As everyone knows gold is blatantly the way lesser valuable between ep and gold. But its getting to the point where gold is literally useless, nobody will take gold for anything and if they do its at extreme prices. Gold needs some sort of "buff", where certain things need to have gold to be bought, repaired or something. I'm not sure exactly how to do this atm, but there definitely needs to be some kind of way to make gold at least somewhat valuable considering its the income of the actual in game money u make.

Isn't the reason gold is inflated because of story mode dungeon runs? Just decrease trash item drops there and boom, you solved gold inflation.. Maybe not totally but it would help.

More fundamentally, I think it is an inevitable consequence of EOC being so close to BOC, and the game spending so long at EOC. If (and when) EOC is much further on, then you will find a much smaller percentage of the population sitting around doing endless story-mode runs and amassing too much gold for the good of the game economy.

 

On the other hand, if you ask the players who are still levelling their first character, they'll tell you that gold is in short supply. Until you get to EOC and can do endless story-mode runs through the more lucrative dungeons, it takes a lot of effort to accumulate the 500-1000g for spells and mount-levels (at least it does without spending real money, or doing endless grinds for other people in order to get your gold).

So just increase gold rewards from quests?

Started a thread for Gold sink ideas a while back, if you are interested in seeing some of the suggestions: https://forums.hunte...old-sink-ideas/

@ Goldsinks:

Gem fusing is an outstanding gold sink (going even two tiers up requires a fair amount of gold, going more than that and you're talking serious gold). Currently however, the limiting factor for most people seems to be FP (until you get very high tier). There's alternate ways to get FP, but all of them are basically a grind.  

 

I had a suggestion a while back that would allow you to 'recycle' unwanted gear into FP/arcane shards, instead of selling it for straight gold (full post here: https://forums.hunte...on/#entry912687).

 

TL/DR of the topic:

Have a feature that gives arcane shards and/or fusion powder and/or other item for equipment, instead of selling to NPC for gold. Place this feature near the gem hearths.

 

It would encourage players to fuse gems, spend gold on shards (if it gave shards, could be set so you still have to buy some), spend EP on removing gems from equipment, and not give gold for selling the equipment.

Issue is at lvl 45, Considered Completed set - compelted jewarly set, completed basic of 10k gold for skill - bag slot upgrade's

After that initial 10k Gold or so not muchleft spend gold on.

 

Look at Gold drop's are GEm fusing Big limited do to FP - Gem to fuse

Death - repair fee's - Recuced do comuntie complaing - still farly dcent % of lose of gold.

 

Based on spent intial 10k gold or so for bag space skill's.

Other then these 2 what is there spend gold on ?

Why do people who want to play this game solo have to suffer compared to people who play in teams? If it wasn't for solo mode in dungeons I would not even be playing this game. We don't all like to team up with other players.

 

I think the main problem is with how EP can flow between players. EP is supposed to be the way you pay real money for accessing certain things in the game, so why can it be used in trades between players? That seems totally wrong to me. It should be personal. I currently have 12 EP myself, but I have never paid any real money to get them. The only way people should be able to get EP is by paying real money for them, then perhaps gold will begin to be valuable for the people who don't pay.
