Why cant we buy gold with ZEN?

as someone thats doing a lot of dungeons gold is fairly scarce now due to the cost of potions and injury repair kits and the small amount of silver i get from selling random greens and potions i find just isn't cutting it.

and I'd just love to be able to spend say 10 euros for a couple hundred gold so i don't need to worry about it for a while.

ps, yes i can just farm foundry mobs for greens for a few hours, but I'd rather just be able to buy gold with zen.

    well...you sir are the first person I have ever seen that has a need for more gold....I have like 23 on my level 41 cleric, and I have bought two mounts and all 5 basic companions. As a cleric, I rarely need pots, but still, I spent 20 gold and still have over 20 more extra I dont know how to get rid of. Then again, you potion chug alot so either you arent a cleric, dont get partied with a cleric, or always have bad clerics. I dont know what to say, but if they ever add more/better gear or other aspects to the game that cost gold, it would actually become a full fledged pay to win.

    I like to assume they are going to do something about the gold and it overall uselessness eventually.

    Not sure how successful they've been, but I've seen people selling Keys in chat for 25-30g each. It's not a direct "buy gold", but....

    You can buy (Greater) Stone of Health for Zen if you want healing.

    You can convert Zen to AD via the exchange, use the AD to buyout stuff from the "Treasure" category on the AH, then finally sell said "treasure" for gold. This does of course not guarantee much in the way of gold, but it's possible.

    come back again when you are lvl60 and running t2 dungeons frequently.

    The pathetic amt of copper and silver you picked up are just not enough for endgame potions and kits expenses.

    Running Tier 2 with a pug = cash pouring out of your pockets

    Running Tier 2 with a skilled premade group = Super Happy Farming Ville

    To get a skilled premade group, join a guild of likeminded people who live in a timezone that fits your playtime. You can most likely find several in the local Guild Recruitment section.

    Just sell Enchanted Keys. I see people spamming that they will pay gold for enchanted keys all the time in PE Zone chat.

    And for a lot of gold too??? Sometimes I see 1 guy spamming that he will pay 40g for 1 Enchanted Key??? Is he serious? 40g for $1.25???? Wow!

    Have fun as a cleric in dungeons at 60, and try not to facepalm too much when you remember posting this.

    Very successful, people buy them all the time - I've picked up a few myself.
