I've been a part of Gaia since 05. It was really nice back then, no cash shop and stuff. Towns were nice and they had movie theaters and stuff you could go into like the towns. Was a real community. I quit for a few years for other reasons that had nothing to do with Gaia, and recently went back a few months ago. If you don't have real money or art skills you really aren't going anywhere on that site unless you are patient and wait for donations in a quest or charity thread or play certain games. Which I did when I came back and they helped a lot. They certainly got greedy, but they are making money to support the massive site they got. So I get it though it is unfair to those who can't afford to buy GC. So I feel you. But this has been going on for years with the whole inflation thing. When I started, Monthlies were only like 30k and that was a large quest to go for. Now 200bil is a huge quest and can take you quite some time to get as well. But with how much things are, it will honestly take you the same amount of time to quest something really expensive as it would of back then, cause we didn't have the huge amount of items we have now to trade and such. There is also videos you can watch to make GC and you can get a good 500GC a month if you do them just seldom. So other than the amount of zeros it really hasn't changed too much. Cause when one thing goes up it all goes up. But you can't get anything instantly on there and never really could. It's just a matter of preference whether you want to stick to a site like Trisphee which is more community or a gaia site which is now more about items.
