I don't have access to Verge but I noticed a Verge item is no longer listing it's price in Marketplace ( you know that info on where it's sold and how much) so I wonder if it's been removed and a new item will come tonight (I don't know what's normal with Verge).


What are you hoping gets Recolored and sent to Club Verge?

Hipster Love was like 800k when I was complaining last night. Now it's 2.6m crying
These prices are insane.

Glad I ended up buying mine last night.

These prices are insane. Is the supply limited or is someone manipulating the MP? I was looking up something else and discovered that NSFW was 200m. Same with the D-tail and Flatline Love.

Thank god I'm not the only one noticing. Some funny business is definitely going on.
I've been watching some items, mostly items released from the Cash Shop and they're being inflated at least 3x they were mere days ago.

It might be backlash from Candy Hearts. A lot of folks are addicted to opening those (just look in the CB), most of them opting for the gold option because the items are rapidly deflating.

That makes some sense. CB does love their RIGs. And for some reason I thought people liked the item option better than the gold but as you said certain items are deflating quickly. I wonder if this the vendors trying to get some balance into it.

Unless you have good luck, you're more likely to break even picking gold every time. In my half and half run of a bundle I got gold payouts ranging from 3mil-8mil, with 4.5mil being average. Meanwhile all the items I won were barely 1mil, the pink mini angel wings being the one most valuable thing I won. (Don't worry, I spent all that gold on Philosopher Caches from the shops)

It's sort of a toxic mindset. To the person opening those Hearts, they may see it as them just earning an extra 5mil from buying a bundle off the MP, but in reality they just introduced much more gold into the system contributing to inflation. People need to be more smart of where their gold is coming from and how they spend it.

I have been stalking My Sweetheart for days on end now and that freaking thing shows up at 90m. Now it is gone...why are the rig drop rates so horrid this time around @_@

I maintain my theory that the drop rate is the same as usual, and the problem is that not enough people are opening RIGs anymore. Who's going to bother spending real money on a RIG that will drop God knows what when they can just wait for the individual items to show up in the CS? Even people who buy RIGs with gold (like me) probably aren't taking the risk because the price is so high. It simply isn't worth it anymore.

In addition to that, I bet a small group of people is buying up every Flatline, Sweetheart, etc. and inflating the crap out of it, because there are so few of them. I was going to buy both but I'm not even going to bother to look them up anymore.

Gaia is no fun anymore. This site is overrun by greed from both ends -- the site itself is greedy, and the users are greedy. All my friends are long gone and I'm the only one left from our group still holding on in hopes that things will change, but every day I feel less and less compelled to log on.

I've been here since 2003. This site was my home -- it was there for me when I wanted to kill myself, it was there for me when everything went catastrophically wrong and I lost everything (job, boyfriend, etc) and more recently, it was there for me when I lost a loved one, and it was so important to her, to us, that she made me promise I would quest a Halo to honor her memory, a promise I am now unable to keep because the items I worked so hard for, which I had bought as an investment because Gaia had been saying for years that they would never be re-released, have been re-released time and time again and are now virtually worthless. Even the pure that I had accumulated is now just pocket change. Even after that happened, I stayed, because I didn't want to leave, I didn't want it to be over, I thought if I stayed here long enough, that things would get better.

Things aren't going to get better. I'm just sitting here asking myself why I even log on anymore. Everything I loved about Gaia is dead or dying.

Oh no doubt about it. This has "hoarder" written all over it. It's up to the rest of us to not buy the items until they lower the prices and send them a message that this is not acceptable. Everything will get re-released; they don't have the option of just sitting on it, the risk is too high. They'll have to lower their prices sooner or later.
