The Dreaded NPC Profile [Jet and Cygus]
Disclaimer: This is no place for rude comments what so ever. If a sixteen year old can act mature when expressing her ideas, so can you. And if you are below 13... Well you shouldn't really even be on here to be quite honest. This is just an idea out of being tired of having to sit around while others complain. I want Gaia to change for the better as much as anyone else, but people just have to make certain steps to do so. If you don't like my ideas, then that's fine. I won't chastise you for it. If you have better ideas, just comment about it. Any rude/hurtful/perverted remarks will be deleted from this topic. I am allowed to fufill my role of freedom of speech according to the Bill of Rights made in September 25, 1789 and ratified on December 15, 1791 especially with this being my topic.

XXXXXXIt has been a certain pass-time of mine to always open my announcements in hopes that it isn't Admin that is sending the messages, but rather Jet and Cygus. And no, it's not for his sexiness, but rather, to go to their profile and see the insults, threats and even profanity that is being shot at them. At first, I would be the kind of girl that would join in and blame them for the multitude of announcements. I would also rant to them about how their Gold Gens are ruining Gaia. But as I read more and more hateful comments towards the NPC, I realized that what I was doing was silly: I was silly for arguing with a someone that truly had nothing to do with the inflation... Granted, I didn't say announcements...
XXXXXXThe only reason I didn't say it isn't his fault for the announcements because: Jet is the one that gives the announcements, but it's his job [like how it is apparently everyone else's job to curse him out and threaten him for doing what he is meant to do...] And also, despite the rush of announcements, sure it gets a tad old, but at least we get to know what's going on: Like sales, to golden invitations, to new and cool items. [And I am sure some of us wouldn't know about these things without them, I know I wouldn't to be honest.]
[Stops to look at announcement]
XXXXXXBut on the part about how people blame Jet for gold gens: It seems unfair that people punish him for what the company and the people do Yes, just as much as we all hate to admit it, we are also the blame for the inflation. Gold Gens is the equivalent to air for some Gaians: They buy it anytime they get money. I know for myself that when I first started around 2013, I would buy gold gens like it was [Insert cheap product.] And since I was new, I wouldn't understand the impact of buying too many gold gens. But ever since I discovered they were the cause of the inflation, I simply had to "quit cold turkey" and find other means of earning money: ZOMG, selling things on the marketplace and even doing art commissions [despite my amateur skills in the arts, I have a lot more to go...] And let's not forget the high marketplace pricing. If people hate the inflation so much, why not sell your items for cheap? Make a group that permits the selling of items for cheaper than the average marketplace pricing.
Also, despite Jet being controlled by a member of the company no doubt, it seems unfair to place all the blame on him. Why not go to an admin's profile? All I have seen there were compliments. No one has tried to insult, threaten or curse-out one of them for allowing such things to happen to this site [I am not endorsing violation against Section 4 of the T.O.S.] And to talk to an Admin grants a better chance of getting a response that speaking to an NPC, especially cursing out an NPC.
XXXXXXAnd with the profanity and the threats and the works, come on now. There is a better way to handle this than to stoop so low as to curse out a NPC who is never going to read it [Sadly, he will never see my fangirl notes...] Of course, I won't force you to quit since it's your freedom of speech, but at least act mature and handle it in a respective manner. I have legitimately seen threats made against Jet and Cygus [Legal threats, violent threats.]
XXXXXXEnough about my nagging, instead of complaining, how about we do something about this and fix it? There are many ways for people to fix this whole inflation thing [and the announcements if you truly try.] And after a failed walkout and
Here are a few ideas:
XXXXXX=Like how there are gold sink clubs, why not make a specific club designated to make clothing prices cheaper. I'd hate to use this blasted site as an example, but on Roblox online, there is a club called [NBC] which is designed to make clothing cheaper since "Robloxians" are suffering the same difficulties as us. Why not make a guild that focuses on lowering marketplace sellings for members and possible new-members? Not only will people not feel cheated for being the only one who is lowering prices while they still have to pay a full price, but it's a good way to communicate with one another and find a way to lower the marketplace prices for all Gaians to enjoy once again. And we may not even need that with trades that can happen between members.
XXXXXX=A letter can go a long way: I haven't written a letter yet out of fear, but I am highly considering on doing so just to see if it works truly. An email won't do good since I am sure many of you have sent emails to Gaiaonline and have not received a message back. So here is the address if you are interested [If Gaia never wanted me to know their address, then they wouldn't have placed it in their T.O.S- Gaia Interactive, Inc: PO Box 612680, San Jose, CA 95161-2680. And please refrain from any rude/sexual/prejudice/vulgar comments and/or questions. You are teenagers-Adults, act like it please. For your pride and sake of the employees of Gaiaonline.]
XXXXXX=Participate in more gold sinks and stop buying gold generators. The more gold everyone has, the higher the Marketplace listings will be, so to ease the tension of the marketplace, why not participate in more gold sinks. When Gaia sets up a gold sink, even though the items you can win may be rubbish, just think about the prices going lower in a distant future if everyone puts their effort into it, even a few thousand gold helps so as long as many people as possible are participating.
XXXXXX=Don't get yourself banned. To those that threaten, curse out or insult Jet, remember: You have a high chance of getting banned one day. According to the Terms of Service Rules of Gaiaonline...

XXXXXXJet is still a part of Gaia, so to give such comments will define a ban if you keep it up. just a warning so I don't have to see any of your beautiful avis go to waste because of such mistakes.
XXXXXX=Believe it or not: Walkouts aren't the best idea. The more people that leave Gaiaonline, the more money Gaia will lose. So if we have only a small rich population, the economy will go through quite a drastic change as it will quickly find itself in an elitist economy where if you are not a part of the upper class, you will not survive an hour on here. So we need more and more members to come online so that there will be an economical balance of lower, middle, and upper class players on Gaiaonline. That's how economy works after I have watched the C-Span channel multiple times.
XXXXXX=Most importantly, work together: If we all argue, there will be no source of change in this site. It will all seem like one big industry to us. Guess what? It is an industry. People make their money off of this site by programming new features for us to enjoy with our money. It's life, people need money to survive, of course, you have the ultimate control over this site whether you wish to pay out your wallet for GCash, whether you sit down and do nothing, whether you prefer freedom of speech and complain appropriately, or if you wish to make gold sinks and/or lower marketplace listings.
XXXXXXI love this site just as much as anyone else, but I am tired of sitting around and watching this site crumble from the lack of unresponsiveness of the company and the vulgarity of some of the members towards staff members and even each other.
If you are remotely interested in a guild where marketplace listings can be legally altered for a fair buy and a decent profit, then just say you are interested. Sure my ideas may not be perfect, I am just pitching in something on the table to start a variety of new ideas, it was what I thought at the moment

P.S. I am opened to respectable ideas that we Gaian members can complete within our power. Just please list your idea and a description of it. And truly, if you don't wish to participate, I won't force you.
