Welcome to Gaia! ::

So I'm sure a lot of you lovely ladies have noticed that since about mid December, the Cash Shop has been putting out a lot of bundles for different items based on a theme. The Alice in Wonderland ones that were just a little while ago, the Royal Court, the Chinese New Year, and as of today, the February ones. Now I know a lot of you have the same general idea about things in the Cash Shop lately with all the threads, that it's making questing hard with things like Flynn's Booty and putting out a lot of items that only some people can get but I've been thinking, maybe gaia is inadvertently trying to help?

A lot of the bundles are filled with items in the marketplace there ranged from the low, medium, and high end of expensive. but when the bundles come out and people buy them, they sell a lot of those items that they don't want and it actually makes the price of them drop in the marketplace. some of them are still expensive, but a number of them at least become halfway reasonable again. Of course, there's still really expensive items we all bang our heads into the wall questing after but as a whole, it does seem to be doing something.

so what do you girls think? is it ridiculous to have new bundles two and three times a week or is it actually a little helpful somehow with the rising prices that keeps happening? what do you think?

I don't think they really care about the inflation. I do appreciate the 10k and 3k letters I get almost every day for being a newbie. I think they're trying to help some new people get more gold because the inflation is hella unreasonable. But their main goal is income. I have an adblock plus that blocks every single thing. So, eh. I guess Gaia is only in it for the profit.

Its a reference to straight-up gold as opposed to a mix of gold and.items when.trading. What I hate is that people call it "pure", like its the Third ******** Reich.

I feel it's a bit ridiculous, but helpful at the same time.

I mean for the average person I'm sure all of this is quite overwhelming. No one can be expected to buy ALL of this stuff in such short time frames, but someone out there will, and the rest of us will buy when we can (or not at all). I think what Gaia is really doing is giving us options, while it may be overwhelming, someone out there can buy the bundle you can't, and put more supply in the system that will eventually try to even out with the demand. Not everything will deflate millions, but plenty of the items in the bundles have, and it's great to see.

I think in a way, the marketing team is trying to make up for the fact that we still have gold generators by offering all these items in cheaper bundles so they deflate, or you can just buy them directly if you have the money. I still don't like that we have the gold generators, as they help no one, but at least the bundles do help with something. Even if I can't buy them all myself, items are still deflating so much that I can afford them with gold instead, and that's wonderful. I just hope they continue, though I do believe they could attempt to at a slower rate.

What I'm talking about is they call it "pure", just that and not "pure gold". Like "I'll let.you have it for X item and 10 million pure."

And I'm not white if thats what you meant.

Yeah, its,kind of hard for someone who's never had "Go back.to mexico.you ******** beaner!" yelled at them at the convenience store to get it, but I'm not saying anything about you specifically, its more about societal assumptions. My apologies if you thought I was accusing you of anything.

I still hate the use of the adjective "pure" as a noun. I will not apologize for demanding people use words the way they should be.

Back to.the topic on hand: Still more items and bundles in the Cash Shop today. I hate to admit it but I'm going to.go take a peek since Nick gifted me some Gaia Cash.
