What part of everyone telling them not to sell gold are they not getting?

I assume this is another "first time cash buyer's" bonus?
I still think they're going the wrong direction with these. Offer bonuses to people who regularly buy and spend cash (aside from just giving them access to a store where they get to spend MORE cash!), customer loyalty is priceless.

It is.
And I agree. Offers like these might offend regular cash buyers. I think that loyal spenders should get similar bonuses - but that would really kill off the MP imo. :/
I think they tried to give loyal cash spenders an exclusive with club verge, but I've heard it's too exclusive for the average GC spender >w<

I went ahead and tried it on my mule, and the reward granted there was just ONE flynn's booty, not 25.

I guess Gaia did succeed in making me spend cash on an account I'd never spent it on before, though.

I used to have one or two but can't even remember the passwords for them anymore! If I had all that gold I would still be a scrooge and keep most of it. After purchasing a few choice items in the exchange, of course.

Mentally swimming in gaian gold does sound tempting. Invite me over if you ever get that rich? c:
I can't help but spend my gold emotion_facepalm
Haha I have that problem whenever a good RIG gets released. I'll be a big dummy and spend some gold on it only to lose 90% of the time.

...wow. I'm just speechless.

What is the point of spending GC on this site when the advantages of NOT spending GC is far superior than the overpriced crap in Club Verge?

Wow, I also find it funny that on Gaia's official ToS it says quite clearly: "Users are not allowed to spend money on gaia gold" but I guess it's spending gaia cash on an item that gives gold so it's a loophole

I would write a complaint letter for sending such a deceitful PM <w<
If they promise 25, they should not give you just one booty.

I think there are ways to reward long-time buyers without breaking the economy too bad (moreso than it's already broken, at any rate sweatdrop ). BOGOs, coupons, discounts, any number of little things that don't necessarily give anyone a huge advantage in the Market but are nice bonuses nonetheless. It's a delicate balance though, for sure.

While I aggressively disagree about the offer itself, I think I take more objection to the offer not giving out what it promises to it's users. confused

Seriously, not even one bundle of 25 but a single item?

You could get a 1000 point achievement for entering/being in Club Verge the first time. I doubt people care that much about achievement points but it is a nice incentive

Same here! Most I get is old cheap crap though.
I tried the last rig when they promised most older crap was filtered out. Turned out to be blatant lies as out of 40 tries, I only got 3 (cheap) items actually related to Starlight Redemption emotion_facepalm

Hmmm. I was curious about this, so I hopped onto a mule I made after the last round of Pm's went out with an offer for first-time buyers.
I haven't purchased any GCash with this account, so I was hoping to maybe see that PM.
Alas, I do not have it. I wonder what the criteria is to receive such a PM. I would have thought merely not purchasing cash would be enough.

For five bucks, I would be alllllllllllllll over that offer. Like.... that is an absolutely insane offer.

Yep. Just a single Flynn's Booty item.

I guess I'll need to fill out a billing inquiry form.
