Unfortunately, you can now un-soulbind. I waited until I also had a gem to DMS so mine wouldn't get soulbound. ;__;
I still say this means they should re-release halos and stuff, since they seem to be okay with going back on things they said. (I also don't see how allowing you to unsoulbind is the middle road either.)
Silly manticoala, having trust and whatnot.
Yes I was silly to trust Gaia's guarantees, I will definitely think twice before trusting again. The amulet was by no means cheap.
But now it is. Cheap and useless.
This is not the first time Gaia cheats their own supporters out of their investments. Not long ago, Phin Phang only-cash items for which we paid a lot were added to the Daily Chance. And now most of them are commons that sell for less than 100g.
The staff said they would think of a solution that would please most, but this "solution" only pleases those who not only enjoyed their head-start in DMS but now are given the choice to enjoy it some more by selling the amulet. So they had a total 3 choices.
Whereas our only choice turned out to be missing the head-start fun
for nothing and feeling stupid for trusting Gaia. This is what I feel worst about, that I could have had first-hand fun there too after all.
The choice of equipping the amulet or not was to be an informed decision for everyone. Those who chose to use the amulet knew exactly what they were doing, so if it remained soulbound now they wouldn't be loosing anything they didn't sign up to in the first place. It's like changing a contract after it's been ratified and paid.
I've got to remind myself that Gaia is a money-making enterprise, because many times they trick us into forgetting that.
