Don't be cryptic. I think it's important to gather information about this if there was indeed a glitch. If you know anything, share it.

I'm hearing that there was a glitch in the gold gens yesterday which allowed people to recieve trillions in gold. This would explain the huge spike in the MP and all the item listings getting bought out/ABPs going up.



Does anyone know more about the situation? I don't have any confidence in Gaia clearing things up or making any sort of announcement about it.

This is not a case of gold generators. We just finished investigating this and found it was a result of one particular user purchasing a Double Rainbow Ticket for 300 trillion gold. The Marketplace graph is not necessarily a representation of how much gold is in the economy or being generated by gold generators. It tracks how much gold has moved through the Marketplace only. Lots of things can make the graph rise or fall. For example, if we had a bunch of older users with lots of gold come back to the site and purchase a lot of things on the Marketplace, it can rise. If we had a bunch of users sell incredibly high priced items, it can rise. On the flip side, if people decided to stop using the Marketplace, it will fall. In this case, a user had enough gold to conduct a large transaction like this and spike the graph. I predict it will dramatically fall back to normally levels tomorrow if MP spending remains normal.

Also, before there are concerns about hacked/exploited gold, we investigated the user in question and found that all the gold was clean. It was a legitimate transaction, albeit abnormal.

wasn't 300trill , was 133.337trill

You're kidding, right? Not all of us are going to suck down spins like this.

How can you say that this doesn't involve Gold Gens? This is THE DIRECT RESULT of selling those damn things.




Users were never supposed to have that much gold in the first place. Remember that 2.whatever bil cap that was raised because people were getting too much gold? Yeah, that. Prices wouldn't be this high in the first place if Gaia didn't sell them, so please don't bullshit your members, thanks.

You're making it hard for me to believe that there isn't more going on with this crap since you came around on a Saturday. neutral

Its not the gold gens guys, there were a couple really big purchases on the Marketplace yesterday- a double rainbow ticket, rainbow tickets and several angelic halos. The Marketplace graph doesn't track how much gold is in Gaia, it just tracks what's trading hands.

Yeah, this is a totally normal purchase.

Tickets and halos are never normal purchases, they're always super expensive and create a spike in the market when they're sold.

Well, it looks like you made the ridiculous purchase on that Double Rainbow Ticket, so that you're in here obfuscating is suspect.

Long story short there was a large purchase through the marketplace and the gold was clean it was not a result of gold gens.

I don't get why this is a topic. The admin lead said they investigated it, they said it was legit, and the user bought what they wanted and the item that was bought is one that only 2 are known in public existence.

Agreed.

This doesn't sound right. If I didn't know any better I would think that this person and Zero Omega were hiding something. confused

Lots of things can make the graph rise or fall. For example, if we had a bunch of older users with lots of gold come back to the site and purchase a lot of things on the Marketplace, it can rise.

Older users' "lots of gold" wouldn't amount to much today, unfortunately.
When people who left, thinking they have a cushion of gold, return,
they check out the marketplace and have this reaction:



(Minus the sheep part, of course.)

Of course it was, ultimately, because that's where most of the gold originated from at some point.
