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.
