I have been in Gaia since the dawn of it has been made. Actually I have been on gaia since, June 28,2004. I was not a frequent user after for a year and a half but I have noticed great changes in gaia now that I am back and a frequent user.
In this topic I'll talk about the noob treatment. I have seen many changes in it. In the past, members started from scratch with only peasant clothes to wear. Now, there is a thing called "Starter Outfits" and it's getting better and better as they keep creating a more updated outfit. Sure, they first allowed us to have a choice with the starter outfits like the noobs now. But they created a newly updated one. So, why aren't they giving out starter outfits again?
Another thing that has changed is that Gaia Gold (GG) has been given to them on the spot while in the past it was scratch.
There are other things I disapprove with the changes in Gaia and the Noob treatment is one of them. I understand how you feel, the idea of the clothes, i'm 100% in agreement, let them pick from the basic peasent clothes again; let then earn/save gold for better looking, more complex outfits. They shouldnt get something that looks realativly good looking, just something extremely plain and simple. The thing about the gold though i disagree. If they're given a 500 gold head start, instead of a 100 gold one(which is how much i remember getting when i first started) it's due to the inflation of the market place in gaia. They can't really control the market very well, so noobs that have no idea what they're doing will probably spend the gold on something extremely cheap and wothless without realizing that they should have used the gold for something else, either investing or saving.
