The only thing Tazaki that I'd like to say is that you have your opinion set the way it is because you are not new. It's easy to say you think someone could obtain a halo while you are wearing a devil tail and angelic sash, but a new person starts with 500g. A halo goes for about 40-50 million RIGHT NOW, and a bearhat for around 15-20 million. Seriously, think about starting the site now with no gold, no letters, no nothing. Think about how much even headphones or miniwings will be in a few months. Really consider this, and then can you honestly say someone will be able to obtain any of those items at the rate of Gaian inflation?

Well as i see it if i don't have a halo was cause i dont deserve it. I mean i was not here. I wish i had a sahs (that's my dreamed item) but di i deserve it? NO i was not here... I can work hard to get one and i know it can take at least 4 months but i wont (long quests are not for me sad )
As Aerion said once in a stickie that was very good long time ago. Donation items are for the donators at that time. I know in a year from now ppl will be crying on my chickye hats or my golden laurels. And i'll tell them im not rich and they wont belive me blaugh i think donation items are for the ppl who helped gaia to become what it is now... so let them have them smile

i dont think anyone who worked for the extreme amounts of gold will be happy if suddinly it goes from 50million down to 1million. i dont like this idea. eventhough it would benefit me. if you want to make the prices go down just make more of the old items accesible. the more the more the supply the less the demand. how much would you pay for soemthing that there were like 3 of in all of gaia? alot how much would you pay for something everyone has? alot less.

Sabin Lionheart Gaia's "Economy" (Which I am sick and tired of hearing people compare to real life economy, being that there are innumerable differences. Also, you aren't supposed to donate to make gold off items, because it's a non profit site, where you are donating to the existence to the site.) was I'm sure, originally intended to be a fun way to get something extra out of talking to people. -Uncontrolled/unlimited inflation -General rate of pay does not increase with inflation -Infinitely high P/E ratio... though now that they are selling shirts and such that isn't really true. Those are the only differences in gaia's economy that really matter (though they matter allot). Other factors exist such as no cost of living expense/Tax and rarely existing if at all debt but they pay such a small role that there's really no need to factor them in. After that you're still left with something quite similar to real world Economy which validates the comparison. If I'm missing something please enlighten me. Sabin Lionheart Seriously, think about starting the site now with no gold, no letters, no nothing. No nothing? Meaning you don't have any nothing, so everything? xd No really though I hate people make statements like the one I just made and pass them off as valid arguments.

Well, There's also that there's not nearly as many ways to make money on Gaia. If you notice, 99% of the money comes from buying and selling and art. And let's face it, not everyone is an artist. (This is not an anti artist statement, it's just that you can get a pair of nitemare minis from entering an art contest, but let's say you are an excpetional writer. Heh, good luck finding the same kind of contest.)There just aren't nearly as many ways to turn a profit. PLus Gaia limits how much gold you can make by doing certain things on a daily basis. Also, We don't pay gold for Healthcare, almony, car insurance etc. (which would go under cost of living I assume, but thats still ALOT of difference.) There's no Governmental body to keep the econmy in check either. Well, I'm stoping there, I'm sure I'll come up with more later. Back to selling my jacked set. xp

I think this is a good idea, due to the fact that you can only make gold either by haggling, selling, or posting a whole lot. With demand and inflation of items on gaia, it's extremly hard to actually buy the more expensive items, heck even a letter is a chore unless you are lucky.
For example, my friend just joined gaia, but since he doesn't have the net 24/7 and he does go to school, it would be difficult to make 4k unless he posted a lot or found the hard to find rares. The only way I made 1k on the site by post alone was posting from the afternoon to the next day, close to 6.am eek
With the games coming out such as fishing and fighting, it should help out the ways to get gold. And unlike life, it's easier to get cash than on gaia at times due to various jobs and not just relying on selling artwork if you are not the artist or haggling people, even though gaia is the only place where you could find free cash. Now if you can do that just by walking in real life xd

Back to selling my jacked set. xp Blah there are so many typos in my above post xp I should really stop doing stuff in a caffeine awake :sweet: ... Actually there is no limit to the amount of gold you can make in one day on one account it just starts to cap at 250 per 12 hours and you can use mules to avoid that cap. Anyway most of that stuff you added is just a sub category of one of my 3 main points: No Governmental Body= Uncontrolled/Unlimited Inflation & No Tax/Cost of Living No Healthcare, Alimony, Insurance, ect.= No Tax/Cost of Living Nothing you said really matches my infinitely high P/E ratio... though the art thing actually contradicts it if anything... but I don't really want to get in to that. The truth is that there are only 3 ways to make allot of money as a newbie: 1. Use mule accounts. 2. Donate and sell [convert real money into gaia cash]. 3. Make something [doesn't have to be art, allot of people can make good money with simple graphic editing or programing something (like the guy who made that personal chatterbox thing or the angle feedables even though those are a mix of both)] I guess you can also make money "playing the market" but it doesn't seem like you can make nearly as much... might pay off in the long run though I don't really know. Funds made "playing the market" are kept fairly secret by most people able to do it well.
