I was taking my personal thoughts on Gold Sink that if I was a game developer I would introduce, a few ideas actually. Cause in my opinion a "Gold Sink" is something that takes gold out of game and gives something that can't be resold or isn't going to effect the balance of the game.
Bribing:
Well Obviously most people know what a bribe is, giving something to get something in return that you wouldn't normally get. Kinda like in real life you house doesn't meet code to be sold but lets say the inspector turns his head for a minute and $500 end up mysteriously on his clip board and all of a sudden your house meets code.
Ok and in game use for this would be like at the stables masters. Say you give him 200k or so gold and you can now stable an extra pet (A Max of 3 Additional slots paying for each one). This is something that doesn't massively effect the balance of the game but gives a few more slots to tamers to hold more of the different colored tamables and allows the normal character (Non-tamer) to hold 5 packies in the stables etc...
Another Bribe would be again to the stable master to have them give you a special "Insta-Bonding" piece of food that will instantly bond your pet after taming so you don't have to wait a week of fear of death to start training the pet and working skills up.
(Yes yes I know so far the Ideas are mainly taming stuff, come'on my main character is a tamer
)
Another Bribe would be to a Gypsy to give your to give you a Perminate 100 Luck upgrade that can only be done once per character.
It's just an Idea and I'm sure it could be ran with I think.
A Wishing Well:
This would be something you can drop gold of X amounts to get certain buffs.
Some Buffs from "Wishes":
+5 Perma Stat (Increasing you to 260 total stats if you have all the other given)
An Account Tied Item that can't be dropped on the ground/traded etc...(Like something that has one charge and when you die it give you a rez and if you have more then 1 in your pack it uses all of them so it's a waste of time to get many of them all at the same time).
I think people will like this next wish Basically in essence it's Power Hour
, you have increased Skill gain for 1 hour but you can only do it once per character per week. That way this doesn't kill the Devs work put into Aclarity scrolls.
This is just a couple ideas *shrugs* like them, hate them. I personally like them but I'm bias
