My quest for someone rich to give me Angelic Mini Wings
Yes, you read that right, I want someone to give me a pair of angelic mini wings, those that are around 10 150 million, those that so many are pining for. Well I'm pining too and here are my reasons for this ridiculous request.
1. I could never afford them. I've quested, I know what I can earn in a month and I know how much more expensive they get each month. I know how much I could donate to Gaia. I know I am terrible at the exchange (I frequently overpay the items I buy, e.g. the chain wallet I quested for, for my sister, I overpaid by a good 60k x.x). I'm not a brilliant artist. I could never afford them, it is simple as that. I don't expect to gain them in any way, so I lose nothing with this thread.
2. It's amusing, don't you think? ^.^
3. I don't want nice, poor Gaians donating me money. It makes no sense. They are on quests of their own. I frequently donate to other people. So it's like I'm taking from you and then I give it back to you (it's not the same person, but it's virtually the same). I can't donate properly if poor people donate to me. I don't want that. I want someone who has achieved their dreams and quests (except maybe the one for a halo or something) to give to me.
4. If you beg, do it with style.
5. Quest threads can get ridiculous, with people going for things they could never afford even with a bunch of nice Gaians donating (thus literally wasting the gold of said nice Gaians) or, the other extreme, asking donations for something they could easily save up for.
6. Because I'd like to meet someone on Gaia who has, in fact, finished all their quests. In my experience people always want more. Also, Gaia is constantly coming out with interesting new stuff, which makes the scenario even more unlikely.
7. As a social experiment.
8. If, ever, someone is crazy enough to give me the mini's I vow to donate between 1000 and 10000 2000 and 20000 5000 and 25000 gold each month as long as I'm on Gaia ^.^ In fact I'll start donating from this month, just because biggrin I doubt I'll ever be leaving Gaia but if I should I would give said mini's away for free. Along with everything else I own. (N.B. With inflation, I've increased the amounts I donate in order to keep them meaningful).
There you have it. Are you filthy rich? Are you feeling whimsical? Did I make you laugh? Do you have nothing better to do? Can you make millions in the exchange in a week? Then you are the person I'm looking for, just send that trade and off we go biggrin
