    Light to medium gold buyer before changes to SP,
    No gold bought since and not buying till SP reverted.

    From personal experiance working with several companys and watching their growth, it seems PWI has missed an important point.

    The companys that survive are ones that have high volume, small profit per unit sale.
    This works because if one part of your market becomes unhappy you lose only a small part of your customer base and can be sustained during the low period of income.

    Low volume high profit per unit sale usually does great in the short term,
    but should one customer get annoyed and leave you risk losing the whole customer base for the same reason the first left.
    Most of these companys eventualy at some point make this mistake and die.

    When i see offers for rare mounts and flyers to people who spend $5000 to $15000 in such a short time and the developers offering content geared for people who have already paid large amount of money to get high lvl gears (and now only pay char in game maints. costs eg. charms etc.) rather than on the new customer base it worries me for this companys future.

    As too current gold coin prices, there are too many factors to list which affect the current prices, altering anything may not have the desired affect no matter what you do, the player base may respond by changing how they play e.g. more farming
    There are old Warriors, and bold Warriors,
    but there are very few old bold Warriors. b:chuckle

    My two cents worth with regards to the current low gold prices.

    Firstly as what had already been said, there are no worthy offers in the cashshop atm with the exception of perhaps dyes(which does have some demand but not as great as orbs and reps for example) and perhaps wildlife packs(since rest of the packs are way more expensive).
    Due to the previous sales, players are likely to benchmark the current prices vs previously released prices of items in cashshop which lead to players not charging zen to buy straight from cashshop or bidding for gold with coins to buy. Therefore price of gold goes down until another sale is released or the community can adjust to the new cashshop prices(takes a bloody long time if you ask me).

    Secondly, the prices of gold are also very much influenced by some merchants in pwi due the type of merchanting they are doing...i call it cashshop merchanting. These merchants have large amount of coins(hundreds of miilions) and gold(hundreds of them). Details of how this work, i leave it for you to find out yourself. With the current state of the cashshop, there are not much opportunities for these merchants atm, therefore it leads to further decline in prices of gold.

    Watch for the next sale launch tho i assure you gold will spike back to 1.4 and above if its anything like the previous rep or orbs sales.
