Welcome to Gaia! ::

General Feedback/ranting below:

Gaia's just bandaging the problem they made instead of actually fixing it. They're the ones who gave users a taste of greed through earning a million gold within two-three days, using what you're telling me now (as user told me they can make 210K in 4 hours). Gaia decided to throw out gold to users for absolutely no work at all compared to how it was before those games were put in, not us. So now that users can make gold really quickly the ones who can go "Oh this item's really not worth that much, but I can make this gold back really quick, so I'll buy it anyway." instead of sitting there thinking "Do I want this item or not?" And that equals a price increase.

And now Gaia goes "We wanna to see if you'd like the idea of taxing you more instead of using the gold sinks already here and balancing out gold earning across the site so users just don't farm the one or two things that makes them the most gold." Because God forbid they admit that those actions compared to every other action on this site, doesn't make anywhere near as much gold. Screw that, Gaia. For real.

And I'm not even talking about the Cash Shop, 'cause it only generates gold when Gaia goes full retard and hands it out in a CI/RIG fashion. Even the CS items having a sellback price doesn't generate gold, unless they soulbind the thing *stares at the good ol' poor "Oni Set" item*. Thank goodness they've stopped that. Usually the sellback price is too low compared to how much the item's worth on the MP.

This s**t's so easy to fix, it should have never happened.
Lower the CS price of zOMG powerups. Then nerf the gold. Even with that you'll still piss people off 'cause the staff behind that game decided to make it tedious as ******** to play for some stupid reason. I still remember that dev and his ridiculous notion of how to play that game "It's supposed to be like pacman, casual fun, but you never actually win." :eyeroll:

Lower the CS price of aquarium fish. The only reason BG exists, and the fish drop so much gold was because Gaia decided to make an item that dies/disappear cost so damn much. So they somehow had to make Gaia aquariums attractive to use. But God forbid Gaia make anything in the CS cost less than $2-3 USD. That's ********' taboo. "Do I buy an EI/REI or do I buy this fish? If I buy this fish, it better be worth it, which means they better drop a s**t ton of gold so I can buy the EI/REI I probably should have picked up in the first darn place."

Eventually...balance out gold earning across the games and the site, which includes the above. Make your gold sinks more attractive *stares at gold shops*. Problem solved. Prices may not drop back down to how they were, but those who don't touch those features won't feel like they "can't make gold for s**t" and those with way too much gold won't be sitting there bored out their minds trying to figure out "what do I do with this huge amount of gold? *stares at it*." This isn't rocket science and we're certainly not trying to build a nuclear power plant.
