Pwnder FaithBlack Pwnder I'm freaking blown away by the pricing of Aquarium fish in the marketplace right now. I wish I knew a good way for R:G to help that portion of the community out. The only thing I can think of is doing a fish drive and spamming the daily chances every day to get them. I think they are driving up the price of fish so they can eventually sell them for GC via the Cash Shop too. burning_eyes I wanna head them off at the pass ninja What? I don't understand you. All aquarium items are sold in the shops for GC. Everything on that list was in the Aquarium shop, being sold for GC at one time or another. It's on the marketplace now because people bought it for cash & are now selling it for gold. You can't get all Aquarium fish from the Daily Chance, only certain, cheap ones, like Goldfish & Sharktooth. There are several fish that were at one time sold in the CS either outright or in a bundle, but are now unavailable for purchase, other than the marketplace. Daily Chance doesn't give great fish but it's better than no fish. Especially when the free users can't afford 2+mil or 499gc for a single dolphin. It's funny how the Water Meat is more expensive in gold than the Dolphin, yet it's cheaper at 250gc. stare
So I don't understand your statement of "I think they are driving up the price of fish so they can eventually sell them for GC via the Cash Shop too," if they have already/are doing that. |

CourageNFaith Princess Zelda21 Yeah, those were pretty cool looking items, even the armor pieces. ^_^* Yeah, they were. Not to mention that "Hellion" items. They should invest in more GOLD recolors instead of spamming us with GC stuff.
Oh yes, I agree! More Dark and Light Elf items in the gold shops would be nice too perhaps. Or armor variants and colors for elves. ^_^* |

Oh good grief! Whatever happened to once is enough? I think they're wearing it out too thinly. Aye caramba! emotion_facepalm I still say put some recolors of gold shop clothing and the grab bags like before in the gold shops and I bet a lot of us would be happy campers! I know I would! |

And here's a quote from one of my friends in the same thread from SF that seems intriguing:
mayakko Umioko Oh gosh, I know right? This is so ridiculous now it's not even funny.
They'll do anything to make money. Even if it means destroying Gaia's economy. classified_fu They want to destroy Gaia's economy. That's the whole point of the gold generators, to make gold worthless so we'll be forced to buy GC. My friend works in this business and she said that this is, like, exactly what they're trying to do. Here's what she said before she quit: Quote: This is something that tons of web services/communites and games do. Making it virtually impossible to make any sort of meaningful progress unless you spend real money, despite having an in game currency, is nothing new. It's the nature of "freemium". It's obvious that this is exactly what they're doing, it's nothing new and it's been done and is being done by freemium games and services as we speak. Gaia just made something that is usually slow and gradual (so that the users don't really notice, it's the so-called boiling frog syndrome) happen within a few months. They're never, ever going to come out and say it because they know what would happen if they did, but that's what they're doing. Get people hooked on your game/site/service, then make them pay money to enjoy it by gradually making the free features either disappear or be near useless. I mean, I work in this industry, I know people who work in this industry and make a living doing exactly this. It's how the business works now and no sane company would come out in the open and say that this is what they're doing. What you will get is a lot of words about how much they care about you, the user, and how the premium features are required in order to keep your beloved site/game/service running, but that your feelings and opinions matter and they will discuss this and try to make improvements. None of it is true. They don't care at all, and as long as people are spending money they will continue to do this. You cannot stop them, and no matter how much people kick and scream in this forum or elsewhere, nothing will change. You are powerless.
