Never invested in GC.

Ignoring it has worked out so far.

Shall I add you to the petition list then?

Nah, that's okay. Then it would mean me being against GC, which as a concept I can understand, even though I'd never buy it. However, it'd also mean I'd be reminded of it, which I can do without.

Hello everyone! I've made my distaste for what's going on known in the past but with the combination of the centered site and this ridiculous economy, I think it's time to raise hell.
ATA is coming up. I say let's make the issues known. To everyone. Let's raise hell in the politest of ways!
Protest in ATA!

When is the ATA? I don't get the notices.

If I remember correctly, ask the admins is once a week. Every monday night.
ATA happens tonight at around 8pm est
That should be about 5pm their time.

I just hope they will include some sort of alternative to earning the items and such for those who will not be able to afford to flush thousands or millions of gold into the sink. Like the newbs and such.

Yeah? I didn't even think about that.
As far as I know, you're going to have to pay for any of the items. =[

I think something that may have been a better idea than the Gold Sink events would be to start putting Dernier Cri to more use and maybe, instead of throwing out so many Cash items, stick some of them in there. People who can afford the gold will buy them from there.

Like those MC rereleases they did. That really got peoples' feathers ruffled. xD

I'd like more gold shop items period. And not stupid stuff that no one is ever going to use. They need to start putting more quality items in there.

We're not against GC. We're just refusing to buy in until Gaia gets its act together.

Hm... Maybe I'll do it.
Not sure where it is or how it works since I always miss them.

I never go to ATA, but I might just do that tonight... I'm hating the centered and most people were happy with it being just an option.
And this just backs my comparison in my first post here.

Watch out for the dev updates.
They announce it and provide a link every single time.

I'll even provide a link in this thread when it happens for users who don't know how to get there

Just saw this thread today but I haven't bought anything in the MP in over a week since I can't condone these high prices. I want to continue to support Gaia, but I can't support inflation.

What's sad is even the people who /had/ centered as an option now dislike it cause they converted it wrong.

Oh, well in that case...

Yeah, still keep me off. I've ignored GC for the longest time already.

Go fight the good fight.

If you dont want to spend real money on the site then dont? If people want to spend their money on useless virtual crap let em, why do you care? In the end Gaia DOES have to make money somehow or else guess what? No more Gaia.

That's true! Maybe better quality hairs too. Lately, all the new hairs have seemed a bit... gummy/pasty/blobby looking to me, which is a turn off. But all the hairs that come from cash items have nice detail and actually look how hair should look.

Because it affects the rest of us, or have you not seen the MP lately?

Gaia's been doing fine up until now. I believe all these sales and Flynn's body parts are all to try and get money for this sister site they want to launch.
But if they need to bleed their users' wallets dry to fund such a thing, maybe they shouldn't do it at all.

Exactly. There's MAYBE one hair I like in every batch they release.
Especially since people have to pay every time they want to change their hair, that's where they should be putting the high quality ones.

This inflation is really annoying. When they first took the booty chests off i was happy to let all the item settle back down in price and boy was i so wrong. I was annoyed how fast they threw another chest in to increase the inflation. I just don't understand why only club vergo is able to get them and no one else. Gaia is pushing to much crap out they can't keep up it with some of the basic things on gaia. They screw quite a big load of users when the ceo got replaced it's not even funny anymore. Right now there doing whatever it takes to gain money. I'm not against buying gaia cash but when you get screwed over after you put gaia cash on your account and then you lose it a month later just to see what club vergo was like and what that shop sold it was so not worth it!
