I have an Idea on how to fix the GW economy.

The traders' prices are based upon the amount of items they have.
The problem is that they screwed with the traders prices... I used to be able to sell stuff to the trader for like 80% of what I could buy it for.
When they messed with the dye trader's prices they decreased the percent amount of what she bought for. So instead of giving you 80% of what she sell(20%"profit") she offers you 8%(not even going there

). This discourages people from selling to the traders resulting in a decrease of trader inventory.

1)Lets say the trader has 300,000 black dyes... TONS. And she sells them for 3K a piece and buys them for 2K. This encourages people to sell to the trader, keeping her stock at a reasonable level.
2)She decides that she would make a much bigger profit by only offering 5g for the same dye, and selling them at the same price.
3)people aren't going to sell their precious dye for only 5g! Her inventory will decrease from 300,000 to 200,000 to 300 because people will still purchase her dyes, offered at a decent price.
4)She has VERY few dyes and so she sells them at OUTRAGEOUS prices upwards of 12K. while still offering the measly 5g per dye.
5)Everyone goes off the dye traders prices. So the economy gets a little... off.

?) What about farming?

A: Who CARES! ! !
Good for them they have like a Ton of money in their deposit box. If you want to invest all your time in the game in getting money, more power to you. But I would rather play the game for content.

Forgot to add my final solution in here...
PUT THE TRADER BUY/SELL PRICES BACK TO WHAT THEY WERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!

well i'd have to agree in the fact that with a lot of gold out there, even the most valued items will become devalued.
