The Marketplace was once a place for competition in selling one items, But now its just a place where if people who hate the exchange can come for less pain and get an item with less hassel. In general the marketplace will only get worse there is nothing anyone can do.


And besides, the Marketplace has way too high prices...Some of the Easter Baskets are like 2K now...!!

Christ on a cracker you people act like you have to buy stuff, if you don't like it don't buy it. The less bought there the lower the items will become.



Whatever...

Of course you wouldn't care CJ, looks like you have everything you want. There are those of us who ARE questing items. Items need to become cheaper. Hell, all the items I've sold in the past have all sold because I make them about 300-500 less than the highest market value, and they sell rather quickly. Something for all those market sellers out there.
Gaia is (thank Jesus) a capitalistic system. Because of it we can inflate the value of certain Items like donation letters to exhorbantly high prices and people (Praise be to Allah) will pay for them. You will be unable to defeat this capitalistic system unless you create a (oh sweet Buddha no) socialistic system. The Gaia Exchange and the Marketplace are perfetly legitimate ways to get rich enough to buy ultra rares. If you do not like it I suggest you create your own store and sell items for less.

May the Goddess be with you.

I know it may seem like a bit much to ask of a people driven by money, yes - but maybe there is hope? Maybe the wealthy will step down and even lend a hand in lowering the prices themselves..
Why would they do that? surprised
Just so some poor people stop whining?

It's basic supply and demand. The more people come on Gaia the more prices will go up.

Not if all of us who are undergoing quests ban together and talk to people and admins alike to get GEN prices lowered. That's what needs to be done.

GEN has nothing to do with the prices, it just reports how much other people are charging for their stuff. Besides, most people don't even use GEN as a primary guide anymore.

This idea has been done to death. People who have donated real money and worked hard to get donation letters worth millions in Gaian gold aren't going to start charging 5K a pop just because other Gaians want their stuff but can't afford it. You don't go to a car dealership and beg one of the dealers to let you have the new $30,000 Honda Sugoi for a hundred bucks because that's all you have.

I'd like to have angelic minis myself, but I'm not willing to put in the time, effort, and sacrifice it'd take to raise that kind of gold. Somehow I'm living with it, though.

hit www. in my sig I have a quest, I joined in April 04 and I worked My a** off. Quit bitching. My current quest is like almost 1 billion gold. I worked for all i had and thats what everyone has to do. I do care. I give up my time to Be a GCD Helper, gave away over 100 million gold in items to help stop item inflation, and even worked with a few Exchange helpers to actually make a change in the prices. Don't make assumptions about people because of three lines they type. I am very dedicated and I understand the only way to change the items in general is to try and do something insted of discuss it. I understand I have done little that probably won't even scratch the inflation surface, but i work for my community and give something back. Again don't make half informed opinions on people you don't know. [/rant]
im sorry . . but it's not supposed to be easy for a n00b to get rare items, then they wouldn't be rare. . . the whole point to items like those is that yo have to work insanely hard to get them. It's a statement. I can understand what you want to accomplish i sympathasize, but rare items will always be expensive, no way around that. They inflate because there are only so few of them on the market, so if everyone is trying to buy it of course the price will raise so the person most determined to get it will ultimately win. some basics to economy you just can't change unless you want anarchy
Its called capitalism, its a real pain in the a** but you can't do anything stop complating and play along.
So have we sufficiently crushed your dreams now? surprised

Hope remains immortal, no matter how many times my efforts will die.

I'm now a supporter of WIN, so feel free to let this thread rest in peace, please.
