Look at the truth very few of the game developers are GM's and honestly the ones that are don't care. The GM's are just the mouth pieces for the developers and they know only what they are told.

Sadly yes the American economy is fail anyone who lives here knows it hence why we are hundreds of billions in debt.

Want to blame someone blame your guildies, blame your buddy with +8 fully immaculate gear they control what you pay for gold cause they buy it and put it up everyone has a gold merchant of some sort in there guild so go blame them they are ripping you off just as much and oh really blame the guilds who own most of the map they control the gold market more than you know.

You want to blame the GM's blame them for not being honest "We are working to fix the problems in the game's Economy" But in the end even this isn't there fault GM's go tell your bosses to stop telling you lie's they make you look bad

As for you that say hey just go grind be happy with what you got, to honestly be happy in a game you have to have a chance now and then to do the special stuff no matter if you can charge gold or not "and this is coming from someone who can buy gold if they need it" A well rounded game give's everyone even the noobs a chance to at least try to do the new stuff.
Plus honestly everything is controlled by the price of gold if its on the AH its priced by the gold on the AH. If it's the merchants making money off of matts its based on what those merchant need to get there gold and now they will be hitting those limited mining location even more so not everyone can go and mine for cash. US are based off of matt's so TT matt's are based off of AH gold price so honestly you can't enjoy the game to much when even your money you grind for begins to have no meaning unless your a gold merchant.

So honestly its not the GM's fault it is all on the player. The only thing the GM's are honestly at fault for is like any other MMO they don't police the market which has to be done or yes gold will keep going up everytime something new or cool comes out and no GM's prices dont go back to normal,
Normal at first was about 150k then Jolly came back out and it was epic fail normal became 200k now with prices so high normal will be 300k plus after it calms down why you ask because that has always been the way of economy need a clue look at gas once you get use to high prices a little cut in price seems cheap.

So players honestly deal with it or leave sooner or later everyone here will find another mmo they like more and then only the hard core player will remain if that will be enough to keep the game going only time will tell and honestly only if the Dev's really care.They are the ones who make the cash anyway so blame them not the GM's there job is hell anyway they get the blame and none of the glory

    If I were the leader of a company for a free to play MMO with a gold trading system, I probably would not attempt to "police" the system. Why? Because which is worse from a business aspect? Letting your paying customers get the most benefit or the non-paying ones? Obviously from a business aspect that question is a bit pointless to ask. Its the paying ones.

    Also one interesting thing. If the official gold trading system were policed, then its more likely players would skip buying gold from the official company and would likely just buy from gold farmers. Have you ever noticed there really aren't that many gold farmers present? I certainly haven't seen one advertising in ages. Clearly there really isn't a point when the in-game system is sufficient.

    For the record, yes, I am a player who occasionally buys and sells gold in gold trading. However I always sell to the highest requester for gold in the bottom green list. I never put it for a ridiculous price in the top list.

    Whether or not you want to call me greedy - that's fine. But don't be stupid in your attempt to think the company should try to police others just because you want cheaper prices. That too is a form of greed after all.

    I try to avoid politics on game forums, I debate them enough elsewhere already but this isn't really accurate. A good or bad economy doesn't determine how many billions in debt we are (btw it's trillions not billions, for both the deficit and debt).

    The debt is a compilation of all deficits from previous years combined. It started as 0 when the country was founded, and totally paid off under Andrew Jackson in 1835. Since then it has grown every year.

    The deficit is how over budget we are each year, in almost all years there's a deficit, and it's caused by spending more than we take in.

    A better economy can potentially yield more taxes which allows the government to spend more money, but the state of the economy isn't a requisite for a deficit (leads to higher debt) or a surplus (leads to less debt if applied to it, leads to equal debt if not applied to it).

    GMs are paid professionals and they have their responsability so, if the devs are lazy, they should solve this or find better devs

    Yeah, an uncontrolled economy crashes and burns. Which in the real world is bad, because people die.

    In a game world - people just quit. Which is still pretty bad if you're the one running it.

    So yes, you should police your economy.

    I agree they could police the gold trading and things in a small way that leaves it where the players still have a right to put the price as they like but there is a max to how high they can go at min how high gold prices can go.
    If they do not watch the game economy it doesn't matter how much new blood they bring in it will just crash and burn because in this type of game you must watch the economy of the game as well....
