    Make the reward for high level tiger quests worth the price of the tiger badges you have to buy, and one of the existing coin sinks will be used more.

    A few of us commented that putting gold price cap at 500k will not prevent players from buying gold above it. True, but not entirely true.

    PWE can easily put a cap at 500k if they set an NPC that sells gold at 500k each.
    (e.g. Quest Related > Converts 500,000 coins to 1 Gold)

    But of course... not gonna happen, because that would drive cashshoppers and serious merchants out of the game.

    I fail to see your logic

    Then again, perhaps I should read the whole thread to find "A few of us"

    Yup, the price is that high because people like you are willing to pay that much.


    Don't kid yourself. You're no selfless hero, championing the rights of the poor man.

    You want prices to magically be lower, and the only way they'll do that is by banning anybody but you and your friends from buying the things that you guys want.

    The reason you're upset is simply because you hate competition, because competition buys the things that you want, and thus raises the price.

    At the moment, that would kill the game, because the NPC price of Regular+Best Luck Tokens from Easy Rider Packs works out to about 640k per Gold.

    So effectively, you'd have an NPC quest that only costs 500k, but then pays 640k plus a 1.5% chance of an elite item. The game economy would hyper-inflate and die within less than 1 day, since everybody would just keep taking the quest again and again and generate infinite money.

    True, I certainly wouldn't be playing the game if somebody who doesn't understand simple economics ended up completely destroying it.

    "The fact that all endgame gear is cash shop exclusive and NOT available without gold, is fundamentally wrong."

    Excuse me? All endgame gear can only be obtained with cash shop gold? So only rank 8 and rank 9 gear count? What about all that TT99 or nirvana I've seen people with before b:laugh.

    I've seen venos, clerics, and barbs with TT90 green at lvl 100 who are well loved by their faction and get invited to BH100s and Nirvana runs. Omg, people who aren't 5 aps getting invited to nirvana, who would have guessed XD.

    I made most of my TT90 armor by running TTs with my friends and getting a share of the mats. I'll admit that I put in some real money for my TT90 AA top. It cost 7 mil in the AH and I was like "OMG gotta have it right now!". Were I not lazy as I am, I could have matfarmed or farmed TT, and used the money to buy it myself X3.

    At lvl 100, there dosen't sound like there is much more to do than BH100s, Nirvana runs, making new alts/trying to finally make more money. And dueling people when bored XD.
