After studying the Gaia Marketplace, I have come to realize why so many Gaians are so poor. It has nothing to do with that new Gaia 2% tax, although that isn't helping, it is simply because people are fools. Sure all of Gaia's new rules for the marketplace don't help. Not being able to cancel an item in your shop that allows bids after 5 minutes is ridiculous. If there are no bids on it why can't you cancel it? If no one is willing to bid for it, what is the point of having it?

Anyhow, this is why Gaians are so poor. They don't know how to work with capitalism, so it hurts them. Everyone is selling things for an extremely lower price than suggested by Gaia, so they don't use the tools available to them. They don't have the patience to wait a few days, so they lower their price more. It's not hard to keep something at a similar price. That's why you can never do business in the MP on weekends. All the noobs flood the MP with items for too low of a price, so the price of everything drops.

I know I won't be liked for this, but who cares.. No one will read this. Just need people to know how dissatisfied I am with the stupidity of people, and for someone to realize that by being so ignorant of basic sociology and economics they are hurting everyone economically, especially themselves.
