As mush as everyone wants to complain about club verge and everyone that spends their actual money on this site getting some sort of privilege on here I'd like like to say thanks.
I've spent a good amount of money on this site over the years and really it's about time that gaia gives privelages for spending more. Face it, if it wasn't for everyone spending their hard earned money on this site we wouldn't have all the events, features or anything on here.
Yes it did start as a free site, but really it could only stay that way for a while. If they're giving an exclusive shop to the big spenders then so be it. I work in the retail world and know how it is, if the people that spend hundreds geta bit of an incentive then so be it, they are after all the ones that keep this site running after all.
I think all this "money hungry" Gaia thing is rubbish, face it. After all they are the ones that keep this site running year after year so why not give them a bit of an incentive to spend more?
I do not see how Club Verge is a reward for the amount of money we have given them... the reward is to spend more than the amount it takes to get into the club for one item... some of which are only one pose at that?!?
I do not have a problem with a special store, especially the idea of the SD Plus doll of yourself, but to call it a 'reward' is ridiculous.
For those that are trying to compare this to the 'high rollers' in casinos, those players really do get perks and incentives when they go to those casinos... really discounted penthouse type rooms, discounts for their meals and shows, etc. Club Verge on the other hand gives no discounts and actually does the reverse and is selling items that cost almost more than anything they have ever sold in the regular cash shop before (of course some of the recent summer sales items compare to the prices of Club Verge).
