I took a long, looooooong hiatus. Laurels were still about 9M. And I decided to join in the Christmas events & donate gifts to people, and some items that were like 5-10 k that are the ugly bundle items are now close to 1M.

People are talking about inflation, is that the REAL worth of items or just what people are asking? I'm curious because I did an inventory worth so I could tektek myself & it has me at a LOT. Demon Horns & Ninja Band are both over 1B. I'm just wondering what the ******** happened. Sorry if I'm out of the loop, I tried to find a thread to address item worth issues but only found inflation topics that didn't answer this question.

Thanks. xx

Real worth? It has gotten so out of hand and so ridiculous it no longer matters except where anything that has a sellback value should be counted now. At least, that is how I feel.

Everything else is just hyper-inflated to worthlessness.

So is buying any new items worth it? or is it just wasting my gold on items? Do people actually buy these items that are super inflated? Like if I wanted to sell my NHB for its "worth", or would it forever sit? Sorry for sounding dumb, I'm just baffled that items are listed for so much damn much and I don't even know what caused the inflation.

Flynnation hit. And then more of this "gamification". Everything is so volatile. Not really worth buying anything unless it is something you want to collect for yourself. Otherwise, Gaia will release items and the prices go down and some people will b***h about how they "lost gold and value" when they really haven't.

How long have things been inflating? Back in December the golden laurels were like 26M(because I thought they were still 8-9M & wanted to buy them finally lmfao) and it seems everything has jumped WAY up in just a few months.

Things started going up around April of last year. Then increased in June. Then in Augut, whehn Flynn came by with a bounty of booty... it all accelerated out of control.

NOW, the Devs "fixed" the gold cap for our accounts and for the mp (big huge mistake... wish they had confined it to just the auctioned part) and then - all hell broke loose! It's an Apocalypse!

Sorry.. What is the gold cap? Like, you can't have more than X amount of gold in your account or list items for more than X amount?

Precisely, they raised the gold cap because a small number of users complained that they couldn't keep all their "hard-earned" gold in one account. Wish they'd listen to a large number of users and release the inventory arranger.

If it's any consolation, the MP is probably going to crash in the next few months and the raised cap will be rendered useless. emotion_dowant

Are many people even buying the inflated items? Like, are people seriously buying Golden Laurels for 1B when a year ago they were 7.5M(just as an example - I can't get over the fact I didn't buy them before my hiatus since at the time they were coming down in price so I thought if I waited they'd be lower) blaugh

Unfortunately... yes. Because of the gold generators Gaia has been putting out since Flynn.

What are the gold generators? Stuff you buy was GC? Or just a way for the "average Joe" to become *affluent* on here?
