We're Gettin' Covered: No More Sex-Implied Items in Shops!

We're Gettin' Stupid: Because we kept Tobacco-related Items in Cash Shops!

Which tobacco items are still in the cash shop? ninja I never even look in the cash shop anymore. Man I wish I had the EI that went up in price in the market though. More because it's a Christmas thing than because of the smoking pose. I have the other EI that went along with it... Figures something would happen to drive the price of the EI I don't have up. I'm pissed about this whole thing in general. Also, I bought nearly every alcohol related item on this site because I don't trust they won't take those next.

I find it funny how they removed the tobacco items from the shops. I never knew they still have some in the cash shop though. They should stop following political correctness like this.

Adrienne brought up a good point to me in MSN.

It's probably a joke following that "Great American Smokeout" thing.

But, in the event it is real... Man, is Gaia doing some stupid stuff.

Also: FireFox doesn't recognize "FireFox" or "Gaia" as proper words.

A lot of people have been saying they think it's a joke. But I don't think Gaia would go to this extent to play a joke. I mean, their jokes have always been pretty obvious and see through. Think of all the April Fools things. All obvious, simple things. I can't imagine taking items out of the shop completely would be something they'd go through the trouble to do to trick people.

They even encourage you to sell your items back to the shop.

I don't think it's a joke, just saying gaia MAY pull something like that, which is what some people are saying. I'm over it. As long as they don't take my pitchfork away I'm good. >_>;

But smoking is bad. Why would anyone want them back?

The only value that I personally see in cigarettes is for cosplaying purposes. >_> Other than that, I have no reason for having them.

And to look cool. As we all know, smoking makes you look cool and sexy and sleek.

And nothing at all like a fish sucking on a tube.

As a result, Gaia correlates that cars are cool, sexy and sleek and therefore will be banned too. xd

Well, what a gloriously embarrassing adventure this has been for Gaia.

And I gotta lol at the fact that some people dropped over a million gold for auctioned cigs just to have Lanzer undo the ban... lmfao, slap in the face.

Eh... I'm over it.

I'm actually proud of the fact that Lanzer made the post. Better than hiding behind a stupid NPC.
PostPosted: Tue Nov 24, 2009 7:20 pm


Yeah, just as I had expected, and for the most part knew that this was going to happen. Not to the details that Lanzer would post an announcement himself, but that they would announce that they made a mistake with the tobacco ban and what not. Although I was convinced that it would be Lanzer's decision to fix this mistake in the first place, but.. eh...

... I really feel like I understand Gaia's position on things, but I still feel so separated from it all from my ban. ;_; Waaaaah...

Wait, you guys actually think they're "sorry"? That this wasn't all planned?

Really?

Come on. When has Gaia ever been sorry for anything? This was a big joke to them.
