Hi Staff!
I was wondering, if there is a chance to add a sellback option to the following kins:
Cubdrop
Leafkit
Echo
Aerling
Grunny
Chirpette
Mystic Pixicroak
Cow
Strawberry Cow
Chocolate Cow
I drown in those from time to time (Especially in the new cows from the Halloween Event!) and it would be much appreciated if I could sell them back, even if it is just for 1000g like for the slimes.

We added a sell back to some of the cows, also some of the cows can now be used in a new alchemy formula. Some of the other kin we'll have to see about adding a sell back to.

The last several tiers haven't had the "will not be released for six months" notice on them. Is it safe to conclude they are non-exclusive or that all tiers, even those without notices, are a 6 month resting. (Exclusions such as ticket tiers being stated)

Yes! All tiers from that tier on will have a 6 month resting period.

Do you think you could or will ever re-release certain achievements we missed out on one of the Gaia forum battle thingys again? I mean I got a rouge achievement, but I missed out on my Knight one because I didn't buy a tome for it... It would be nice to be able to have a battle and try to get a different fighter class and play, soooo

Would there be anyway that signatures could be rejected upon creation? Like if the image(s) add up to surpass the limit they can not be added?
There's plenty of people with huge signature gifs. If the rules are a 100,000 byte limit they have to be that limit for everyone. Unfortunately not everyone knows about checking the file sizes and all that.

Unfortunately probably not, as it would require us to download the image and we currently don't have a way to do that.

Can Staff PLEASE up the points for healing?
We need 2k heals for the achievement & that's really hard to do even for the most avid of achievement hunters.
I feel like the "points" for healing should be increased so it can be done in a timely manner for those who work & don't have as much free time as those who do.

The 2k heals achievement is for using the "heal" action 2,000 times, so I don't believe points should necessarily have anything to do with it?
The description LITERALLY says "2000 points"..?
Ah right, because currently heals are worth 1 point, so it's a one-to-one. Yeah, the intent was to use the heal action 2000 times. The reasoning behind it is we assumed that given the event is two weeks, and that Gaians normally participate for more than an hour each day in the event, it would be a feasible task. It would certainly take time to accomplish no doubt, but doable within the two week time frame.
Unfortunately we can't change the heal points without it retroactively applying, so it would throw the balance off wildly. However, it's something we can keep in mind for future events and bring back with different parameters.

If you created the Generator Ticket, which is basically a paid for version of the community RIG contests that staff have been holding some time for free does that mean that community contests would be axed in favor of the paid method? I feel as if this is the eventual fate of such contests as the Gen Ticket's price has dropped over 50% since its debut, essentially saying that you're encouraging people to buy it.

Features - Large GC Purchases and Trading Pass Disabling...
Is there any way to put repeat buyers who have an outstanding purchase history with Gaia Online to be placed on a White List of some type? Whenever a user purchases a large enough amount of GC to buy a ticket, their pass is disabled. These sales always occur outside of business hours meaning their passes are disabled all night. This interrupts their vending and other activities on the website and it is NOT for first time buyers. It is every time on a purchase (i believe) above 100USD worth of GC. I have gotten the freeze on a $60 purchase before (but was a larger amount of GC thanks to sales).
In the past Gaia had a system where first time buyers had their GC and items purchased with it frozen to their account for a time. Couldn't we just do that?

Question: Will gaia ever create a system where users can keep track of their ticket submission progress? I know that recently you guys set up a sort of "confirmation email" that stated you guys received our ticket email submissions, but that's just not enough. Everyone, including myself would like to see some changes, and I feel maybe creating a way for users to check on the progress of their recolor/item/ticket would be great for everyone. This would resolve the issue of users resending emails (bc they never received a confirmation email or felt gaia never received it in the first place) and would resolve the issue of users constantly emailing to check the status of their submission. I think gaia should really do something about this, please and thank you! heart

We are working on implementing some changes at the moment, but the reality of the situation is that the emails that you receive are the closest thing to updates we can give. We cannot offer more than the approval of your ticket, your mocks, and then your finished item.
It should be said though, that not many emails get lost or not sent, even if they do not receive the confirmation email. There have only been about less than a dozen that have not been received, so it is not a common issue.

What's with the achievement points for the event? The hardest one, the Level 10 achievement, is only worth 50 points. Even the level 5 achievement seems extremely low (a measly 25 points). Can we get a change for this? Along that note, for future knowledge, is it even possible for achievement point total to be changed after the achievement is released?

We do not allow someone to pay to have their account unbanned, the only exception to this rule is if your account is banned for making fraudulent Gaia Cash purchases. If your account is banned for that, then we will allow you to pay back what you owe from the fraud (plus any applicable fees) and have your account returned to you.

Any tickets regarding payments are typically handled within one day. I've taken a look at your closed ticket and it looks like you didn't reply within four days of our reply. In cases like that, the ticket gets closed. You can reopen it by replying to it.

Are you working on the Paypal issue? I'm asking because I bought 30K GC when the Rainbow Ticket was on offer for 29.9K GC and the tier thing was up. But I didn't get my GC, had to file a ticket. So... I missed out on a project rainbow ticket AND the tier thing because of a PayPal error thats now happened TWICE to me.
It's really frustrating, when you buy a huge amount for something and can't have it cause of a error via systems etc. Now I have to wait for the rainbow ticket again and missed out on the tiers :'(

Could we possibly receive word about the Jump Ticket rather than its questions being buried in this thread? Its rules remain in the tickets megathread, so clarification on it returning, it being addressed due to the influx of threads expressing displeasure at its creation, or it being 86'd completely would be optimal due to the rising tensions between the userbase that actively obtain tickets and staff ever since its debut. Creating such a schism in the community and not attempting to fix it after such an incident could cause trouble in the long run.
