Anyone seen this yet?
Lanzer seems to be trying to soften the blow.
I'm not feeling it. Sorry, but it feels like more of the same.
"We try our best to move forward and I know we cannot do every single thing that makes everyone happy. And for the reasons stated previously, there will be more features and items to drive funding support for our site, and it’s something we have to do. What I do promise is that we will continue to address the core concern for many of you who wish to be rewarded for participating in the Gaia community. From different ways to earn items, to other types of rewards and prizes, we will continue to make more features that will levitate the concerns over the economy, marketplace, and rarity of items. It's going to involve many events and updates for us to balance things out, but we've never stop thinking about how to address your concerns, and we're always listening."
... tch.

Going to move this here, since two threads for the topic seems redundant...
Lanzer is trying to drive home the same thing the last update said, but without using phrases like "our investors" and "our bottom line" that make us sound like commodities. Instead, the message tries to appeal to our sense of gratitude for what they do offer us for "free" (read: ad supported)
You know what else is entirely free? Requires artists, servers, full time staff, and costs A WHOLE LOT LESS? And DOESN'T CONTAIN ADS?
Dungeons and Dragons Online Lord of the Rings Online Star Wars: The Old Republic
Those are just the first things that come to mind. They are full games that operate with 3D graphics and massively multiplayer environments, and have never, in my experience, asked for $50+ on one entirely cosmetic virtual item... for $15 you can typically get a HUGE SET of additional content. When they DO ask for $50, it's for collectors edition content, and those are MASSIVE!
The real point is still being missed... we understand that cash is needed to run any site, particularly a free to play social site, but we need to see the panhandling be less frequent and more reasonable!

s**t, you get a better deal with Blizzard than with Gaia! And god dammit I need to shut up right now before I lose my guild data.
Give me a little bit, guys. I need to secure some stuff.

Sorry about that, we seem to have noticed his post at the same time.
They say our money is paying for things, but what exactly? I still don't see anything but them asking for more of my money. Maybe I need to dig through announcements or SOMETHING to find proof of the stuff they say they've been doing, idk. But I don't want to keep paying for a... useless broken product.
