What is considered "average" with the new Gold system?

[Noiteu]

Damn seeing all these posts make me feel incredibly poor. I always struggle with keeping up gold, an normally i have 2-3 billion, depending on if the things i want have gone down. I only got to have my most expensive item because somebody had put it up about 10 bil lower than average crying

[lilicorn]

i usually have anywhere between 5bil and 15bil

Wow, I just came back after a multi-year hiatus. The first think i did was look at the marketplace and I had no idea what was going on, and why everything was priced in the billions!

This is the only thread I've found that actually explained a bit more to me.
Just came back after a hiatus and had a lil panic attack...
I left rich and came back poor. wtf?

What may help is if Gaia decides to put a cap on how much an item can be listed for.

I throw away items worth 2b or less every day.
Every goddamn day.
They're not worth the time it takes to sell them.

I think 50b-ish is normal these days. You can get alot of good stuff with that much.
1tril is like what 20m was back when the D*C glorianna laces were released, I think.
Anyone remember those days? Hm?
I think that's a fair comparison that everyone should understand.

I've no idea what the average Gaian has on hand.

Personally I try an keep my gold count at 100bil or above. I hate being broke so if my gold count dips below I sell stuff until I deem it healthy. It probably helps that I dress my avi like this. Having a very specific style certainly cuts down on crazy quests.

So I, too, just came back from a multi-year hiatus, and I just....
I had 400,000 G when I left, thinking THAT was a lot!
Now I'm here just staring at the market place like "How does this even happen??"

I also, as I was going to make this post, came across a random event that gave me like 45,000,000 G and THAT'S not a lot?? Good lord...

Now, I guess my question is: how do I bounce back in this new economy? Like, how am I to get billions and billions of G like everyone else has got? I could sell some of my really old items from 2009 or so, but I'm still a bit attached to those.

I'm just. Wow. This is incredible.

I know someone who has over a trillion gold. Myself, I tend to hover around the 50-90 billion range.

Crazy how sudden the spike occurred. There was no steady rise, a transition. Just... A million one day meant you were fairly wealthy, the next? A million is the equivalent of a handful of pennies. Just nuts, thinking about it.

When did the change take place?

I can't pin an exact date (due to shitty memory), but it was several months ago, I think. The moment the site started spamming us with gold generators, it took only about a week or so for a million gold to go from buy-a-small-island-nation rich to pocket change.

Yeah, I want to know who thought that was a good idea.

When I came back I sold a couple of older items that I had some multiples of, which brought me up to around 45 bil. You can also just resort to real money, or slowly save...or sell charms or whatever.

[emi desu]

i have 83 bil. just 7 bil from my quest. emo

Hmm... I do have a bit of cash saved up, somehow... 675 to be exact. I don't even remember how I got it, lol.

I've heard that in the past there were items I could buy with cash that would get me gold. Are those still around now? I have the feeling those'd give me a head start.

I wouldn't buy the gold generators because they give varying amounts, they're like chance items. I think the best thing to just buy something from the cash shop and sell it, but check to see what they're going for on the marketplace first. Be careful not to miss-price anything with all those zeros!

I have had history of terribly miss-pricing things, but that still sounds like a pretty solid idea. Thanks! I really need to get back in the loop of things. ._.

Well, according to what I've grasped of their situation at the time, the site was sort of in the red. Not saying it was a grand idea in the long run, but apparently a lot of people basically threw their money at Gaia for easy gold.
