If this has been mentioned before please delete this thread. I searched for this and could not find a thread so here goes...

When GW started I am sure that the creators had a dream of selling one million copies. They set the game up with high standards and as such a 100,000. gold cap on players and a 1,000,000g cap on the chest.

Now, 5 years later 5 million + copies sold with lots farming including myself as well there needs to be a change in the amount of gold that one can carry or a more effective gold sink.

My suggestion is. Raise this by a factor of 5 - cause its been out for 5 years.

so the player could hold 500,000 gold and the chest would hold 5,000,000g

This would seem appropriate as the 5 year celebration should be something of a novelty for GW to have lasted this long with the xbox and wow and stuff around.

So what do you say.. 500K??

Tullzinski is absolutely right. Ecto`s would lose some of it`s merching power.

A long overdue, practical and much needed change. I would also include changing the trade cap to match (500k).

The bourgeois need more space for their riches. ~___~

absolutely. ectos have never been and will never be as stable a currency as straight up gold.

And let people trade unlimited items in the same trade window, too, so it's easier to take everything you have when you're account is cracked.

I like the extra gold storage room idea.

Eh, sure. I don't really see the need for a cap in the first place. Certain people are going to acquire incredible amounts of wealth anyways, a gold cap won't stop them.

I can't corroborate this (I don't work for Anet) but supposedly they monitor large lopsided trades because of RMT. I would imagine if someone threw 20+ stacks of something in the window and the other guy put nothing with no extenuating circumstances (same guild/alliance, whatever) it gets flagged.

If not on the characters, at least in the stash.

I hate having to distribute it amongst my people because the stash has absolutely no room. There really isn't a reason I can see for the stash to be capped. It wouldn't affect trading either (for those of you who are worried).

Zahr Dalsk · Jan 14, 2010, 07:04 PM // 19:04

It should affect trading. Wouldn't need to use ectos for a lot of things anymore (though if there was still a cap, albeit higher, then there would still be some trades that would require ectos or a similar stand-in).

If the storage amount in the Xunlai were increased/uncapped, but the player max was still capped @ 100k there shouldn't be any problems.

I don't deal in High-End items, so very few of my trades actually meet/exceed the 100k player max, but it would be nice to not have to convert my surplus hoard into Ecto.

Trading cash for gold seemed to never stop the gold sellers.
Account Age = cap increase = good idea

Revolutionen · Jan 14, 2010, 07:31 PM // 19:31

wouldnt it be better to just make the trade cap of gold unlimited? ;o
I dont see what would be bad with it

This should have been in the game the moment people started hitting the cap.
