Miss Vivian Rose
Hello. My name is Miss Vivian Rose, but you can all call me Vivian, or Viv for short. Anyways, "why am I here?" you ask. Well Ill tell you exactly why youve come to this petition! You would like to see the Luck Events and Items system change.
Now, when it comes to the luck events, I know that its one of the many ways that Gaia chooses to make its money. People see the announcement, think "oh, I have to try that," and run out to buy GC or the available item to use for the event. Yes, this part of the luck events system works. What does not work, though, is the items given out through out it. Now, they always come up with something rare, or re-dristribute something people have asked for (which is a good thing), but its usually the highest possible prize. Yes, again, that is a good part of the system. Now, on to what needs to be changed:
When you finally reach that enlightened stage at which you should receive said items that have been created, or re-distributed, specifically during and for the event, shouldnt you receive it? It shouldnt end up being another game of luck to know whether or not you are going to receive the really cool, new items, or a less valuable 'rare' item. For example, on the FAMESTAR 2000, they threw in items like 'login gold' and 'international gasmask' as grand prizes. Now, if you only have 1 in 50, or so, chance of getting to the 'grand prize' level, shouldnt you receive one of the new, or the much asked for re-distributed items, as the prize, instead of just some 'rare' item, which could actually be worth less than the loosing prizes?
Also, when they create the banners and announcements for the events, shouldnt they include the fact that, even though they have created new, or re-distributed items, that 'rare' items are also grand prizes? Yet again as an example, on the FAMESTAR 2000 banners and announcement, no where on it does it say, "Here's a few of the prizes being awarded at the grand prize level. It just shows pictures of the new items. There are no gasmasks, or 'login gold' on there, showing as potiental grand prize winnings. I happen to believe that, while the items should be hard to come by, they shouldnt be thrown in with items that are not of equal value to the believed price that Gaians would pay for said items. Cool, new items are always going to be high sellers, and the prizes that are placed amongst them should be worth a lot to the current market.
Now, enough of my ramblings. If you would like to sign my petition to change the awarding of luck event items, please sign by saying, "I, ___, sign this petition," or something of the similar. By just posting, you will not count towards the overall number of petitioners. Now. I ask you, will you join in my cause?

Okay, now I have time to rant about this.
If Gaia is going to make random chance items that are going to be THAT expensive then they should do at least a couple of the following:
1) Get rid of the crappy/regular "prizes". Why the hell should I pay $10 to get 6 cruddy items I could buy with GOLD? Not to mention these chance items would gain much more appeal. And this isn't to say ALL regular items should be removed; just the worthless ones. Like, more expensive items should be in there rather than cheap crap.
2) Increase the chances of getting an "amazing" item. 10%? Can somebody say rip-off? Someone else has stated in another thread that statistically, you'd have to buy around 1000 Seeds to get an "amazing" item with the Seeds. If Gaia wants to leave the crappy items in there, at least lower the chances of getting s**t rubbed in your face and increase the chances of getting something worthwhile.
3) Now, with all these chance items Gaia's basically saying, "Remember kids, gambling is good for you!" I'd prefer it if we could eliminate these chance items altogether, being that Gaia is merely exploiting the incredibly low chance to earn more money. An alternative could be to sell the items that would be the prizes directly from the cash shop. Gaia would be earning more money in the long run, because the prizes would generally be worth either the same or more than the chance item itself, and more people would be likely to buy the single item rather than the chance of getting it.
Not to mention these chance items cause SEVERE INFLATION, which will turn new users away from the site in most cases.

Gladly signed.
I think the chance items should be thrown out entirely due to the whole gambling aspect. There's a reason casinos have age limits, and Gaia is by and large dominated by those under the age of 20. Oh but wait, it's not really gambling, you get a consolation prize no matter what?
Maybe casinos should try that ploy, hand out a pebble with every failed roll and allow minors in. Let's see how long it takes for the government to shut them down. >.>
Also notice that the prettiest, most appealing items are always incredibly rare? The vast majority of the Gaian population can't afford to get even one of them, they're simply too costly.

I, Abstract S t a r, sign this here Petition on the grounds that...
The luck system is full of bull. =/
Those Eggs that could give you a lot of gold?! =O AND STILL GIVE YOU A PRIZE IF YOU DON'T MAKE IT?! Yeah, total crap. Repo Lamp? Total crap. Emerald Seed? Total crap.
The most recent one that has driven me banana sandwich has been the Suspicious Package. Oh, if you buy this you MIGHT get Chill of Artemis, some random a** item that starts off as already being worth over 1,000k, or Warmth of Apollo. I bought it, once, and I got Stone Guardian Mask thing. e.e I could've bought that, but I wasted my Gaia Cash on it.
My friend chanced the Emerald Seed and she got a hairpin that's worth below 10k. That's just total bull crap. Evolving items are also a bit of chance. Here, buy this, and see if it completely fails or not! 8D I can tolerate them a lot more than the chance items though. I don't even try them anymore, and I bet that if everyone on Gaia came together and completely decided to not even buy any chance items, Gaia might realize that it's a complete waste of time and do things the better way, considering if you put awesome items in the cash shop, they will get a lot more money, rather than what they get now, and knowing that they have dissatisfied people. It just makes me think of Gaia that's another dumb company that doesn't care unless they get paid one way or another.
Gaia used to be fun. Now I go into the Towns and see people going around, calling others 'noobs/nubs' just because they aren't busy spending all of their money on buying expensive items for a virtual avatar online. It's pathetic. People spend all of their time trying to achieve items that they will never be able to gain because they cost so much, and it's not because of the users. Gaia makes the items cost so much. They set the average price for it, making dream avatars exactly what they are; a dream.
God Bless Miss Vivian for making this Petition.
I completely support this.
Alright, rambling over.
