They're making it even worse with these "Limited Quantity" items. And they're coming out with them like every single day. People can buy them with GC and just turn around and try to sell them for a bil or 2. I've been on Gaia for 8 years, and this is the first time I've ever seen anything reach a BIL, and it's common now? Wtf... My one and only quest was always my ninja band. When I first started my quest, it was 6 mil (Which was a LOT), and then it gradually over the years reached about 9 mil (Which is what I was finally able to buy it at). It jumped to 18 mil and I thought that was INSANE. At the beginning of all the inflation, I bought a new one for 32 mil. And now it's worth 2.5 bil. I mean really? 18 mil to 32 mil to 2.5 BIL!??!?!
I feel like this is a mockery of all the hard work I went through to earn my first 9 mil. It took me six or seven YEARS - guys. Years. - to acquire it. The Gaia cash let's someone just give Gaia real money and skip over the years and years of hard work I had to go through. Trust me... My boyfriend did it. He gave me a couple mil towards my ninja band, but I mean seriously guys, it took me years to make my first mil.... I don't find it fair. Someone can come in right now, give Gaia 20 bucks and sell some random GC item for a bil. I am not happy about this. I've been so loyal to Gaia... For so many years, and I worked so hard for my ninja band... And it all feels like none of it ever even mattered. I'm not going to buy my riches. I worked hard. And I will continue to work hard. If I want to give REAL money to Gaia, I will do it by buying a real life plushie or something. Real for real, virtual for virtual.
Sorry about the rant. GC hurts my feelings -.-

I'm in. This inflation has lasted too long.

The deal with G-cash and inflation is seriously something that surprised me when I returned to this site. I joined way back when...oh geez...my account says 2009, but I had an account for at least two years before, but that one that got hacked. So I would say around 2007 is when I first joined. Gosh I remember some really valuable items like the angelic halo and such being one of the most expensive items, in the probably low millions. Those were the VERY HIGH priced items, in the millions. Good luck trying to get that, right? I remember getting into the hundreds of thousands of gold was a milestone for me.

After I graduated High School, I kind of took a break from here and only stopped by every now and then. Now I'm back, and it seems that the norm is for people to have a couple million gold, instead of thousands. Heck, I have 8,000,000g, somewhat by chance and I STILL can't afford to buy anything nice with how high prices are. And it only gets worse!

Gaia Cash offers and items are now being shoved down our throats every couple hours every day. Those, and very very few new gold items, let alone NICE gold items. Since not everybody can afford buying these in actual cash, they rely on gold in the marketplace to get these items. But the sellers themselves know that, and since they actually spent money on these items, of course they are going to sell it for a high amount. A ridiculously high amount, some in the billions. So then people are like, well it's too high to actually have a chance at buying it with gold, unless you're filthy rich. So the solutions to those are either 1. buy GC or 2. Give up or stop using Gaia all together.

It's absolutely ridiculous, and I hope Gaia realizes that soon.

I agree completely. I remember looking forward to the fifteenth of every month. Monthly collectibles were sacred, they were the only new items we got, most of the time! Other than occasional (And I mean OCCASIONAL) gold shop item updates. I can't keep up with new items anymore. And it's not like it would even matter if I did, they all cost a bil and even I, an 8 year loyal member, can't afford them because I'm totally not gonna sell out and buy it with real money.

Oh my gosh, yeah! I was so hyped about the monthly collectables, not to mention the cool artwork that accompanied it after a while! Even the Evolving Items weren't AS common then, but they were so cool when they were first introduced. Everything seems so overshadowed now by GCash items....I hardly even notice if they have MC's or EI's anymore :/
