Guys, if anyone wanted to go to ATA. It's time.
http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/gaia-community-discussion/ask-the-admin-09-30-2013/t.88231095/

Thanks. I almost forgot.
I went and posted a list of questions and all our suggestions so far.

MP tax. The tax takes the gold completely out of the system.

The tax is only 2%.
You know how much that is out of an item that sells for 2 mil? 40k.

Not much of a gold sink if you ask me.

With the AtA tonight, I hope to see our questions addressed and the voices reaching out in this thread heard by the staff...or at least seeing someone posting about this boycott of GC so the admins will take notice. :I

I went and made a pitch. Did you post too?

I've never had trouble geting GC from the daily things and watching the video adds and stuff... I don't really see what the problem is. I have never had money in rl to buy it, I just save up gold if I don't have enough GC. I've been on Gaia since 2004... I think the system is fine how it is.

So you have zero problems with the inflation?
Or with the amount of GC they're starting to charge for some items?

Your thinking about just one item. You have to consider the TOTAL amount of items being sold and their respective prices. Plus, do you see everyone playing gold sink games? The MP, which is used by the grand majority of people, is far more active than any other gold sinks.

Look at the the MP revenue. The highest this month. ABOUT 29500 MILLION gold on the 26th. Might be a result in the rise of prices, but still, that's a lot of gold. Even on the lowest day, the 9th, it's still about 5000 Million gold. Averaging the gold all the way until the spike present in the chart from the 11th to the 24th, that's about 10000 Mil gold a day, for 14 days, and thus: 140000 Million gold.

Yeah, but that's thousands of people contributing to one number.
And it still is only 2% of what all was transferred. Sooooo much more than that is still running around.

Even with your theory, though, it's the only gold sink we really have right now, other than gold shops, but those aren't that great because Gaia saves all the good stuff for the Cash Shop.

I give you that. Plus, I forgot to mention that Flynn's Booty almost negates any effect the MP and other smaller gold sinks are having.

Kenny mentioned that any negative effect it would have on the Gaia Economy would be minimal if even existent and would be put down almost immediately after the RIG is gone. I would like to see them do just that. Good luck with doing that, Gaia. Doubt you can do it.

I would absolutely LOVE to see that.
I was a bit skeptical when I heard that after the first release of Flynn's junk, but now... crying

Maybe they should TEMPORARILY increase the MP tax?
I've been trying to think of things I could suggest to fix it, but I don't even know where to start taming that monster. Haha.

Flynn's junk

Is that the next item to be released? Or would that be Flynn's Junk in the Trunk?

Sorry, I'm gonna have to say no; only because this is JUST a website.
It's just a game targeted for little 13-17 year olds who generally don't know what a market is or how it runs. It's here to make money and that's how the world runs.

It's in my opinion that being fed up over pixels and virtual money is real silly to me, there's so much more to life then whining about losing 2 million+ gold because of some inflated item due to some rad event that gives gold-poor people a chance in luxury. I don't keep track of what gold I lost, it's not a priority to me: I'm in college now and encasing yourself so deeply into a websites' pixelated issues doesn't compare to real life issues. I mean wow, 1st world problems.
Though, I do have to say, losing a SIGNIFICANT amount of REAL money due to previous GC spending on items you sold in the past that are now worth much more is pretty lame and I'm sorry for that.

Good luck trying to change Gaia's business strategies. They just don't care.

Another thing they should do - KEEP THE ORIGINAL TOWNS! TOWNS 2 SUCKS!! Bring back the old housing system! Towns 2 looks horrible, navigates horribly, and is a horrible idea to begin with. The art is terrible, the housing system for it makes no sense at all, and I know it makes MANY people lag very badly.
