Monitoring Cash Sale Frequencies

[Ky to the rescue]

Recently I've been frustrated by just how often the Cash Shop and Club Verge have been releasing sales. It's starting to seem as though as soon as one ends, another begins--to the extent that they're blatantly not even looking for "special occasions" any more. I saw the Friday the 13th thing as kind of a new low for Gaia--"yeah that counts as a "holiday" right, let's throw a Gaia party to advertise the new RIG" .

To further illustrate my point, and also just see how correct I am, I've decided to start keeping track of Gaia's flash sales. This means any item sold in Club Verge or the Cash Shop that happens to be advertised as 'limited time only' or listed as a 'sale'/'flash sale'. If you think other offers should be included, please let me know.

For now, I'm starting from today, September 17th, 2013, although at some point I'll want to back track and account for the entire month of September, possibly even August.

Glad to help! And truth be told, it's my understanding that this is the third or fourth release of Flynn's Booty since it surfaced. There was the initial release in the Cash Shop and now a few private messages have gone out to different users, with the latest "offer" being sent via PM yesterday afternoon.

Great job with this thread!!

Like wow. You guys are really greedy horndogs.
It's hilarious how bad you wanna get into my wallet.
Bluh.

Actually looking at it, if you consider the durations of said sales it legit has been that as soon as one ended they started another one wow this is sad. ._.  

[xx I met my fate xx]

They claim they're trying to introduce popular items into the mp to reduce inflation.

Obviously they have no concept of basic economics. *sigh*
