So the cash. They are getting so greedy with the cash I can hardly even believe it. Have you guys seen the "Win Gaia" bundle? It costs 124,999 cash. I'm bad with math. But 10,000 cash is $80. This Win Gaia bundle costs well over $1000. Real money. That's over two months of my rent. Do they actually think people will buy that? And even scarier to think.. did anyone actually buy it!? Gaia has really surprised me lately because this isn't the way things used to be. Did you guys get the PMs about gaia cash on sale? I was an auto cash subscriber, and they still sent them to me. I felt that was so rude.. like my $10 a month isn't enough? That's a lot for me to spend on something that isn't even tangible. I felt almost violated. Like if the mormons/whoever who show up at your front door just barged in the living room and sat down and started talking. I would get like 2-3 pms a day and on top of that announcements saying the same thing. Like, hello I GET IT! You want money! Well today it is now after 12pm. The "Bundlemas" bundle hasn't been updated. Gaia is receiving more money than ever, and yet nobody can roll out of bed and keep up with their events. If I got payed to Gaia, you bet I would get on it. This is their job... their paycheck. I don't get to roll into work hours late. I don't know what's happening here, but I don't like it. Some aspects of the site are great but I wish they would chill on the cash and take this site seriously.

scream
It's awful!!
My mom would flip if I spent 100 bucks on this site.
Then she'd text everybody and expound on the shame emotion_facepalm

But I do know, there are parents out there who give
kids access to credit cards then get shocked as hell when the bill comes in neutral

It's easy to connect money to the internet
and its really easy to forget how much
you've spent on non-tangible items.

emo My hope for this site is
that the marketplace prices
go way way way down.

Maybe one day,
I can buy the things I like without saving
for 10 years scream

My mom would never let me have this kind of thing either. Now I have to argue with myself not to buy it. Since I have only one more day at work and don't know when we'll have money coming in again it's pretty easy to say no, haha. But once I get a job I'll get suckered again. xD $10 isn't bad in a month though. I think of it like, normal people go out and see a movie, and it costs $20. I sit here. xD But people shelling out hundreds is crazy. I mean I've done it. But over the course of 10 years, haha.

The thing with the marketplace sucks because nobody wants to budge. I can sell something for like a 300% markup after a week. When the items I want are crazy expensive, of course I'll sell what I don't want for all I can. And none of us want to get less than we can. It's the people who start it out so high that make it high. Some stuff is just dumb though, like when the store price is cheaper. I always put it up the cheapest.. if it's not selling go lower. So at least I'm not terrible.

Gaia cash really is addicting. I only itch for it when there's something I want though. They don't have anything left in stores that I want. At least right now. I'm not as generous as I used to be. :/ I guess I've had my spirit tromped on a lot by people.

I haven't gotten a PM about sales in a while. Then they removed the Cash Generators... still don't see them back in the cash shop! Unless I'm blind. xD

GAIA IS COMING BACK TO THEIR SENSES! -maybe-

They even used Cindy Donovich again.. omg. Hehe.

eek Ya know what...
I JUST realized, these events where
you throw your money in for no reason,

its gaia's way of evening out the
gold held by each member.

scream I won't throw it in anymore.
When things go down in the market,
I don't wanna be broke like before.

Usually they get me for a few. I can't even remember which gold sink was the one that gave us charms the first time. xD But the charms were so expensive (still are but not as much) that when you donated the fist few tiers you could sell the charms for much more than what you donated. This time around they got me for the lowest amount that gave an achievement. The thing is most of the items you can get from these cost much less in the MP than it takes to get it by donating.

But if everyone thought that way nobody would do it and we wouldn't unlock anything. xD

The charms.
neutral Is that adventure worth going into??

I recently had 69 heart charms.
Just sitting there. Gave them all away
to someone who was needing them.

Was that dumb of me?
Are they worthless?

Cinderful


I don't really know if it is worth it. I never even tried it or really looked into it. For the price of charms on the MP I can't see how it would be. xD You are so generous giving them away. :3 Heart charms are going for around 20 mil a piece.

I wasn't here for the stuff you're talking about, but the prices for some of their items are insane. Even the marketplace items are out there. I went away for a few months, come back and everything is super expensive. Not that I'm complaining, but dang.

In a world like this where some back down I, I, know we're gonna make it In a time like this where love comes 'round I, I, know we're gonna take it

In a world like this where people fall apart In a time like this where nothing comes from the heart In a world like this, I've got you
