Do you think they will ever work?

I mean no dobut that they do indeed sink gold, with the pvp area, AH pots and such.

But I thought the point of all those, was to bring down the cost of FSP.

So they can be blance.

Yet FSP keep going up. 140k for one? >.<

I understand FS is growing, but still :[ FSP cost too much. I do not speak on my behalf, but for all those who can't buy FS or get them so easily as others.

Any feedback would be nice :]

One of the main factors in the current spike is that the market still has not recovered from the scavenging bug where UB200 and EW1500 were paying out at below the normal cost.

Until it is profitable to scavenge at current market prices, the big scavengers won't do it.

They are working but not very effiiciently all the time..the latest PvP changes encouraged more people to attack others so people are more anxious to get rid of gold and buy FSP..Scavenging fiasko 2 weeks ago also brought in thousands of potions for minimal gold spent..etc etc etc

I think gold sinks do work they just need to make a gold sink that makes gold more desirable than FSP, that way people will stop hording their FSP cash it in for gold and get robbed in the process

I believe the reason for the last up on FSP prices are the recent changes in PvP. Before this they were jumping up and down 115-130K gold each, depending on what day of the week it was. LEs in scavenging caves during weekends seemed to lower the prices. I don't think it will get back there unless they reverse the PvP update though. You're more likely to get hit, holding gold or not. So players will pay a lot more to not lose it all.

That said, a few more gold sinks wouldnt hurt anyway ;)

I agree with this, my 11 EW1.5k in backpack only drained a few thousand golds from the economy compared to the million they could of drained. Same with my 12 UB200 and such. Basically everyone in my guild who uses these pots regularly got stocks for at least a month..

all it's going to take is a good weekend LE scavenging event. like zachorizi or whatever his name is. or the full moon to come out and you'll see the marketplace drop like the dow did last year.

hell I sold 13 million gold for 130 fsp a couple of weeks back, so scavenging works with the right mobs.

But it was only for one moment. And only those players who were online could get them.

It would be nice if anyone at anytime could get them at that price.

When was the game ever about being fair? It's a player driven market, So I guess you know who to blame.

It's a system based player-driven market. The system largely dictates how the players will drive the market. The gold sinks haven't kept up with more players reaching level cap.

there are simply too many people burning too much stamina and getting too much gold from mobs to sink it

i dont see how they can ever keep up, short of drastically cutting the gold acquired in hunting

*shrugs*

I'm not the one listing my gold as high as possible to get rid of it as soon as I can..

Easy to point the finger huh?

The players offloading gold to the marketplace above what you want to pay are the ones you should be blaming. I have other uses for gold.

Scaling up the variance of structures cost per member.

Making more useful items such that people forge items once in a blue moon
