people with jobs or other steady sources of income: the masters of the gaian economy
people without jobs or steady sources of economy: underdogs
and yep. moments of weakness are preyed upon by the villains of online social media things with avatar systems like gaia has

indeed so
one big example, as mister monster guy pointed out, is the angelic scarf. it's 7 bil nowadays. it used to be nigh impossible to obtain. now? just buy a gold gen and you can buy fifteen of 'em

well, when it's put to the point of "one less coffee" then it's not much. for those who have the source of income to do it. and yeah, they definitely do capitalize on those moments of weakness
eh, it only had like... one or two poses i liked, and i hadn't used it in forever forever
aha, i know how that is. some of the things i got for 1m back when that was a lot are only a few hundred million which is nothing anymore with this broken economy

this site has gone full cash overdrive and the temptation is real for all users. at LEAST three ANNOUNCEMENTS a day about coupons and cash shop stuff, seems to be a new friggin gold gen every friggin day, and all the free item tier things

economy? what economy? there's no economy, only limitless gold that only the people who pay irl money can afford to have

Dangit, Gaia, why are you so money-centric now? Whatever happened to the good old days, when your goal was to make a fun website?

in other news, seems the current event is a MASSIVE gold sink. i was really proud of gaia for a minute, then they push out YET ANOTHER MASSIVE NUMBERS GOLD GENERATOR. GAIA. NO. STOP WITH THE GOLD GENERATORS. THERE IS ENOUGH GOLD IN CIRCULATION. CEASE

from what i'm seeing, some of the items that were in the low millions before the economy went to hell are around 100-800 million, and things that were upwards to 10 mil or someodd are in the ten billions or higher. so 7000% is an approximate middleground of how much things have increased, i think? idk

wow, that sounds confusing and annoying for anyone that doesn't know where to go to get them. it makes more sense for them to be in a store, but yeah, still cool for it to be like that

that definitely wouldn't surprise me. with how the market is and how the economy is, i'd be surprised if many people DO remember you can just buy 'em from the shop

wow, even the tickets weren't spared from the hyperinflation. then again when tokens sell for 7,000 on the market and still sell for 1 in the stores, i shouldn't be surprised by that.

i won like, three tournaments with pretty much no effort because nobody played them. and it wasn't fun at all. i didn't even read the rules of the tournaments i just played the games like they were supposed to be played and just... blegh.

they should indeed make items and achievements exclusive to the old games. that'd give 'em more traffic and more reason to be played

yeahhh... i tried it earlier and the exact same thing happened. they need to pull that line of code out already, let people play the game and get gold rewards like they should. and the same goes for those games that have tournaments. make them have non-tournament modes. the tournaments suck the fun out of it

it's not just you, for sure. and not having a goal definitely makes gathering gold difficult

i don't know why anyone would think that was a good idea, either. and hopefully the next event is better than those ones were

wow. those events are just plain horrible, then. all events should have the same chance for all players to get items, and if they're gonna have a "quote and get quoted by NPC" system, it has to be RNG based with x per minute out of y notifications or something. having actual people do it for one piece is horrible; at LEAST give the whole set if they're gonna do it like that

deflation probably won't happen for a long while, since all that gold's out there. they'll need some serious gold sinks before deflation begins in earnest. but yeah, i agree on those points either way

i haven't been around at all in ages so i don't know what the last events' ve been like

according to nanzzy, that CEO got kicked and there's a new one that's working on making the site better again. dunno the validity of that statement though. hopefully it's true

i noticed that tektek was shut down, but i didn't know gaia managed it. i also heard that gaia's working on their own in-site tektek when i went looking for what happened to it. don't know how valid that is, either
