Is the GAIA economy really being fixed by the donation drive?
I myself currently have 11 K, and that is ONLY because my birthday was just on March 8th and I got over 20 k in items and pure gold from my many, many gaia friends. I used to have 16 K, but obviously I donated 5 to Gambino's drive... and now I'm wondering if it was a smart thing to do. I buy 2-3 Donation letters a month (Depending on whether or not I can afford it, I don't post as often as I wish) before they open, and they on average cost 4.5-5 K each. Obviously, by donating, I cost myself a letter...
Whereas, I know plenty of millionaires who say they didn't donate more than 1 k to him. I know there are a generous few who donated a LOT, but still... I feel like the economy isn't being fixed, because the people who can't really afford it are being as generous as they can, while a lot of greedy people I know are donating less than the "poor" people when I know full-well they could donate 20 times more than what is donated by the poor people.
So, discuss: Do YOU believe that the economy is being fixed by the donation event?
