Well, sadly, that's just going to happen for the most part. Now, I think a better way to put that may have been that you think maybe they should put actual effort into their quest threads before they expect donations, by maybe adding color, and format. Ok, cool.

That? Sounds insulting. Maybe I'm thinking too much like modern day media, but...people take things out of context, all the time, religiously some people. I mean, seriously, there are people who make their entire LIFE out of misunderstandings, and taking things out of context.

We call them reporters, these days. (No offense, to any honest reporters out there, of course ;3 )

True, mistakes are a unfortunate given, but also something to look forward to so you know all the corrections you must solve in yourself or something else.

[Hermes]

Well, glad I could hopefully help you see an issue.

Remember, it's not even always what you say, but how you say things.

Everyone could do with watching that a bit more...

Quest threads bore me personally. I mean it's pretty much just I want this or that item and I'm questing it. I mean it's a quest thread. It's not like it can be radically different. Of course things like charities and market threads are like that too. I like charity threads though because they fun and there are usually contests which I love. I like market threads because selling and buying is always fun. Quest threads don't really benefit me to look at unless I want to chat with the people in it.

Anyway, back on topic. I lurk around here but I don't post much. I post enough to get the items I want and that's about it. Although I'll probably be posting on here more now that school is over. Anyway I just don't think its that difficult to get items(even if current DIs were 5k per) by posting just enough. I think prices have rose because demand is high and there doesn't seem to be as many suppliers of runes/DIs as there used to be. Whenever someone does sell they seem to run out fast. So I think it makes sense that the prices rose, but that's just my thoughts.

[Illusion]

I like Ashley's post xD
That sums my thoughts up pretty nicely.
Post Little Enough = Sure you can reach a DI or two.
If you can't get a super special item from little posting, try and start conversations. I'm very conversation hungry and new threads attract me *.*

[Nightmare]

That's because commons make the world go round. 8D haha.
I'm not saying people are expecting every item to come out at
once. I'm saying that when an item does come up in the market
that it should be priced fairly. not like 5k for this month's
DI's. That's the problem now.
Well, then don't go to quest threads. Try the charities that are
going around. They would gladly take donations to be able to help
someone else out. And that is kind of rude, Tyler. I agree with
Hermes with the Quest thread statement.
Well, doing that is going to raise prices, Tyler. You need to
understand that. People are going to want that price your buying
items for, and therefore things being to raise in price until it
gets out of hand.
Then the site is going to suffer then. :/ Hermes' post makes
great sense. I'm not trying to force people into donating, but it
should be something people might want to consider. It's a thought.
.... AND SINCE WHEN DO YOU ACTUALLY DONATE.
You're going to learn fast what it's like to have very little and
know what it's like to spend everything you have for one item.

Back last year, over the summer when I joined, and then Trisphee went into OB, and....I didn't know what to do with the items and Aurums I had hoarded.

So, I bought commons, and was my own personal charity, passing aurums out to new people, just a few hundred here and there. I couldn't be happier with the results, either. Sure, not all of them stayed, but the ones that did? AWESOME. And the ones that didn't? They enjoyed the time they were here, and I was part of the reason why they did.

That's what this site is about to me. Not just talking to people, but making something like friends with said people...

[Nightmare]

OB ? ouo
I joined in August I believe, so I don't know when it would've happened. x n x
But it's nice that you did that. It makes lots of sense.
People need to feel welcome here ... just talking to people doesn't mean
you're really doing anything super special.
I just wish some people would see that, but they don't. :c

[Hermes]

Open Beta, Nightmare.

CB1 is primary closed beta, then more if there ARE more(Which, really, there usually are more) Then OB, then more, if they had to close in between XD

[Nightmare]

Ooooh, okay.
I'm completely stupid, don't mind me.

You didn't bother reading like what I usually do for the implication problem I made with that comment on Quest threads. (Or you did and then I'm lost.)
And charity's are fun, but I want to give the item to someone myself. Feels more natural :/
And i do donate, gradually. Like I do on Gaia, the last time I donated here was about 3 to 4 weeks ago to a new member and I gave her 5k. (And she never came posting again.. A shame.)
I don't go all out like you, I just go here and there. Like I do in donations in real life for drives, give a little here and there. (Oh and bekkah that was slightly rude, not much though.)

(Warning this statement is way of topic a bit.)

Everybody has greed, but greed isn't completely evil like what everyone thinks it is, everyone lusts for something its quite nice lusting and getting things. But it doesn't mean you should have too much of it. People say pride is good, I hate statements like you can never have to much pride. To me its "THERE IS SUCH THING AS TOO MUCH PRIDE." Just imagine if everyone took pride in everything. Annoying for one, and two evil. Taking pride in killing something? ... Yeah that can be pretty evil. Portions in life, some people aren't use to having a lot and will argue some people feel they have enough or not enough.

*Is anticipating a comment from nightmare about all the items i have.*
I don't want to be rash or rude, just don't say anything about it. I heard it millions of times from you before about me or other people. I really don't care to hear it again.

They don't have time? Then why are they here to begin with? If they like the site MAKE time for it.

Seriously I've been wanting a increase in prices sense October.
The point of a avatar community is to talk, have fun, work for currency.

I will admit I have a lot of items, but I also spend a lot of my time here. There's s big difference between people who spend a lot of time here compared to people who don't.

=_= I don't want them for FREE. But 100 posts seem too much for just ONE item. I can't post so much (and like I once said said, msot conversations in regular threads are about food, perverted stuff or "how are you", so there isn't much to talk ABOUT in general, for some people at least).

I understand posting and being part of community, working for items is part of avvie site... And I post, as much as I can, REALLY, but spending 7,5k aurum for runes... Cut such a big hole, I know I won't be able to rebuild it in a week, or maybe even two.

It's not fair to raise prices just because some people are good at selling items and can be on more than others. It's not even liking or not liking Trisphee thing... There are real life conditions.

[Nightmare]

.... 5k on gaia really isn't helping a ton though. x n x

and your last paragraph is kind of ...
contradicting. Not to be rude, but I do think you have too much. @o@

[Illusion]

I said on trisphee not gaia xD
Last thing I recall donating on gaia was a bundle pack for rigs.

Read carefully and you notice it. Perhaps I should have said trisphee in there.

[Nightmare]

Oh, I didn't see the here. xD
you were talking about gaia then jumped right back to here really fast.

[Illusion]

I guess I did went a tad fast there.

But like I said, I donate whatever I want gradually. People tend to donate on avatar sites to plain out be a good person. And sometimes just to feel better about themselves because you know you did a nice thing.
