Was thinking since so many people are complaining about gold why don't we add some gold as a reward also for quest? Not a large amount of gold, but maybe 1k or something. Would give a reason for lvl 20s to go back and do quest.

/applaud as loudly and as enthusiastically as possible

This the the best idea I've heard on these boards ever, without a doubt. Simple, yet so good.

Do what quest? I already completed all quests along the way for my character class, there nothing left for me to do. So how would I make this gold?

If it a reward for doing a quest, will again it not really that great to make me do it them all over again.

Ok, well it will at least help people that didn't do all the quest yet. Will help newbies get started a little bit quicker. I don't know about the people that already done all the quest.

Guess it an ok idea, but I don't like the idea of newbies getting it easy where I had to work/farm for my gold.

Great idea in my opinion. Often getting some gold instead of a useless item for completing a quest would be far more beneficial.

Kabale · Jul 22, 2005, 09:06 AM // 09:06

Don't think this is a good idea, because newbies will get a lot of slack for being 'slow'... High lvl chars will just swoop through the area in as little time as possible, giving the newbs very little time to keep up, let alone get slack for not skipping cutscenes etc. It would be an annoying venture for both high lvls and the newbs IMO.

For quests of getting over the top money? sorry, but not a good idea. However, if it's 5,000 gold for Killing Glint and 250 for defending the Great Northern wall, then yes, that would be a good idea

it would be getting higher the farther you get in the game like 10gp for every quest in old-ascalon and 200gp for the quests in the desert same with the missions

I feel that although people want more money, with more money, items and other things prices would go up. Also, the game was setup so that when u make it to Droknars forge, you shouldnt be able to just say, o, here is my new armor, and then go and buy it. If they wanted the new armor to be "given" to everyone who ascended then they would not have made it cost more and more. Armor is a gold sink, put there to help keep the economy in check, and by influxing more money, the value of gold would decrease or rather, the value of items would increase because of how much people on average would have in general to spend on items.

The gold sinks in place are there for a reason. Without them, the economy would go crazy.

Also, money is easy enough to get as is. Anyone who thinks he/she needs more money to buy some UBER GODLY weapon or whatever and complains cause others have that kind of money is just complaining because others have mnore then you and you dont like it.

If you want more money, go kill stuff, dont beg to have it 'GIVEN' to you for something already gives a reward of exp. All it says is that you dont want to spend alot of time trying to make money which is how the world works. You think that if you complained to the government and said that you were not being paid as much as say Bill Gates, that they would just give you money for working ontop of what you already make... i highly doubt it.

Alright the market is already high enough, if you got 1k for quests it would go even higher. I like the idea but thats too much.

Starting at 100 gold per quest? I haven't thought the whole thing through I just thought it up last night.

For quests during the normal flow of the game, eh I wouldn't be too pleased with that. Gold isn't that hard to earn. Please don't tell me I wasn't the only one that stopped outside of Beacon's Perch and fought Ice Imps and Pinesouls for quite some time.

For quests in say the UW or FoW, that would be fine by me. By that point all your character is trying to do is buy FoW armour anyway so it would just be speeding up the goldsink process. Get it out of the system faster. Plus I'm sure a lot of people get fairly angry when globs/shards aren't reserved for them. At least this way they would get their share of the run. But don't make like the first quest 5k exp and 1k gold. I would say the later quests that would take you a while to get to so you're getting a lot more for your efforts because the FoW and UW can be troublesome at points. Yeah 10k is nice, but in the time it takes you do those quests you could just make that much EXP farming. Plus you would get a lot of neat items.

But if you're in a party, divide the money up too. Nothing worst that paying 1 platinum to get in, and one quest nets the party a combined 8k. Guilds would send 8 people down by the truckloads harvesting gold. And then Anet would have to nerf it, put some squids and scorpions down... ugh.
