Eh, I think the Mint Ticket is a bit tacky
sweatdrop . Maybe it's because I've never been invested into the plot of Gaia and don't have a crush on fictional characters. I mean, it just seems kind of silly to me. Some unknown staff member behind a staff NPC mule responding to questions with how they think the NPC would react? Behind the name it's just someone who works at Gaia anyways, likely one of the admins or artists that we already know.
I feel like what Gaia is offering is analogous to having someone dress up as Santa Claus and getting pictures taken with them. At the end of the day, it's just some random person as a fictional character whose lap you're sitting on.
Since the start of Gaia everything has been the staff members interpretation of the characters.
From the Trial of Ian to the Tower killing the Von Helson twins to Gambinos madness.
And I see a lot of teens in the mall sitting on Santa's lap.
Many people already know it's staff behind it, next thing you will tell us is that the Tooth fairy don't exist.
