Though by now they've must've made enough cash to take care of all the debt, now they just getting greedy.
