I believe a point was well made - I too believe that the Development Team is trying to phase out Guilds and get everyone into the forums only. Didn't they have some kind of announcement not too long ago that more or less pointed to the fact that they were thinking of making mini-guilds on the forums? I remember mamarita even posting some feedback about their announcement about how that's what they were trying to do.
The staff let the guilds get to the state they are in. Sure we can live with guilds as they are now and just plod along like this. We don't have to have improvements and not pay for anything. The thing is, why should we have to?
Why should we have to accept their word on anything anymore? They have told us one thing and done something else so many times, I for one don't believe anything they say. As for paying for guild upgrades- no.
Let them upgrade the guilds and then maybe we can pay for things. But tell me this, how can a GUILD BUY GC?

I take my hat off to you there. i agree with everything you said. if they had kept guild updated from the beginning Guilds could be raking in the money from them, not only in Gcash but GG as well. but right now i dont believe we as guild owners should have to pay for something that was promised a long time ago. And not only that they have gone back on their word one time too many, they really aught to know by now that making Gaias members angry is just going to make people leave the website. which in turn they will loose money for.
What they should do is to start another project that rakes in the Gcash so that that project can pay for itself and the guilds. They could make some new items specifically to raise money to pay for the guild updates, not only would they be gaining money but the users of gaia would be getting two for one in the long run.
To be honest i also think they need to have a user focus group either held on gaia or in real life to represent the needs and wants of the users of gaia, because frankly i really do not think ATA is doing anything too productive. They need real gaia users behind them in everything they do or this site is going to die in the next 3 years. (just an estimate there)

Again, we are on the same page. IMHO. I don't give Gaia 3 years at the rate they are going. Long time users are already leaving the site, others are getting tired of the games the staff is playing with the GC now and are going to leave soon. Once word of mouth gets out that the site is just after their money and not giving anything worthwhile in return, no new members will come. I feel bad because I really like Gaia. What I don't like is the way it is being run behind the scenes. Something needs to change but I am not sure how we as users can do anything about that. In the end, the users lose and so with they when Gaia folds. The only ones I really feel bad for are Lanzer, Ling, L0cke and the other originals who made Gaia and loved this site for what it was meant to be.
it is starting to feel more and more like Farmville and all those other facebook games that only have real money related updates. the only reason I get on anymore is to talk to friends ive met on this site, but im friends with them on a lot of other sites too so if they stop posting on gaia then im gone
I haven't gotten gaia cash in years because of how the site has been run
ill enjoy them for a month or so, but when nearly every single update is mostly cash items I lose interest very fast and then move onto the next game
