OMG, man! That's a long fucking time to go without a GFL fix. I feel like I get one or two a year, but most come from rewards... I snatch up a few packs a month sometimes, but most of my collection is from playing like a maniac for the first year or so. I can say with about 99%+ certainty, though, that after seeing how they jumped in price this year, I'll watch my own balls freeze off and shatter on the ground on the coldest day in hell before I think about burning another one, gold or not.
I burned a bunch of gelatinous cubes when they were only a penny each, and last time I looked (during the height of it all) they were $.09. Never again.
Lol...except I've been thinking about doing a weekly burn of something to create a "hostage situation" for the hardcore folks. Make a demand of 10% over market value or I light it up. But, nah. I only pretend to be an asshole...
