Flynn's Booty - Keep Protesting!

Even though the graphs represent the total exchanges over the marketplace for their respective days, those graphs are still relatively proportional to the amount of gold spent on other items as well. Jumps those big aren't going to just be explained by people selling Flynn's Booty or Flynn's Chest multiple times on the marketplace. Not to mention, a lot of people probably wouldn't even sell theirs on the marketplace if they bought it, and just open it consider the insane odds of getting over 7m.

So really, I'd love if some response was given that wasn't facetiously ignorant to the obvious.

All the individual graphs are price graphs on individual items independent of the prices of other items, so it all paints a damning picture of the inflation.

That's also a good point to mention. I don't know how Gaia clearly doesn't see this, but for a ton of items, the increase in prices of those individual items are generally proportional to the overall increase in exchanged gold through the marketplace. Prices tended to have doubled for a lot of items after the first Flynn's Booty release, and so did marketplace gold exchanges. It's not rocket science and doesn't take any trained economist to realize the effects this has had are not necessary "little negative effect". Unless by their case a 100% increase in prices and the value of gold after the first Flynn's Booty release can be considered "little" :/.

I just wish there was less obliviousness. It seems like a lot of the staff responses I've read regarding the inflation are dumbfound and ignorant to the reality of the extent of the Gaia economy changes over the last month.

I just had the thought to check my account worth (according to TekTek which calculates per AMP)...
Before Flynn's Booty, my account worth was about 60m and had been between 50-60m for like a year now.
Now it has skyrocketed to 108m. The only thing of much worth I believe I bought (and kept, I gifted one item) since Flynn's Booty was Emerald Dream for 1m.
So my account worth has nearly doubled WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING.

You too devil tail! 40m increase.

How about my two cents. Usually my acc worth is around 90mill, well with the given inflation its now floating around 150 mill.... emotion_dowant

I think Gaia confused the concept of gold sinks.

It should be

"To prevent regular inflation we are adding a gold sink"

and not

"We're planning a gold sink, so let's do some inflation first"

What's this Flynn's Chest you're talking about? All I see in the Cash Shop is Flynn's Booty.

Flynn's Chest is a Club Verge exclusive guaranteed to give out 1mil in gold.

I'm currently questing Superior Form. It was ~60k prior to FB and it's now rested at ~120k. The flash sale for Friday XIII actually tripled the MP cost that it once was. This is so unfair to people that quest. It feels like it's not even worth it anymore. Between broken and outdated features and gold losing its value, why even stick around anymore?

It's Verge-only. You pay more cash and get more gold.

Ah, so it was a Club Verge item? No wonder XD

[Kuroyuki Aihara]

I have never used ANY GC.All of my gold are earned through vending and now even that is impossible unless you've got more than a mil.Flyflation killed my interest in vending at the same time,killed my interest in the site.Imma run away to other BETTER sites =_=

Did it occur to anyone that Gaia Inc has the complete item database (including prices over time which are charted in the marketplace) in the first place, so asking us to firstly get that unobtainable data and then analyse it for them when they've already claimed they have people who can do that inside the company in the first place is really really retarded.

If he wants to get me actual time series data I'm sure many of us would be happy to explain the graph for him. Since, you know, he has just basically openly stated that Gaia's "economists" are useless (let's just let him have it easy and pretend that they do really have such a thing lol).

[Lutheron]

Go look at the prices of big ticket items like Mad Hatter and Devil's Spice, lolol
