There's been some controversy over recent Gaia changes, and I wanted to get guild input.
Namely, user-run banks and the navigation system.
It recently turned out that several user-run banks, like lottos and charities, were scams. Because of this, the mods shut down all user-run banks. As if that wasn't bad enough, they only required the banks to refund the initial investement - not any of the interest. Which means that many people were out a lot of gold. In the case of the RPOG bank, any interest ever withdrawn from the bank was subtracted from your initial investement (I lost 120k in interest, plus had 40k of interest I had withdrawn subtracted from what I got back).
For the navigation system, many Firefox users and users of the Gaia toolbar found that they could no longer access the site without going through the Gaia A through Z (myself included).
What do you guys think of these changes?
