I here a rumor that some of the older members of Gaia are complaining Gaia is becoming too easy. Do you think so? I just think it has become annoyingly glitchy. >.>

i don't think so. it may be a bit easier to get the cheap items in the store but it's still tough for new members to get the DI / MC items in the MP or the higher items in the shops. older DI / MC items have gone up as well. like a CoCo didn't use to cost over 300k. and members who can donate or are an older member just know how to use the MP to sell things and buy things at certain times and make profits and such.
Yeah. I kno what u mean. Like the samurai sword for instance. I think what some were complaining about is how when we created an avatar we had NO clothes on and had to buy even starter stuff. whereas now when some one make a new avatar not only to they have a "starter set" their avatar looks like hair and things almost equal the older member's minus the MC/DI items like you said.
I think they tried to cover for it with having any older member recieve the starter stuff if they wanted too, but maybe sentimental value of hard effort and the gold still lost could still bother them. Me personally, I'm not too whiny on anything besides server disconnections and such so it doesn't bother me too much.

It's easier for older membres who already have items to get newer items.
With the crazy inflation, that's no surprise.
Although there are a lot more ways to get gold now (Daily Chance, etc.) than there were back then. But you also can't get as much gold from polls (it was unlimited back when I joined) or posting, I think. So I guess it sorta balances out.
i agree that it has become glitchy...it's not the same as it used to be and some aspects, like the marketplace, are annoying....i used to sell something that was really cheap for a higher price to the newbies....crying

Speaking of marketplace the 2% deduction is hilarious when your selling something for a low price (so the deduction is something like 0) but frustrating when selling collectables... Doesn't that seem to make the inflation worse? >.>
I don't know if it is the easiness of Gaia that is turning off older Gaians. I think the random banning of accounts and the huge amount of hacking is more if a deterrent.
I think that all of the games have a security leak where you get sent links to fake log-in pages. A few older gaians have fallen for that and lost really big. They are surprised that they can get hacked from inside a locked game room. There are some very skilled hackers targeting this site. If your account is worth many millions and it gets destroyed because you went to towns, that is really irritating.

Yeah, its pretty weird now. If you got an early start account you get gaia cash, but when you start AFTER, then they don't. Its pretty weird.
Random banning? I heard about that but is it really big? man... TOO scary >.> Why would so many hackers target here tho? Sounds like somebody has no life...
