In all honesty Gaia

[Kroneru]

Seriously... $1,200



Really. Go ahead and thwart all our efforts in questing, vending, and other ventures we use to earn gold to obtain items. Why not just buy your way to the top and sell your spoils to starving peasants who aren't "loyal" enough to buy Gaia Cash. Go ahead. Because if you need this much funding from the average user to run this site just shut it down.

[Garrod Ran]

It's fast become beyond a joke

[Senboku]

agreed, also, it scares me that someone will most likely pay 1200 for some pixels...

[Kroneru]

I don't know who they think their main demographic is but I don't even make that in a month.

[Rawrzellers]

What do you mean pay rent, bills, and buy food? I can't live without my Win Gaia Plus Bundle. I will literally die if I can't have it. My parents will just pay for everything anyway.

[Misatabi]

Kroneru

What was your impression on the original bundle? And the price for the A. Halo single from way back?

[laughter7]

it's clearly not meant for the average user otherwise it wouldn't be that price

[Gash Thrashum]

Best deal on the site. There are people who spend more than a thousand over several months buying GC items which provide only a fraction of the value you get from this particular bundle. The difference here is you pay a large amount up front. I imagine a lot of Gaians with an addiction to spending on CS items can easily afford one if they simply hoarded the amount of GC they tend to get over a few months.

Being "pixel rich" isn't anything special nor does it really denote skill of any sort anymore when anyone can just purchase bundles like this one. All you need is enough disposable income to be set for a really long time. I think I value my ability to put together interesting avatars more than having enough extra income to "win" Gaia. However, I don't hold any ill will towards people who spend their money in this manner. All I can really say for myself is that I would not care much for obtaining wealth or items on this site if it weren't for my love of creating interesting avatars. What I find a little more bewildering than spending $1,000+ on a bundle is having all of these expensive items and trillions, only to limit yourself to one specific avatar or avatars that are merely a pile of expensive things thrown together without rhyme or reason.

[Alexius08]

I thought the thousand-dollar halo was bad enough.

[Myrielle]

It does seem like a good deal considering people have spent more just to get those tickets. I would be really tempted if I had $1k lying around in my couch after Bill Gate's visit.

I wonder why, though. It's the other person's money, and their will do with whatever. You can give any number of reasons to spend that kind of money. In the end, it's their dollars.

[ZayzI]

Least someone made a thread finally for the absurdity in the cash shop.
Like I said before, people who are rich can easily take advantage of the site.
That's what the CEO wants, and that's clearly why he's cranking out these bundles. I'm waiting for a dash after these things have been bought.

[Dalia Royce]

Oh it's back. I imagine we'd be seeing that item during big sales from now on.

Also considering what is in it. If the Halo itself is "worth" $1000, take a look at the bargain you get buying that whole bundle.

[Maeche]

People are allowed to spend their money however they please, and if they decide to drop a large sum of money for a small bit of enjoyment while also funding a website that they apparently enjoy being on, hence spending so much on it, who is anyone else to judge.
Also the bundle is not meant for the average gaia user. Its meant for the big spenders that are already willing to invest this sort of money into the website, and there is nothing wrong with marketing towards the big spenders. It has nothing to do with "gaia needs these users to buy these big bundles to stay afloat" its called making a profit. And there is literally nothing wrong with a business making a profit. I could understand if Gaia was harming someone, or a group of people by making money, but they're not.
