It's only a matter of time until it becomes 1 quadrillion. I don't even know what comes after that. Pentillion? Septillion??
I'm just here to feed my aquarium and sacrifice virgins to get into Loyal's bazaar now. Even though it's been OVER A MONTH AND A HALF and it STILL says "ONLY 16 F^&KING DAYS LEFT"
I love how daily chance still only gives you 500 gold at most. Like ooh wow thanks now I can buy that cheap ugly a** pair of shoes from the boutique I've always wanted.
The daily chance and gold-granting games are woefully effing behind on the inflation front. 160 gold for Jigsaw? Wow. 6 gold for selling a guppy? Amazing. The holiday Switch'Em games at least grant in the thousands, which still isn't beans once your get to the marketplace (to say nothing of having to pay real money for extra moves and a way out of screens with no further moves possible,) but it puts a lot of high-tier gold shop items in reach for new users. I know when I was new, I thought I'd never be able to afford 15-20K for some of the stuff in HR Wesley without spending every gold I had.
I'm just baffled at how Gaia can see the effects of inflation enough to keep upping the [potential] payouts of gold rigs, but lol, 75 gold for selling back an emote mask every day is all the reward your steady logins deserve! 75 gold was good enough in 2003, and by gum, it's still good enough for you ungrateful whippersnappers! Made it through twenty levels of word bump? Don't spend this 300 gold all in one place! Half of every MP page has prices in the billions? Here's another 4th Amigo shirt that you can sell for 8, and a half a gold we round down that you don't even get! And of course, the trees and bushes in towns *still* don't give out anything above 9.
They're giving out stupid amounts of gold in generators anyway, so what would it hurt to throw the newbies and non-GC users a bone and make the daily chance and game payouts better? For the first time in, what, eleven years? In the face of almost 2M% inflation? It might give them hope, make them want to stick around, and maybe even eventually make some of them comfortable with the thought of buying something from a site that gives a crap about them being happy users.
