I have directed at least one upper level staff to your thread, but unfortunately the mentality right now is that if Gaians continue to spend as much as they currently are, they really have no reason to change their practices. As is the case with most business models when they think they find something that is successful. If people want change, they will have to speak with their wallets as well. I'm afraid most of the complaints are going to just fall on deaf ears if the current business model continues to be this much of a success.

Exactly. Gaia only hears wallets now.
Words are just nothings at this point.

Doesn't hurt to try.
Lying down and taking the beating only makes it worse. =/

You can sign me up , I mean really 500$ for gaia items , gosh with that i could get another laptop or an Oculus Rift (which i really want and would rather have then some virtual item)
i refuse to spend a single cent more until things change for the good.

I don't even watch the little ad's to earn gc , for one it won't let me until I disable what they assume is ad block but really is just a add-on that makes sure no companies can follow me nor get my info to sell off

i figured when i signed my opinion wouldn't matter. that's the unfortunate truth. that's the sad truth with any business. but i stand by what i said, and my signature. but the assistant is technically right.

Right for now.
There's always the possibility we could come to some agreement.

If everyone just gave up, nothing would change.
I care about Gaia too much to give up on it now.
It may just be a website, but it was all I had at some points of my life.

I only mean that to get anything across to Gaia right now
people have to back their words of protest with action
by not buying. It's the only way now. Otherwise
all our griping is probably for nought.

Yeah, what we really need is a way to convince all the little rich kids that this is bad for their business too. xD

Are they looking at cash spent overall?
Or are they focusing mostly on the cash spent on these chance items like Flynn's Booty?
I'm rather curious to know.
Honestly, I don't mind a few luxary items like REIs/EIs or MCs to spend GC on.
I don't mind RIGs all that much as long as they're not out like once a month.
(This is why I've not signed if you've been wondering. I agree with the cause, but would feel like a hypocrite if I signed)
Obviously we can't take on everything at once. However we can move to tackle one small thing at a time.

Well if we can't get the word out here, we'll just spread it to others else where. Right?
We'll just have to convince people to stop buying these gold generating items.

If Gaia could just go back even one year in time, I'd be content.
It's just these past couple months that they have gotten out of control with the items and the games. It needs to stop.

Let me know if you change your mind about signing.
We're not saying get rid of GC all together, just get it under control.

Since Gaia says we're not allowed to have our "petition" here and they want to hide our numbers in the Petition forum, I have moved the list here. Please still let me know if you'd like to sign!

There's no reason that list of names couldn't have stayed with this thread. The thread's main topic is site feedback that also included a list of supporters. Lots of threads contain aspects/comments/ideas that could belong in other forums. For instance there are threads in GCG that include site feedback. They don't force those people to cut part of their thread out and move it to SF and link to it. That's just absurd.

The real reason they forced you to move the list is obviously because the list is embarrassing for them. The longer the list got, the more embarrassing it became. So they had to invent a cowardly excuse to get it out of the public eye and into a forum that's less likely to get a lot of viewers.

You can add me to the list that Gaia doesn't want people to see.

They didn't even let the economy come remotely close to bouncing back when they decided to pull this again.
They're trying to fill their pockets way too fast. The economy is bananas.

I just don't even see the point of questing anymore, and items and dressing up are two of the biggest things this site is about.
