Quote from: KillerPig on September 23, 2012, 11:50:54 PMTaking very player's gigas away should not happen because whilst many poor people seem to be okay with it, taking away many hours worth of giga grinding will outrage an equal amount of players. Think about it. What if you just sold an Elektra +7 set for 350million gigas? Basically, you would have just given it to someone for free. The same principle applies to buying credits off the overpriced credit shop (as you'd just be paying money for nothing). I'm not just talking about the most expensive items people have sold, I'm talking about every single darn item people have ever sold for gigas. You implementing this = you (in a sense) just stole all of those items.

put that title to work boy. lets see it
tell me one NONPERSONAL reason as to why this shouldn't happen
Secondly, what will you do if you implement this decision and someone becomes extremely rich over time? What will you do, just delete everyone's gigas again or what? Something else you probably overlooked - a benefit for members who pay money is (I think) 40k coins every Monday. If you wanted to reduce the inflation, wouldn't you have just changed this instead of keeping it to to get people to pay you guys money for things which just get deleted anyway? From this point of view, it nearly looks like a scam!
Even if there were as many people not wanting the update as there were who actually did want it, that would create a riot, an outrage. Do you really want to fix a problem only to be faced with another? People would quit, go inactive, top gp grinders would cause their guilds to fall. This is an unnecessary problem that doesn't need to be faced. As Allie just said in the lobby, one of the other two decisions should be implemented instead of just swiping away gigas which put pride into people's accounts.
The decisions are:
-Put a 1% tax on all giga transactions / 3% tax on marketplace transactions
-Reduce the gigas earned during all game modes
-Implement several new "money sinks". ex: 200 mill for custom lobby color for 1 week
I now know that the main problem caused is the giga inflation itself, that now items are worth 350,000,000 gigas. But is it really a problem? Who cares whether the numbers are big or small, it's not like people are getting overly-good are really bad deals / trades because of it. Like I said before, there's no need to fix something that isn't broken. If you do happen to somehow ignore this useful reasoning, I suggest that you (in lieu of taking all gigas) implement two of the decisions above. I do not think deleting all gigas needs to happen and it would cause more problems than it solved.
