I agree if it was that simple. Have you ever talked to almost ANYONE on Gaia as of late? (Except for close friends)
The site has become FULL of classism,where people base you off your wealth.
I'm a big community discussion'er at Gaia, and of all the years on the site I've never begin to hate a community for it's people, they became so rude to others and new members. It's sickening. Gaia always had problems with beggars but from what I've seen it's a whole new level.
Now how does this apply to Gaia Cash? If the community didn't steer you away from the site, and you want to be like everyone else. What is the quickest way to make a quick million? Buying Gaia Cash. And let's say you spent the $100 to get into Club Verge? There's those $250 pretty wings just crying your name. At this point, you spent $100 on Gaia and a tempting $250 of wealth calls your name.... With a community pushing people to be wealthier and wealthier, someone might actually purchase those ridiculous wings.

Long story short, yes no one is forcing anyone to purchase anything. But when a society tells you "I don't like you because you look poor" that could drive someone to purchase these items.
