I wish that the price of gold had a Cap so that people who cant afford gold have a chance to get 1 or 2 at 200k-300k.... the cap should be no more than 300k for gold then people who dont have credit cards and other means of getting prepaid cards can still get gold with game coins... thanks

    There is already a gold price cap, and we have not reached it yet.
    Too often we loose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and slap that mother#$@%#^! upside the head.

    The higher price of gold reduces demand for it. If you capped the price of gold, you would have more demand than supply. The gold purchasing window would be empty on the top half, while the bottom half would have tens or hundreds of thousands of offers to buy gold at the cap price.

    Instead of complaining that gold was too expensive, people would be complaining that their offer at the cap price was so far down the queue that it would be weeks if not months before they ever saw any gold. As painful as the high price is, it is better this way.

    The cap is 1m coin per gold, I believe?

    and yes, when we hit it, people will just stop selling gold in the AH and will sell items via catshop and WC instead.

    lol, ah isn't the only way to get gold, higher prices is wat the gm's want so more ppl will be tempted to buy gold from real $. if they capped it, ppl wouldn't worry about having to go buy gold w/ a cc.

    but the gm's r greedy and wont do anything about it cause thats more $ in their pocket. not to mention its funny how gold prices go up, and they after gm's come out w/ the aniv packs for 3 months in a row

    If they cap the price of gold then they should also cap the price all items can be sold in the AH for.

    People want cheap gold but they then want other players to pay the equivelant of $30+ for one TT mat.

    So sure cap the gold at 200k but also cap the price of mats at 1mil b:victory
