What items do you Purchase from the Cash store?

Gold Generators


Where do you get your Gold from?

Cash Shop


Both answers dead last.


What are you most concerned about?

Gold Economy

40% of total
2 and a half times over the second most popular answer.


You've asked for feedback.
We've given it.
Now take the advice.

Ditch the gold generators completely.
If the user survey is anything to go by, everything in the cash shop is a better money spinner, and will benefit the economy, and overall happiness of every Gaian on here.

I'm dying to see the fishing update. heart

In addition to an avatar builder, I think the marketplace needs an item tag overhaul. More relevant tags, fixing tag typos, make it easier to find various colors of items.

I concur. Some items don't even have their name as
a tag, and it's hard to find them.

Goddess Trinity

Let's see how many of these features are Cash only

Every time they try to do that, there is severe backlash. If it's just
little perks, like it was for say, zOMG or for Switch'Em, that's fine.

Vigilia

o wo
does this mean that there's a possibility... that after these priorities... that guilds might get updated?!?

; w; like, seriously. I wish it would at least be able to be up to date in the post formatting like the forums are. It's frustrating when a format that works in forums breaks in the guilds.

I feel your pain. I was setting up an event layout for our annual Easter
Event, and it was all "Thou shall not see my final form!" in the guilds emotion_facepalm
It's also why we don't use the guild as much as we would like to.❀

I'm super excited! Can't wait for the avatar simulator! Not much of a chat person.
I hope those chats are monitored in case of anything disgusting that violates the ToS like they would do in towns.
Just sayin' but other than that great job Gaia!

[NicoRose]

Please fix the issue with the Apple iOS mobile app crashing instantly upon opening I hate not being able to use it anymore and was much more active on forums when it worked.

* An update to Fishing-- new fish, new fishing holes, new gear, and more!!

nice! fishy time~ pirate

Let's hope this gets to be a rare fish

[Hypocoristical]

Oh my Lards, you made this old woman smile,
seeing there will be fishing updates.

Thank you, thank you. In the "Dark" points in my personal Gaian experience,
Fishing is the one stand-buy I stuck around for.

I also chortled at the amount of people whom buy GC.
70% of those whom took the survey, and that's not even the community as a whole.
Just a snippet, based on the provided numbers who participated.
I'm sure I'll get flack for that but, oh well. lol

[Vannequin]

Now that we know purple isn't as unpopular as some might think, I hope this means we'll be seeing more of it. emotion_kirakira

Shades I'd like to see more of:

[CraftyRani]

I was expecting the results!! I'm really looking forward to the avatar builder~
It's sad that so little gaians took the survey...most of them actually use GC, so it just seems that the ones that don't don't really care about Gaia...I thought it was pretty even...

YES thank you! I'm glad someone said it.

I'm really disappointed nothing was mentioned about the severe flow of GCS items either.
There were plenty of people concerned about the gold economy but there were a significant amount of people who didn't want the gold generators to go away.

The economy won't get better if they keep flooding the market with a million different recolors or new items a week
and sure it'll upset some people to get rid of gold generators but in the long run I think it would be better to just get rid of them completely.

Yeah, I was mostly pleasantly surprised by the results, I think...
But a little disappointed that the *new shiny* pet system beat out basic and sorely-lacking updates to guilds. emotion_sweatdrop
*shrug*
..Can't win 'em all.

[Also a little surprised by the (un)favoured colours... But w/e. xD Preferences.]

But seriously, give guilds some love, would you?
Basic functionality updates/fixes are long overdue for guilds...

Even though I am not dissatisfied by the results I do second this.

A lot of people have become severely bored here because of the
lack of zOMG!, so that's why it has probably gotten the huge "Yes, please!"
response.
Either way, Guilds is hard to use as-is for a lot of things.

I was surprised so many people are interested in fantasy-themed avatars.

[Noble Link]

Gaia, you've disappointed me before, as a user who's on here almost everyday , but now, you're going in great directions to make changes. All of the updates you're working on are really exciting and I look forward to them. I'm sure it'll be fun for old and new members alike. Thanks!
