It's so ridiculous it's funny.
I log on after only 2 days to see this junk.
I'm staring at the Marketplace like "Thank God I Just Don't Care Anymore..."
lol

considering the name of the item, I'd just consider it more of a desperation move to sell more.

not really surprised at this point, it's always been a marketing tactic with abysmal payouts, just like trying to win the IRL lottery.

I mean, I hope the payouts are shitty
but???
Idk man, I'm just feeling a little irritated by it. I'm not blaming them entirely, my concern is that a bunch of people are going to fall for this and use their GC to buy the gens instead of getting cash shop items.


I also wonder about this because even as the gold gens have crappy payouts, the prices STILL go up even higher in the MP-- and for what? It's not like the GGs are handing out 1 trillion gold every play. There is an extreme amount of gold in the system right now, the gold gens really need to STOP. But I always think about this... I couldn't in good conscience price anything at 1 trillion. emotion_facepalm

I noticed that the prices are still going up too
Even with shitty payouts
What the heck is going on, I wonder?

Wasn't it at 150 billion a few days ago? How does someone go from 150 billion to a trillion?
Let's hope the one user who wins the jackpot (let's be real, there won't be many winners) won't use it to hoard or AI--otherwise we're screwed.

I hope whoever wins it throws it right onto the GoFusion kickstarter

I hope it would go into newbie charities instead, at least it wouldn't be wasted that way :3
I feel like donating to the Gaia gold sinks is just supporting the cycle they created with the gold gens and gold sinks.
I thought they'd at least wait till Black Friday or Christmas before doing this, tbh.

You can taste the desperation. I'm thinking a couple people buy these newer gold gens, get shitty payouts and complain about it, deterring others from buying them. So Gaia keeps trying to tempt people by upping the payout, which almost no one will ever win. Instead they blow a lot of GC for next to nothing, when they could have bought an item and made much more gold selling it on the MP. Hell, they could buy and play RIGs considering the price of some of the even modest RIG drops these days. I hope users are getting wiser and we'll eventually see gold gens just die out because of it. Maybe then the marketplace will finally have some stability.

I keep waiting for this
It just seems to be taking a long time for it to happen sweatdrop

          It was and then it jumped to hundreds of billions of gold. They stopped giving an amount and I thought it was because they stopped lying to us about actually getting the top amount in these things.

there's a needlepoint pillow in the marketing team's office that reads "Why put off 'till tomorrow what you can do today?"

At this point I don't even care anymore.
Gold is just a string of numbers that have absolutely no meaning to me.

Why do they think it's a good idea to do things we say we don't like?

our posts say we don't like it but our purchases say we do. obviously people are still buying gold gens or they wouldn't keep selling them.

Well, people who even considered gold generators are desperate for gold themselves, that's why they caved and bought them in the first place, right?

I agree that gold sinks are to justify the sales of gold gens. Gold sink "events" are probably going to be a stable part of the site now.

this makes me wonder how many people are buying them despite knowing their impact and won't admit to it
