Gaia has gotten ridiculous.
I remember back when the blue and white layout was still around, and the one before that as well. I remember an older Gaia, a better one where there was no Cash Shop, and the only thing you could spend was gold. Those days are gone and dead, it seems, and Old Gaia has been felled by corporate greed. What ever happened to trying to please the user base? When did that get to where it was something that Gaia hated to do?
What happened, Gaia?
I see the new Gaia and I cringe. It is a place dominated by the sponsor's interests, and anything will be done for a few bucks, especially if it slams down on the user base. I know some people here recall a time long before that, and I just can't help but shake my head and wonder when things got so convoluted. Everything is done now just for the money. This place has gone from a solid and enjoyable site to a mere hollow shell of its former glory, one corrupted and twisted from within by avarice. And here we are, hearing some in the company levels cry 'the Old Gaia is dead, long live New Gaia!' The golden age of Gaia is gone. It has been replaced by a foray back into the Dark Ages.
I sign for all the better days, and in the hope that they can someday return.
