Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

As all the Gaia Aquarium regulars are aware, the developers fixed the game so the glow timer doesn't work as well now. It's caused quite an uproar in the forum and among "tankies". It's also making me ill. Seriously.

The developer made a thread saying the timer does not work now. Some of the people in that thread really need to be warned by mods because you know what? Even if you don't like the decision, it doesn't give you the right to flame someone. I've heard so many negative responses to this such as:

-Gaia doesn't want us making gold~
-Gaia is trying to hide the fact they nerf fish omg conspiracy~
-Gaia tricked us
-Gaia broke booty grab
-Now I can't make gold off my tanks
-Let's boycott the cash shop!

Ridiculous.
I loved the timer, don't get me wrong. However, you have to admit that knowing to the SECOND when your tank would glow, how many fish would light up and whether or not they'd drop boxes was cheating the game. That's not the way they intended booty grab to be played. Sure, it's harder for me to get my mule tanks earning gold but you know what? We all got our tanks some exposure before the timer, it just took some WORK on our part and really, it's just posting in the forum. It's not like it's manual labor, people.

When I see people flipping out over this, I basically think they're saying "wah wah, I'm mad at Gaia because they won't let me cheat". I wish some of these more violently vocal people would realize how idiotic they look when they're flaming the staff and being general asshats in the forum.

We made gold.. a fair amount of it. We did it without the timer before and we can again. Chill out. Less bitching and more grabbing, please.

Thanks!
