💬 Gaia's ticket racket - Your thoughts?

[xx I met my fate xx]

We all know one of Gaia's biggest moneymakers right now is the tickets. They allow you to create a custom item - IF you can get your hands on one since so many of the far richer gaians buy them all up, or IF you have the real life money (and brain damage) to drop thousands of dollars on them.

Some users have had A Ton of tickets. Others have had just one.

How do you feel about tickets? Are there any rule changes you'd like to see made?

I like the idea about it however I hate that it doesn't have a lot of rules or guidelines to follow.

I don't like how some of the super rich people buy them all up for gold to make whatever item they want, it isn't fair. I think Gaia should start making a way to prevent people from monopolizing these tickets.

It is a good idea, Gaia needs money to keep the servers open. If people are willing to buy these with cash then it helps with keeping Gaia going as a whole. emotion_c8

Haven't even used or brought any feel like everything costs way too much so don't aim high anymore feel broke most of the time and ignore announcements as much as can now
would be nice if was way could earn one just to have a go, but yeah everything costs some cash or a lot of gold these days

OMG the tickets are a scam, so much scam!

It's all the carrot on a stick. Same as back when they would flaunt that effin' new monthly-ultimate-kitty prize in your face for victory in the newest monthly RIG. TBH, the only thing that is legitimately "rare" here on Gaia is those tickets! To see users like Ri** have like 3 of them listed in the marketplace blows my mind! How the hell much did she spend to get those, and can I be her for like a week so I can pay off my house and get some medical work done!! From my point of view those people have no ******** idea what its like to be middle class, especially lower class or despondent. Must be nice to blow a middle class annual income every month on virtual internet bullshit..

Through these tickets, Gaia really lets us know what position we are all in financially, if you are paying attention that is...

Aside from all that, some of the ticket value isn't even worth the effort. When it was create your own unique Gaia item it was cool, now it's recolor or re-pose convert or whatever... lame.

If I had the super luck of finding a ticket, I'd sell that piece of crap off to the richest mo-fo and burn the gold.

If I had thousands of dollars to spend on Gaia, I wouldn't spend it on Gaia. I'd go to grad school. xp
