I would like to know why the cash shop evolution items have not been constant. Just a year ago today, the items would be taken out of the shop about 2-3 weeks after the final evolution in order to give room to another evolution item. The inconsistency is starting to bother me. For example, why is the moon which is the Halloween evolution item still in the cash shop to be bought? It is december now. The pearl, kottan bell, classilke, and DNA have all finished. If you go to the cash shop and look at the poses for kottan bell it has practically finished evolving.
Now if gaia wants to make evolution items more popular in a sense that people need to buy them before they go out of the shop, don't leave it sitting in there. I would assume that you would make a small profit on leaving them in the shop for a while but over a month is ridiculous. As a consumer, it does not make me want to buy any evolution item right away.
Why buy the item if it is just going to sit in the cash shop for months? What was the point of me buying the Halloween item when it first came out, when I could have saved my money and waited until December.
I have worked in sales for three years. If you have an item that is a 'special' like the evolution items are, and announce the removal like it has previously been done people are more inclined to purchase them if they find value in it. It is all about economics, and if Gaia is so strapped for cash, they are going about it the wrong way.
