A serious question about gold I would like answered.

[Kyronix]

Seems very likely - with all the other issues the game has, the ability to easily move millions between accounts is a prety minor inconvenience for a very small number of people, yet seems to be getting much more dev time than the things people keep telling the team are major problems..... but sadly where we are now is major problems get pushed under the carpet, with various increasingly feeble excuses for not addressing them, alongside an endless avalance of pixel crack, half-designed and bug ridden 'new' systems the huge majority didn't really ask for, and 'global events' that re-write game history whilst being a thinly disguised grind for yet more shiny items we don'treally need.

The really important stuff, like bringing in and retaining new folks, enforcing their own rules, clearing out the genuine problems..... all in the 'too hard, don't action, but try to look like we give a damn' category.

The in inability to make secure high value trades is a problem for the economy, which is something brought up often as a major problem. Right now, a lot of gold sits around uncirculated and unspent simply because storing and transferring it between players is not an easy process.

For example, let's say someone ends up selling a rare for a 400 million gold. As it stands there is no easy way to transfer that much gold between the buyer and seller, and other items with inherent value equal to that of the sale price are used in place of checks. By making this process easy and secure we get more money cycling into the hands of people who will spend it instead of hoard it. Now the player who just easily got 400 million on one character is free to spend that money on any character on the account, a few million here on some new armor, a few million there on some new weapons, pretty soon all that money is back circulating, and that's a good thing.

If you feel there are areas of the game that need attention though, or specifically bugs you find troublesome (especially this as right now we are in the midst of a bug fixing publish) please feel free to email us or send a PM.
