Green items ( including forest, light green, or neon green ) don't sell well.
Now green variant items in teal or mint do sell well. Blame the userbase,
not Gaia. They are only doing what is profitable. If users put their money
where there mouth was, then the green items they plea for would sell well.
That's pretty dense to say. You talk as if the "userbase" is collectively a single entity - which they aren't. People have different interests on this site and green items have
enough merit to not be shoved under the rug. A good company would try to satisfy all different types of interests, not just their most popular. By your rule, Gaia should only sell pink, black, and purple items for the female base because those probably "sell well". Meanwhile, there is still a lot of untapped potential. That doesn't sound profitable to me.
Yeah no. Green items do not sell to warrant their creation. I say that because we don't
get many green items. If they sold well then we would get more. Gaia knows how to play
the color game when it comes to trends. You may call it dense, but I am simply making
an observation. Gaia will choose safe colors over unsafe colors every day of the week.
They want to make a profit. Artists need to make a profit. Artists don't last very long if
Gaia isn't making money ( as noticed by the huge artist layoffs we had last year ). Green
is not a safe color since when we do have items released in said color, they barely sell.
Items that barely sell aren't worth the artist's time and the company certainly doesn't want
to pay artists for items that aren't profitable for the company. Makes sense, right? Example,
let's take an independent clothing store ( one that makes and sell their own clothing without
the help of manufacturers ). Now let's say this clothing store is set up in an area in which
people don't wear clothes of a certain style or color. Would that clothing store sell those items?
Would that clothing store go out of its way to supply the store with clothing for maybe the
handful of it's shopping base that "might" spend money on said normally undesirable clothes?
They could if they weren't hoping to make a profit. However it is a stupid move to do so if
they are looking to make a profit. Users may say they want more items in certain colors, but
unless they spend money on said colored items when they do release ... then Gaia will be
forced to not release them in favor of items in colors that sell immensely better. Makes sense.
