I joined Gaia in October 2oo3 so I've been there forever. But I was originally there for RPing and art, and the RPing has gone downhill and the art has massively inflated in price. I stick around because of friends and occasional art freebies, but I'm in no way a loyal fan.
Last November, I was perma-banned for accepting a trade from someone that apparently contained an "illegally" gained item. It was just a donation to me, so I had no reason not to accept, and I ended up being severely punished for it. Their policy apparently involves a no warnings, no strikes scenario, where it doesn't matter how long you've been on the site (8.5 years) or that you've had no prior warnings during that time. If they even think you've done something, you're banned forever.
So I opened up a help request ticket and I talked to a mod for two whole months, during which she just copy/pasted the same "tough luck" message to every reply I gave, and then finally she just closed the ticket entirely. Raging, I opened a new ticket and wrote this huge rant/discussion of unfairness/other things, had a new mod assigned to help me, and got my account back in 8 days. So, you know... one mod wastes 2 months. One just 8 days.
Gaia staff don't care about their users at all. Not in the slightest. You have to get lucky for them to even look at you. They just want to make money. My friend lost a Kepler (worth over 5million) when it disappeared after she gifted it from her mule to her main. She's had a ticket open for over two months now, and they haven't responded to her even once. She has screenshots with proof and everything. It's indisputable that she should have it returned.
Well, I didn't really donate in the first place (except for a couple times when cash first came into existence), but I can tell you now, they will NEVER be getting anything else from me. It's a rip off. I even stopped questing, because I'm AFRAID of getting donations now, in case that happens again. I can't believe an item heavy site like that would actually do something to make a user scared of accepting donations. So for my current quest, I sold an expensive item I had and used the funds to complete it myself, afraid to rely on others.
/insert a million of the angriest faces ever

And... the end. I apologize for ranting. I will forever be angry at Gaia, even if I did get my account back.

I stick around to chat with friends, but it's really losing my interest, a lot. Especially after that fiasco.

THIS.

I hear that, sister. They don't care about us or our feelings, the only thing those vultures care about is money, and how much they can milk us. I used to be one of the many, who spent and spent on maintaining aquariums and such. No more. I rather spend my money on the smaller sites that are starting out, rather than give them one more dime.

The free items from sponsors thing really gets on my nerves. Most of them are very poorly made.

Then you will love this: They have a new sponsor: Adventure Time. Only this time, the items aren't free. You have to pay Gaia Cash for them. Yes. Gaia Cash for Sponsor Items. I was like, f$%^ that.

Hello everyone how are you?

I only go back to check on it occasionally, and even then it's just to be nosy and it's only for a few minutes.

Yeah, there are a lot of beggars there. Especially if you have a MP store, with a lot of high priced items for sale. You will always get some noob who will ask for the item for free. I just state in my shop 'Don't beg, you will be ignored' and it seems to work so far.

I just wish I could donate to Trisphee. If I could, I would in a heart beat, because it helps the site get off the ground a little better.

Hi Zach! Welcome to Trisphee. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Also Momo, no more than two posts in a row, it's one of the rules of Trisphee. Just thought you should know.

you should go to the shops, and where it says 'threads' there are free clothes in there. and in the shop where it says trinkets and tresses - there are free items like eyes, noses and lips :)

Ehh, Gaia has a bad rep in all ways.
Lying, bad staff, cheating, bad ways, bad people, rude people, people of words i will not say...lol.
Plus I don't trust the site plain and simple. xD

IGNORE this all, didn't notice the other posts. xDD
