Hi Kaleadra here 3nodding long time member, My questionis what are your guys plan of attack for advertising gaia to obtain new blood and keep it thriving?
suggestions setting up a youtube channel working on a good version or gogaia inthe app storeswhee
Items
Q: I see an item i want rarely, and the items that come with it in like 7 poses, it always lacks 1 or 2 items that doesn't come with the item, and doesn't show up in tags, is there any new updates to items in the future that could give Gaians that same Model Example look? :O
For instance my avatar is Trailing Stars if it showed the smile to pick from like some clothing stores that gives you recommendations for items like what would go good with this item, that would be cool, and the eyes that come with the avatar being displayed in the announcement, to have these items fully equipped would be awesome biggrin .
Once the wish list beta has been completed or finalized, can our user inventory adapt its UI with it retaining its other features, like item stacking option, item favorites (with a different keybind), etc? The current user inventory UI takes some time to load especially for bigger inventories.
Wishlist beta just felt easier to navigate and arrange overall, hence, why big inventory owners like me might appreciate an inventory update similar to the fast loading times of wish list beta! I specifically like the ability to select (with ctrl+ shift + click), drag, and drop several wish list items all at once to the temporary inventory and save them instantly without lag time.
I wish we could also have that for our inventory. It would save us a hassle to organize. Thank you!!
Is there a feedback thread planned for the new text editor? I've run across several bugs while using it and as someone that's had several feedback threads locked and deleted with no reason provided, I'm disinclined to make my own.
*The ability to block/ignore a marketplace store to return, please. Possibly separate from the regular ignore list.
Why you should add the ability for Gaians to do this:
*groups of users are being bullied
Gaians bully and harass inflators in hopes to make their behavior with their marketplace listings change, mostly because it is their only option (besides ignoring the problem). This has only made inflators double down on the behavior.
*Gaians have little control
Another option that could be available to fix this is Gaians making and sharing lists of the usernames of inflators and petitioning other Gaians not to interact with their stores. Since namedropping is against TOS, and there is no way to block stores, many Gaians feel their only alternative is to force inflators out of the community/bully them to change. Ignoring a store could create a passive way for Gaians to express themselves.
In summary: this is a huge problem I've noticed. Users are unhappy with certain stores. Users are being bullied about how they run their stores. This entire situation may resolve or become more peaceful with the addition of the ability to block/ignore marketplace stores again.
My personal feelings: it hurts my heart to hear about the harassment, but I can hardly blame other users when it feels like the only thing they can try to do to make things change. At this point, no one is backing down and the escalation feels really bad. I feel like this could be a really good solution if it's tried again
Please consider the things I've tried to bring to your attention, and if you have already considered this in the past, please reconsider. While stopping inflation seems to be the main concern, unfortunately that's not a feature I can ask for lol. Thanks for your time, for giving us a platform to share, and I hope to hear your thoughts.
EDIT: I took a poll, and most of those users agree there is a problem but that this might not be the solution. Even if my post just brings more light to the ongoing conflict with inflation, I'm happy with that.
I'll include some of the other users thoughts and ideas below:
Note: "..." means I did not collect the full quote
Quote:
They did allow blocking of buyers and sellers to be covered under the block feature. This was done within the past year or so. However, the usual suspects complained it ruined their ability to vend (buy low sell high) and gaia reversed it
Quote:
This is not a new problem. This has been going on since I joined in 2008 and got worse with the hyperinflation, and worse still when stores were expanded (whenever that happened) with extra slots for real money. The only real solution would be to hard-code limits on this and block buy/sell between alt accounts...
Quote:
It [store blocking] will never work, people will just use puppet accounts to get around blocks.
I think lanzer should just cap raising prices by 10%
Quote:
i mean i guess it would make some people feel better, but that doesn't stop the "offenders" on the MP from doing whatever, it doesn't stop the root of the contention. items will still get hoarded, inflated, etc... people will still be upset about it. i think it's one of those things you have to just deal with.
Quote:
It just doesnt help the longevity of the site to be inflating items. Less and less people are funding gaia as is because it just seems hopeless trying to combat the inflation while gaia just lets it happen. That being said, I hold no sympathy for people inflating and then not liking how that gets them treated.
Quote:
the petty side of me would personally would love to implement a blacklisting system and let them sit with the "market" they claim to love so much. but it won't solve anything - alts are too easy to make. idk what the solution is...
Quote:
i think gaia will only succeed in improving things if they have actual moderation...
Is staff aware the event is broken? Most of us cannot earn points. The event forum is full of threads about this and there is one thread in the bug forum. Please extend the event once it is fixed?
Features
Can you please remove soulbound atleast on equip items. I have a bunch of items I don’t want but can’t get rid of because Gaia won’t let me give away because I joined the Overseer Faction on a whim years back while I rooted SashaxGino before the half brother with Ian made it weird.
If not can you implant a soulbound on the items in the inventory? Like you have for the rings and potions.
I had to do like 3 small trades because I kept getting denied by an unknown equip item
PMs
Why are messages in PMs now suddenly smaller in text as opposed to their size on forums, as well as having a scroll bar on the right hand side of the quote box that does nothing for it?
Please fix this and put it back to how it was neutral
