I don't play with GC, is there any point in sticking around?

[Soul of Kyr]

This is a Forum Site, not a Game Site. Their Pixels are nice, but they aren't needed and the one who gets the most pixels or spends the most GC does NOT win a prize. That means GC is not needed for you to enjoy the site.
I get so tired of people saying things like that....

I feel the same way. It's like seriously Gaia, slow your roll and ******** off. I'm not spending any money. I'm sick of 10+ "announcements" advertising the same cash shop thing over and over and over again.

Quoted for truth.

Seriously, I cannot wait for this Summer Sale to end. I'm sick of clicking through these announcements just to clear my fawking header. emotion_facepalm

I don't play with G-Cash either. I can't afford it and I've long stopped doing Cash Tree rewards.
Now, I just sell junk and earn gold that way.
I still stick around for the friends I've made and the role plays I'm apart of.

I'm getting back into the manga now too. At least it's getting touched at all nowadays.
As for items, hah, I'm not that interested anymore. Anything shiny is out of my reach unless someone feels charitable. xd

eh the people who run gaia has changed hands a few times.

its a forum tho, thats the main reason for comin here i guess

that's what they alll say.....
im sure it helps if you had a fancy avatar in the gaiaonline community

[gundamzphyr7]

I only roleplay so I've always got something to do. The avatar stuff is secondary.

[aliceloatheswonderland]

The people, the user base.
The friendly peeps.
Thats what is here for non cash users.

[Soreiyu]

First and foremost Gaia is a forum. If you can't afford the items then it's not such a big deal. I mean isn't it more enjoyable to find people with similar interests to chat with?

[Mariu]

As much as it's a forum site I'm really only here because of habit. I can only whine so much about inflation and the cb moves too quickly for me to post like I was before so I don't really have a reason to stay I guess.

^-^ I know the feeling all too well. Despite what I appear, I too am a non GC user.
>w<;; I get gifted and I work hard for my earnings. I believe if one has the talent to create something, one can get gold through one's hard work. But what's the point if you have to work grueling hours on a game for some ol' pixels, ey?
It's the friendship and entertaining posts that matter the most.

[The Moonlight Densetsu]

The forums are my fav part so that. I don't see a reason to leave because dressing up the avis was never my only reason to like this site

[Janine Melnitz]

Don't really use GC. I think there are other stuff to do here than dress up. I like random posting.

Gaia is a forum site. So if you don't like interacting with other people, there is not much for you to do.

But seriously, you cab enjoy the forums just fine without having to buy anything.

I don't even check announcements anymore and I don't feel like I am missing out on anything.
actually, I feel like I am more relaxed about the state of Gaia than 99% of the people bitching and whining about every new cash item.
