This is a slap in the face of all of us that support gaia by buying actual gaia cash in what ever form of payment we use right now whether it be via paypal, money order, check etc. I spend over 50 a month on this game and now you Gaia have just lost me as a customer. Good Going I will find a place that would at least thank me for my using my money on their site.
... you get the bonus items from the Cash Cards and the Paypal transactions, don't you?
And this is no different than offering incentives and discounts for subscribing to magazines rather than buying single issues on a newsstand. Which every single magazine in print does.
