what is gold sink 0.o
its ok as long as they stay untradeable.
if they make it tradeable ... im gonna be pissed
Unless this new vanity has some sort of ap it looks like a waste of money. I already have 1/12 of the jester vanities..why buy this?
I just bought it today, no complain, so far so good.
P.S. I already have 1/16 of the jester vanities.
Imo its not a wise gold sink.
Nobody wants the recoloured lepregoblin hat for 500k which is the "rich poor vanity" out of the three. Everybody wants the armor.
Is it better to make a few pay a high amount or make a larger part of the community drain the gold?
I think option 2 is better.
Make the armor 500k, the hat plus the glasses 10m.
Let the ugliest and most useless part of the set be the vanity while allow the best part of the set to be the real gold sink accessible to all average players upwards so a larger player base can contribute to the gold sink. :)
Personally I don't like the look, so wouldn't even spend 500gold on it.
Do you like the look? Do you like to show off? If the answer to both is yes, I'd say buy it.
This is the dumbest gold sink. Only a noob would spend hard earned money on something which has no instrinsic nor resellable value whatsoever. This is such a half hearted gold sink it's almost sad.
If you want a gold sink, then you have to offer up something consumable that can be purchased with gold. Then people will buy and use it. Not something like potions as you need to allow farmers to still be able to earn money somehow. Easiest solution, make elixirs purchasable with gold, just make them very expensive. If a combo elixir was purchasable with 30 plat or 300k gold, you will see gold leave the system in a hurry ...
I'm guessing that elixirs are NOT the primary destination of plat, I'm sure opening crates is by far the biggest plat sink. Hence, why not make elixirs purchasable with gold. They are already dropping from crates and tradable anyway ...
This my idea, devs were just listening on our anti gold sink ideas on chatbox
The idea is that the very rich have a vanity to flaunt, vanity that cost quite a bit but is not tradeable to get some gold out of the players and back to STG
Right now i believe this vanity is the only item you can purchase directly from STG via gold and not platinum.
Each one of e'm bought fixes the gold sink a bit, regardless of looks (which i think are very unique and nice) its a good idea to support.
A successful gold sink will be something everyone wants and continuously draws gold. It can't be something necessary but something to add convenience. Maybe something like a health potion that refills a lot more hp but cost more than it should or a gear that is consumed if gold is not spent to refill time. A one time purchase item is a bandaid on a hole in a dam.

Upgrading gear is my gold sink...
Well, I for one love the Monocle and coughed up the 1m pretty quick to buy it with the top hat. I'm not rich enough to buy the vanity, but there are plenty of people out there that will by the vanity in multiples for the rest of their toons.
Cant just have one vanity after all.
These type of gold sinks are ideal. They dont affect the game directly in terms of playability but do allow people to spend their gold on something other than pets potions and gears.
Hopefully we'll see more unique vanities from Sir Spendalot in the future to keep the gold sink active.
I'd buy it if it didn't cost half my savings. It is a shame that dope monocole doesn't match jack except the 10mil plate for warriors.
I love how the first two vanities look. But that last one for 10 million, I just find it to be an ugly vanity. And it's for 10 million; even if I had that much, there is no way I would spend it on some weird looking vanity. Also, I don't see what I would gain from buying this vanity..
