Discussion.
Okay first of all, I have a reason for posting here. This is where it is important, and such.

Gaia to U.S.D. ratio is the main discussion.

Everyone selling for less than $2 per mil... You are fucking up this part of this site, let alone other sites.

I understand, everyone wants to make profit, but still. People selling under $2 per mil is fucking killing this site's sales.

People think the lower the price the more demand. No. It is just more you get screwed over for. Everyone wants profit, well, why don't everyone at least KINDA work together on it?

Most general discussion is botting, massively. When did botting become fucking legit? I'm so God damn tired of users calling their gold legit. Cut the shit. 99% of the gold here is illegit. Last "legit" person I saw here was Tat, who wasn't really legit anyways. Get my point?

Botting is fucking up our ratio. I understand you want profit, I want profit too, I am not posting this saying I want more. I'm saying, if we don't cut the shit, we'll be selling at 25 cent per mil by the end of next month. It is bull shit.

We need to at least stop lowering the price. I mean hell, one person has a shop open for $1 gold no matter the amount. I mean sure, you can have deals, 25m for 35$ or some shit, but 25m for 17$? That's where we're going if we don't cut the shit.

If no one agrees with this, go right ahead, fuck the site. See if I give a shit. I'm trying to help you all out. Not like this site can be revived by this anyways.

True that.

Lol, you can say more than that.

@Nick/Smithno13's Instant Message. Yes, I helped Google collect all the LG gold and crash teh LG gold's higher ratio, yet, that has nothing to do with the USD ratio. LG gold has been out for a month or more. Gaiaonline gold is either going to crash or stabilize in the next month of this low ratio shit. Over three fourths of the members come here for Gaia, and with these low ratios, you'd think there would be buyers... Why aren't there?

It is true its fucked up people trying to sell shit. like 99 cents per 1mill thats too low.

whats next 80 cents?
#5
Unfortunately, the way the economy is linked, when the value of GG in relation to LG goes down, the value of LG to USD goes down, and with it the value of GG to USD goes down. Even though LG is now gone, nobody is willing to increase the rates.

The economy is very lowly related to the spoiled kids getting money to spend on stupid shit...

I know no one is willing, I'm saying, this is the end until something changes.

Really I'm not paying 2-3 dollars for half an Ancient Katana too much money's being dumped into Gaia's economy its BS. Like Coco's used to be 300k now 900k Headbans 1.2m now 10m Wtf. Ya and I've always seen the Illegit/Legit problem. How the fuck are you supposed to know how they got it unless they recorded earning it xD. Lg's gone through hell and back and here we are at the car getting ready to leave and this is what happens "FUCK I LEFT MY KEYS."

First of all, your first sentence, I've always viewed anyone willing to put money into a game is retarded, but what can you do?

Gaia is super inflated, almost everything. It is bullshit.

There is not such thing as Legit when you have LG on your IP.

Amen really Gaia started this shit with GC they just want money like any smart company. So how to do it fuck the user and let the spoiled buy their way to the top.

Gaia Cash is not the simple way... A lot of newbies grab one item and hold onto it forever...
#11
I guess GC is just sort of a stepping stone in the shit going on in Gaia. But I'll stop posting cause this is almost spam and I dont like infractions. D:

... Post count doesn't count here, and plus, no one gets in trouble now anyways. Unless someone scams someone, nothing happens on this site. You're safe...

And how is Gaia Cash a stepping stone? Wasn't it around back in 05 or some shit? Gaia Cash is just a way to help support Gaia's shit. Not to mention the advertising money they get...
#13
Maybe Im just saying it wrong or maybe I'm confused but anyway. MC's too now thats just getting stupid they have no ideas and they just get worse and worse and worse. But you know with the cash shop thing that came out a while back (Idk it was just before I left gaia it was pretty cool back then) But now the prices in that are ridiculous too. 10$ will get you like 2 things. But GC/Mc's are pure profit. Just for themselves I guess thats what I mean and remember the Gaia Cash glitch thingy? I wonder does that still work. But yeah ultimately prices are fucked up and everyones in for themselves we could all help each other a lot if we worked together as a COMMUNITY!!!! Which is what we are.

I confused myself with my last post. xD

The MC's are made to either break or make you. The MC's now are just shit. Except the fake A. Halo.
#16
What do you think we should do? We can't put marshall law into effect over the price of gold xD. And god knows someone wont cooperate even if the majority come together to help eachother out there will be a few who say "Fuck you I want money NAO!"
#17
So, in tl;dr you can't take the fact people are selling for less than you so you're saying that selling lower won't raise demand?
You're logic is flawed, you're just jealous that people have their gold priced how they want.
It's not hurting the site, only your business, because you want to have the cheapest gold, but when competition comes up with cheaper gold that you're not willing to beat you call shit and cry your diaper off.
#18
Hey look, I remember something from economics.

The lower the price, the higher the demand, and vice versa. Where the slopes intersect is what the "market price" is.
The key is finding the best price to sell where your demand is great enough to turn a profit. If you sell too low (In the real world) then you are losing money.
However, when selling gaia gold, that is not the case. Gaia gold costs us who are selling ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Because we are either hacking it or botting it, and we have practically a limitless supply.
Therefore, the price can be set as low as possible without worrying about profit because again, the lower the price, the more you move.

Lol.

I'm not saying that we need to stop lowering. Yes, lower the price higher the demand, economics 101, yet, with the low demand that exists now, when more people get to LG, they will be able to buy at hella low prices, and sell to another site for higher, as I am doing...

@YYZ, trust me I have no problem with your thread. I'm actually planning on buying from it to supply my buyers...
#20
Okay I see what boobearsh is saying,and he has a damn good point, as a gold buyer, the cheaper the better, hell I like items too, and I also like money. But I'm not putting a red stamp on anyone's shop either, but all i'm saying is that if you lower the price of gaia gold here, you are lowering it in general, and hell you may as well be inflating the items on gaia its self if you are doing that
#21
I sold my 250m already. No need to worry about me for months, at least. Also, to the point of this thread; it's going to drop sooner or later, why not now? It's happening all over the internet.. Whether you like it or not. What am I suppose to do if I can't make a good enough buck over the summer? Can't compete with other higher ranking/reputable members to sell for 4$ a mil or whatever you sell it these dats, so I'm forced to sell at a low rate. I'll get kicked out of my apartment, and be forced to live among the homeless, or use a shelter if I cannot sell my gold. This is my only income until summer ends, really.
#22
It shouldn't be this way.
The demand for gold isn't very high, and selling this low is really hurting the Gaia economy. But what can you do about it? Sell gold for $3 a mill when YYZ will just beat you with .99/mill.

250m accounts don't count to ratios. Large accounts are sold to sell fast...

@Cataclysm, I know, sucks, but oh well. There it goes.

Okay, but it won't be open until the end of summer, maybe a bit early.
I can't keep track of two shops when I have this job.
In fact, I may only sell to resellers if you think that'd be fair, it'd also be easier to keep up with.

My buyers are being hella slow...

It's not an account, but pure on separate accounts.
