why remove a cost of 10g?

You get more money DOING the z-quests then you spend transfering the coins you get from the z-quests from one to the other. It's a net profit. It's not even a real gold sink.

Most likely the 10g cost is there because the way NPCs are set up a minimum amount of gold has to be part of the transaction. That'd be why customization can't be free and probably why the coins have a cost as well.

the cost is so minimal that it doesn't warrant the need for concern

Gold sinks are necessary. There's too much money (aka gold) floating around in gw, and there needs to be something to waste it on. shing jea boardwalk is good for hundreds of millions of platinum worth of tickets every time it comes up. This seems to be a slower but more permanent gold sink. I think the price should be higher.

lol @ people who only say 10g. Tesla takes copper coins and 10 gold. Pokhe takes silver coins and 50 gold. Jessie Llam takes gold coins and 100 gold. More than just 10 gold. :P

But, it's still reasonable and there is no real point to remove it, especially since it's a gold sink.

I sign this for the sake of a non-needed cost. What do the collectors need gold for anyway?

lol? gold sinks, non-needed? Yeah, sure, let's have all merchant stuff go for 0g then. Everyone's happeh!

But wait! Then those who had to actually pay for things will QQ because they won't get their money back. And the tears from that will join the other tears of QQ'ers everywhere and create first a puddle, then a river, then a lack, then grow into a sea, and then ocean. People will cry out tears so high in amount that the world will flood! We'll have Waterworld in reality! We'll have to use little machines to take the salt out of the tear water, we'll drink tear water! No! Not the accursed water of tears, the tears of the QQ'ers of Guru! Oh heaven's sake man! Don't make me drink tears! But wait! I like drinking tears, as does this guy. We want your tears, QQ more! More and more! Let me feast on your tears! Make a world of tears so I can drink forever!

I'd like to ask the people who say this is a good monneysink; why? You get 500g quest reward lol, who can this be a gold sink?

But anyway

Its just too few, even if they made it 1k i wouldnt care.

Zquests give more gold than copper.

This is not needed.

Fail. If you are so incompetent that 10g in bulk is a substantial amout to you, uninstall. You would have to get 100 Silver Coins to spend 1 plat. I think by the time you get 5000 Copper Z Coins you would have made around 30k from rewards. Also, 50g to upgrade to gold coins. Lets do some more math off of that 5k copper coins. 100 silver coins to 10 gold coins. So a total of 1.5k for 10 gold coins. Please stop complaining. If you have taken the time to tediously do all quests more than once (lets say twice), you would have gotten 18 gold coins total. That is, um, ONLY 2.7k. Lets say you did them all on all 8 characters you have (assuming all are PvE). That is 72 gold coins. That is 10.8k. If you have gotten 72 gold coins, we have had the quests 13 days. Lets say you get average of 1.25k from the 2 PvE quests. 13x1.25x8. 130k. Profit of 120k. PLUS the face value of the gold coins, translated into Z-Keys at 1 each is 216k @ 3k/zkey. Total value of 346k. Total cost of 10.8k. What was this argument again? STOP COMPLAINING.

I wouldn't mind seeing the gold cost removed, not because it's too much money, but because it seems to go against the spirit of exchanging the zcoins, which are in themselves a form of currency.

That said, it's not really a big deal.
