What do you dislike or think is the worse part of Gaia? The inflation, rude people, etc., etc., etc.

the rp content ; . ;
it's being monopolized by many topics in which I'm either not fond of
or the minimum quota to join is a 2 page profile -. -

I miss the simple ones.

Even the tavern/bar/walkin ones D: >

that's what had hurted me the most - .-
The inflation? well it's awfull and stuff but I've always wanted the nightmare scarf so I'm used to it being worth of an unreachable quantity XD
So I'm kinda used to it.

I think they should reboot towns tho. Many glitching glitches D:

I don't do RP as I don't know how and not sure if it is something that would interest me. The inflation is horrible, but with Gaia putting out all those bundles with gold in them its only making it worse in my eyes. The Items in them do bring the prices down some, but only for a very short amount of time. Wondering how and what Gaia is thinking about when they did this, how it affected everything in such a very short time frame, almost overnight for a lot of it. But greed does have that effect on things, also in real life. SAD!

well I understand that and I was mad as hell too when the inflation kicked in, then I remembered the reason I stayed on gaia were the rps
and then pooof rich as hell, selling all that I really didn't use.
Build some dream avis. Get some quests done and been left out with nothing else to do - .-
so I tried this alchemy thing and it ended up being funny as hell xD
in a single week I jumped from 1 - 8
I'm stuck since I need to complete my alchemist case to fund my way through 8-9
but taking that aside all good =w=
then again I'm curious as to why I've never bump into any of those rare bugs I seriously start to believe they no longer exist.

and the angelic/demonic quest stuff?
man... it's easier just to save up and buy them straight of the bat because of the prices.
It's funny how 1million became pretty much nothing.
Sadly the newbies don't know how to afford the munny.
And fall for the curse of the gaia cash.

I do get sad because of the inflation.
But then again.
Do I really need those items?
there are surprisingly descent enough items that doesn't go above 100million.
heck, not even 90, it's aroung 70k at most.
its just that everyone wants that whorish look of nakedness
or that face kind of make up.

but if you try out the gold items avies are pretty descent in my opinion. with a few tweaks with some 1million-70millioin gold like items. ... but mostly those items that are between 1-30million.

As for your statement of the rare bugs not being there or true, I have caught some of the rare bugs including a demonfly that I donated to a fellow alchemist (way before this last phase of inflation). I was going and still am going for my Michael's Wings and she is going for Lucifer's Wings. The prices of things and the worth or what they once were is so far overpriced. What we were able to afford in the gold department back before the inflation is now out of our reach it seems without using money to buy the bundles and choose the gold from that.
You are absolutely correct in that the million that used to be a lot of gold to most Gaians is now nothing, and its getting to where if you have a billion it's not even like when you had a million before all this inflation. Some things inflating up to 1,000 times or more for an item? Of course, some inflated less. Some have inflated 10,000 times (like the fish), so sad. What chance does the newb have to compete with this? It shouldn't be that to have anything even remotely nice on here you have to spend cash to be able to afford it. I know that Gaia can never go back to the way it was, a fun and enjoyable place to spend some time, making friends, and questing for that item you dream of having and accomplishing that dream. I for one never really learned how to make mega gold on here. I did PS and SS to get the gold I had. The wings I have on were donated to me (purchased back when they were around 200 mill, more or less) and they are now almost 5 bill (she quit Gaia and gave me the wings). white body dye that was about 100k (my guess) and is now 25 mill.
I guess its the nature of the beast? GREED!

Yeah, pretty much the only thing that hasn't died is the dream of a story I can contribute in some manner and make if worth the while I'm spending on this site.

Sure I've got some friends here but slowly each one of us is loosing their writting skills. I could see that during the past months.
It's like, we lost our motivation to keep on. And now we are merely chatting cassually. Not much of a difference if we decided to use msn, facebook, g+ or skype instead. - .-

right now my only goal is to reach lvl 10 and get my awesome crown -w-
taking that aside. I supose chatting with friends is great too, but still. I miss the old gaia where the hangouts where epic. Those days that you were 3am and you still didn't care. For the adventure written with the aid of your friends or a total stranger made it worth reading and oversleeping the next day. Mostly during weekends or vacations.

Is it true? are those bugs still out there?
They by no means hesitated when they said they were rare. I've been doing quite a quota of bug hunting and not a single rare bug was sighted.
Out of a blue uncatchable box I've not sightings of something special in towns other than the usual loot.

yes the rare bugs are still out there. was told that they only release one great monarch a week, not about the other rare bugs. All I have caught are: demonfly, whistler, and a purple fly.
Its sad the creativity that was shown and enjoyed by many here is falling by the wayside. Not so much by creativity, but by those not being there and contributing and continuing the story.

It took me about 2 years to level up. Didn't do much for the first year and a half. Keep going you'll become a level 10 and will get your Crown.

Sure, I only need enough ingredients for an alchemist case. That should be more than enough to get to 10 and get the ingredients needed for the crown XD

and yeah, it is sad, but true. The silence of others may main the little inspirations of those who still try .

So there are rare bugs after all.
