If Gaia really wanted to help the site's "inflation" that they've "tried" to get rid of every other way, this would be the way to do it. =/ I guarantee you Gaia could put some of the wigs in the Gold Shops for 500k and members would still buy some of them.
I understand wigs, realistically, are part of what gains them IRL Cash when they're sold through RIGs but really, their reasons for not doing things such as this are getting to be more and more ridiculous by each passing day. =/
Again, I know money revenue is better than gold but people do not look at the fact HOW MUCH MONEY RIGS BRING IN EVEN WITHOUT WIGS. I see people aiming for other poses just as much, if not more, than wigs at times. If they go for wigs, it's only because they are not available in the gold shops.
I do not see why they cannot do both. Maybe once or twice a year, do a decent wig update for the gold shops. Then they can take a put their greedy hands all over rigs with the other ones. There CAN be leeway with this but oh, wait... it would have to be all or nothing with Gaia. Sorry, totally my bad. I forgot what site I was on. =/
See, this is one of my points on the matter. While RIGs bring in revenue, all they do for the marketplace is shuffling so much ggold around from one user to another (minus the 2% tax - and raising the tax will not do anything to help because it will only mean that the marketplace prices will go up - not that it isnt doing that now) at high gold costs because of such greed and because the rares are too rare as far as we can see. It isn't doing enough for gold sinks and wigs is certainly one way to do it. They don't HAVE to be exactly the rares so many people are after. But putting wigs that are just as nice and in various colors (tired of waiting forever for recolors) for large amounts of gold would help. Even one or two in a few of the more popular colors in Dernier Cri.
I am all for RIGs. But the rarity is ridiculous and does not really indicate popularity (already said). Not if they are that rare.
There are people who want to do away with the Salon too because they "don't want to spend gold on the hairstyles". But we are not really seeing cheaper renditions of some of these wigs in there either. At least while in the Salon, we can see ALL of the colors all at once.
Personally, I would not mind seeing styles similar to the Queen of Solaire (there is a similar style in the Salon for common folk already, but something fancier for way more is what I am saying) and others in there for like a million or something either or both put into Dernier cri and Salon but made differently enough or to have some of them in one place and others in the other. (you know they are not gonna be done as nicely as those in the RIGs)
As for some of those other poses, I have resigned, painfully, to the fact I will never get to enjoy them. That silver thing mentioned in Queen of Solaire looks really really nice with the Biancamella corset/dress and some other things.
