Gold Buying Experience

I think the most viable solution that has a chance to get approved by the chinese devs is to implement an npc that periodically offers certain "power" items for trade. The NPC would allow you to pay 5 million coins for say, 1 "royalty badge". Limit this to 1x/day.

Then one month they might offer a trade of 100 nebula dust orbs for 15 royalty badges. Another month might give a dragon orb ocean for 15 royalty badges.

This would limit the flow of power items into the game, and also force the "daily log-in" that the China devs seem to be so obsessed with, while also providing a decent coin sink without completely upending the economy.

Heck, maybe even make it a short errand quest to promote activity. That way it "feels" like a game.

The issue is that I feel like the Event Gold shop would be the perfect solution, like providing a conversion from coins to event gold. But PWE sort of messed that up during DQ rewards and now China is too afraid to deal w/ event gold because some people have thousands stockpiled.

It's also worth noting that gold in PWCN is typically around 1m. But stuff in the boutique costs like 5 times more gold there. They never have to deal with the AH cap so it's only an issue that affects us.​​

AH cap only affect us because our boutique contain way more endgame items then pwcn boutique does
