The only place I seem to have issues with that message is in my customize avatar page. I am intimately familiar with all my items there (many I've had for years) and I change clothing frequently. Too often I'm whizzing through my items trying on this and that and playing with multiple poses. I've never even gotten a slow down message on that page, generally my avatar just disappears as if I've lost internet connection (which happens often enough for that to be my first assumption) and it's not until I try to go to the main page that it gives me the message.

While I do my best to slow down it always seems to be too fast for gaia. Now I understand if their systems really cannot handle that kind of activity from all of us, but I think the customize avatar should be set to slightly different rules. If you get a slow down message here it should have a slightly higher threshold until it is triggered and hold you for only a minute or two since the message is simply to slow down a little. I cannot imagine there being a need to stop bots in this area, what can trying on clothes do to earn gold? Nothing right? So there would be no bots in this area, stopping someone for more than a minute or two should not be necessary I think.


It's also pretty unnecessary for it to appear on the inventory screen and while playing a Gee Boi Turbo or a Midsummer Swirl (or any item like those), but it still happens for those, too. sweatdrop

I completely agree with what you said, though.


True true. Pretty much any area where there would be no cause for botting because it earns no gold to do so or has any other advantage.

And that's what makes me think the system has a few flaws (maybe it's out-dated?). I'd love to have them noticed and/or explained.
     


      i think the should make it optional for gaia to grant gold.
      like when i'm vending if it would get rid of SDB's i'd turn off getting gold for surfing...
 
     
 
Oh great, I just got kicked out of my main account for the fourth time today while playing Midsummer Swirls. stressed

I think it's a neat idea, but I'm not sure how they could do that.

I shouldn't think it would be TOO difficult. Would it be that much different than turning on or off any other feature they allow us to? It would be nice merely because it would eliminate many of us as suspected botters for certain things, I like the idea. I'd probably leave gold granting on my mules because I hardly use them anymore but I'd most definitely turn it off for my main.

I suppose you're right. sweatdrop
I'd turn it off for my main too, especially if it meant I'd stop getting the message.
     
Hey, great, booted out for the fifth time today.

I'm going to stop buying and using Midsummer Swirls. I give up. I'm tired of wasting my money and being punished for absolutely nothing. stressed

Legal.

      I get that when I'm browsing Forums, like whenever I hit the back button and click on a topic...
      SLOW DOWN HOT SHOT.
      However, it doesn't allow me to get on Gaia at all. Refresh, new tab, new window...
      SLOW DOWN HOT SHOT.
      Just fail. Excuse me and my fast interwebs >.>

I would love a way to turn off granting gold to be able to vend.
I get disappointed everytime I have to wait to get back on Gaia to vend again.
 
     
 
it does that when i'm trying on stuff from the EI museum. i want to know how many times are "repeated offenses" until you are banned?!

I've gotten the message four times before. Twice when I was searching the MP, once when I was using a couple Midsummer Swirls, and once a few hours ago when I was changing my avi.
WTH Gaia! Everything I've done is totally 100% legal.
They need to either get a faster system or make that button to turn off the gold. stare
