Platinum Currency FAQ

[PizzaNyah]

I posted this in another topic earlier:
I also disagree with the 10 000 000 Gaia Gold minimum price. Gaia Gold users
should be able to price items like before (1 Gaia Gold, 2 Gaia Gold, 122 Gaia Gold,
9999 Gaia Gold etc.). What they did is to force everyone into using the Gaia Platinum
currency system, but me and many others prefers the Gaia Gold system where we could
price our items freely and much lower than 10 000 000 Gaia Gold as the minimum price.

Hopefully they will change it back to what it was before this "update". I try to sell
1 Gaia Gold items, but since the minimum price is 10 000 000 Gaia Gold, no one has
bought any of them. The items have been in the Marketplace for many days now, and
they usually would be bought within minutes and hours. Hopefully they will remove the
10 000 000 Gaia Gold minimum price.

i was skeptical about this at first, but after a lot of thought and using it for a while, I see what a good idea it really is.

This is simply a step, for now, but it's a step nonetheless.

First of all: EVERYTHING in the gold/plat shops now defaults to 10,000,000 when using platinum. Instead of paying a measly 100g to change your skintone, it's now 10mil. buying alchemy formulas is bulk is now far more expensive, as is fishing bait, and pretty much anything else in the g/p shops.

This MASSIVELY increases their worth as gold sinks. FAR more gold will be removed from the system with each purchase.

Awesome. Hopefully sometime in the future, all of the active users will have switched over voluntarily, so it can be implemented permanently, for everyone.

ONE issue I have is that mythril coins no longer show up in the shop. I do a lot of random charity gifting and find them to be much more convenient than sending trades and having to wait for them to be accepted.

I like the idea of taking digits away, I hate the re-balancing of currency rewards for features. Instead of things like Lake Kindred getting nerfed, I think other features should simply pay out more to reflect the economy so that people can actually work to afford things rather than every feature being completely broken and worthless.

This should be on the front page.

What about using the exchange forums, surely you can dictate what price you want. Just put a link from your store to your threads.

Hi, thanks for your suggestion, but it takes much longer to sell items that way.
I only sell my items on the Marketplace, because it's easy and fast both for
the seller and the buyer. Also, using the exchange forums doesn't help solve
the 10 000 000 Gaia Gold minimum price problem. I just want to sell my 1 Gaia Gold
items for 1 Gaia Gold in the Marketplace, they're not worth 10 million Gaia Gold.

Please update Lake Kindred Platinum Rewards. It's unfair that I can earn 1-2 bill rewards in gold by killing Sycamorte trees, but can't receive an equal amount in platinum. By theory, I should be earning 100-200 rewards in platinum, but only receive 20-40 platinum from killing trees. It is a severely imbalanced reward system.

Agree. If 10 mill equates to 1 plat... then Lake Kindred is completely imbalanced. For LK, it's more like 100 mil per 1 plat. It's the only game I like going to in this place and now I might just never come back to Gaia. They just like to ruin everything, even things that aren't broken.

[Complicated Blue]

What's up with you guys? You develop things, hype them so much, and then ruin and abandon them. Are you planning on doing the same to LK? So now you guys are nerfing it so badly.

Have not been here in 5 year and now have 1,600,000,000 worth of stuff mrgreen

[saijo takato]

Everything that was being sold in the Market Place for less than 10 million before, has become impossible to sell now. I haven't sold anything for days. Obviously people don't want to buy because they're overpriced... but I don't want to just discard those items. It's not fair. xp

Still don't understand this

I know 10,000,000 = 1 coin now...I think
But still don't understand this. Does that mean the coins I have now change or what? Im sorry I just don't understand this. It's really confusing

Just want to sell my items for 1 coin lol

10,000,000 GOLD = 1 PLATINUM.

What currency are you using? Gold or Platinum?

The LEAST amount you can sell items for is 10,000,000 gold OR 1 platinum (which is the exact same thing)
