Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm getting really sick of having to wade through 10 announcements a day full of stuff I don't even care about. There really needs to be an option to turn off announcements, or they need to slow down and not release 10-15 new things a day.

Really, just cash shop stuff is the problem. Other announcements are okay because they're so hard to come across. The only people I feel like I ever see in my inbox are frickin' Jet and Cygnus.

Also, I don't care if Gaia Cash is on sale for 5% off. What kind of sale is that anyway? That's like getting a coupon to get one free extra french fry with your order of french fries. gonk

I don't even read through the announcements, I click through them and if the header has got anything to do with "GaiaCash Sale", recolours, "Dice Roll" I just go, meh, not interested, next...

Gaia is so useless now, most of my friends left after Resort World and Monster Galaxy got taken out of the game. I don't even know why I'm still here. Gaia was so fun when I first joined, back in 2010. Honestly, this website has become a money-sucking leech since the change of management.

Have you realized that the events are now no longer fun anymore? Every event since...was it December last year? That there's always Switchem and receiving recolours of the same items? I think that it's highly unoriginal, it's like the event co-ordinators don't know what being "fun" and "unique" is any more.

Whatever new management they got is obviously only concerned with how much money they can make. It's really saddening. I remember in 2011 I could up and not visit the site for months and come back to two or three missed announcements, and they would all be for events. Now it's all Cash Shop crap, at dozens daily. neutral Guess this is a no-fun zone.

I seriously think every announcement I've seen over the past week or so have all been Cash Shop or cash sale related. It's getting ridiculous.

there's really nothing for me. I skimmed through the Easter event one. they aren't interesting in the slightest these days.

I am getting SO sick and tired of their announcements. There was 10 a day once. And everyday its some "40% off Item A for 3 hours only!" Then three hours after that it'll be "20% off Item A for 1 hour only!"

Knock it off already, Gaia.
Guys, just stop looking at them altogether.
Leave the notification bubble with 10 announcements up there. That's what I do.

I was about to make a post about this very same thing myself, being an old gaian returning after not being able to get on for a while...

The announcements are out of control.
The money grabs are out of control.
I ignore it all anyway, seen as announcements, which use to mean something, now mean nothing...

At least I'm not the only one with this opinion. I mean, I came on today after being on yesterday and clearing them out, to 10 announcements. Since I've been on today alone, I've gotten another 3-4 of them, all about gaia cash sales or something (wasn't paying attention).

Seriously. We don't need this many announcements!

It doesn't work, at least for me. I still have to see "10 announcements" at the top no matter what. I've tried disabling announcements for everything on my account, they're still there. gonk
