Quite simple, remove the gold costs associated with Zaishen coins, even to simply upgrade the coins to from copper > silver costs gold, something that really doesn't feel right.

Please remove it. The costs are a tad high, which is alright for a while, but the gold costs with it is just pushing it a bit.

it is only 10 gold, it isnt much of an issue to be honest. Go do 1 Zaishen Bounty/Mission and you get what 1500g?

Arkantos · Apr 30, 2009, 09:50 PM // 21:50

It's a very small amount, and depending on how many people get rewards (which I'm assuming is a lot right now), it's an effective gold sink. I see no reason to get rid of it.

You get 250-2000 gold for doing a Z-quest, you need way less then that to upgrade coins. Makes sense to me.

ajc2123 · Apr 30, 2009, 09:52 PM // 21:52

you get WAY more gold from the quest rewards for getting the Zcoins anyways. Your still making profit.

10 gold is such a minuscule amount I just can't see anyone having issue with paying it. I like to think of it as CDB - Cost of Doing Business

Anet feels there's too much money in GW so w/ this method combined w/ others (ie sal kits id kits etc), they use that to suck money out of gw lowering the price of things. zkeys which are roughly 3k(falling from once 5k) are injected into GW every month(which is y the price keeps going down, there's too many of them), i guess ANET feels GW has to much money in it so they want to suck some of it out. that 10g*X amount of players who purchase that zreward item or another one at an equivalent price = the amount of money sucked out. Honestly i think GW needs to create more collectors that give you good items like nicholas the travaller. and suck items out in addition to the zchest(ie 5 zkeys for x weapon or item) because prices keep falling

on my ectos and z-keys. I think GW has a deflation issue not an inflation issue (if we had inflation problems then z keys and ectos would be alot more than they are now, which isn't much).

Of all things to complain about in the grand scheme of the already undervalued coins, you're whining over the minor gold costs?

It's probably in there because of shop mechanics or something that can't be altered..

kazjun · May 01, 2009, 12:23 AM // 00:23

Eh, I'd rather they upped the gold cost and reduced the number of z-coins to buy things...

I'd take gold sink over time sink any day.

eh?

If they are categorized as merchants, there's one in presearing that sells a shield for free.

If they are collectors (more likely) then collectors usually just take items.

if they are CRAFTERS though....I GUESS that could be right.

But im willing to bet its just another money sink which is good.

Got a Silver Zcoin yesterday I had to pay 10g, gonna take me a whole day on GW to get that back.

The gold cost is the least of my worries. I'd rather get coin prices down and the gold prices up.

The costs of items bought for Zaishen Coins is a tad high, learn to read, moderator?

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

This gold cost servers a small purpose by draining gold slowly from the economy back into the system. Mind you, on a singular level it's a small amount, but when you think of the entire community doing it... it returns ALOT of gold. So...
