I am really really really broke and soon to be even more so. But at £2 a 100k I would buy £100s worth of gold. And that is saying something (from someone who spends everything they have on stupidly expensive clothes).

I would only buy legit gold as screw risking your 2 yr account and dozens of 1 off items for a few mil.

Selling gold would mean people like me (unlimited real world cash) would dominate the market with an ironfist. (not saying I'd buy gold BTW, just using myself as an example)

No, it won't. A bot farm 24/7, even the more hardcore player rarely goes over 9 hours a day.

You can get more than 3k for a rare material. Bots will get up to 100gold.
You can get more than 10k form a Elite tome. Bots will get nothing.
You can get around 500g from a normal tome. Bots will get nothing.
You can get more than 100k from a gold weapon. Bot will get less than 500g.
You can get 10g..5k from dyes, but will get 1g.
You can get 25g...3k from armors with runes, bots will get up to 500g.

Only lockpicks and keys would really increase the figures.
But they drop from less than 0.1% of the mobs.

They could start by making all drops have 0 value when not identified and making it so you can identify may times by holding shift instead of having to double click the kit everytime.
- Double click Kit.
- Shift-Click, the identify icon stays.
- Click, the identify icon banishes.

I don't like this idea either
I like to play and earn the gold as I go and THEN show off what I have accomplished

To just go buy gold from somewhere and get stuff it's just not the same feeling IMO

why not make it so we can buy uber imbalenced skills why we are at it

think people action=reaction

Wealth has no effect on gameplay. I have wealth, but there is much better players then me who have nothing.

ill have some of that

back on track; just accept that there is no solution for botting/gold sellers.

Psychic Watch · Aug 20, 2007, 01:10 AM // 01:10

Supposing such gold could only be used on certain gold sinks, and not player-to-player trades?

Might as well just give everyone 15k armor as a present for hitting level 20 then.

yeah lets do it!!!!!

MEss up the whole GW economy and have a Bear MARket REcession and devalue the Plat .........

GREAT idea...game already screwed up enough with duplication of Armbraces of Truth

Hyper.nl · Aug 20, 2007, 07:31 AM // 07:31

Anet said that selling gold harms the economy, so they will never start to sell gold themselves. If they would, anyone who gets gold just by playing the game will no longer be able to obtain high-end items because of infaltion.

Prof Of Black · Aug 20, 2007, 07:32 AM // 07:32

Nono

That will DESTROY the economy.

Guildbay.. Doesnt sound good imo ><

The fix to bots would be to drasticaly increase quest and mission rewards.

arcanemacabre · Aug 20, 2007, 08:17 AM // 08:17

Actually, the only way to remove all gold sellers is to get rid of player trading entirely. There is no way to remove bots.

I'm not pessimistic, I'm a realist.

Good heart... Bad idea.

Y'know if Anet decide to sell the gold on their site, I'll buy it. what was it? £2 for 100k? For a tenner I can have half a mill, and tenner is nothing at all for me irl. It's a waste of time to farm these day imo. But only if ANet is the one who do the selling, which will never happen.

Bad idea ...................
