Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

At the time I'm writing this, my account on here is only about three and a half years old. I've seen users upwards of 6+ complaining, so maybe my complaints aren't as significant. I'm gonna speak them, anyway, because that's what freedom of speech is for. And I've been bottling this up all day.

But I'm really getting sick of this site. I came on here and loved it. If there's anything actually girly to me, it's loving to dress something up; that's why I keep coming on here. For my freakin' avatar.

I remember I signed up on here before they ever had Gaia Cash. When they got it, and released cash cards in my area, after coming out with EIs, and still having the MCs, I though "Hey, cool! Now I can get these items!" but where I live, and whom with, makes it incredibly hard to get those cards often. And now, it seems like I rarely even see regular updates; it's always cash shop updates. Every single time. Fine, whatever. I can live with that, I guess.

Then they come out with RIGs. It actually took me a while to realize they had them; with the hat rigs and such, I barely realized it as such. But, as it goes, I've obviously noted.

And it's these chance items that have, in my mind, screwed this site over. Yeah, I get it's a way to make money. That's fine, more power to them. But when you have incredibly high odds of failure, and painfully low odds of success? I'm sorry, no. And now they're putting it in bundles, for a chance at a recolor of an item. Really, Gaia? I think I would've bought one of the bundles to get one. Or if there was a significantly higher chance of actually getting them.

The last RIG bundle I bought was the dark reflection. I was stupid in regards to it, and it seemed fun. Obviously, I failed miserably. I've never bought another rig bundle since; and the way they are now, no matter how insanely cool they might look, I will not, under any circumstances, buy one of those bloody things. If the chances of success raise... yes, sure. But not like this. If I get one of the rig items now, I'm gonna buy it from the marketplace with my gold; give the gold to another user, which, to me, would be worth it. Buying it with Gaia Cash, on the other hand... nah.
