Economy Opinions
Before crates were introduced most big plat spenders & even the average Joe would convert plat to gold
With the introduction of crates, the majority of those purchasing plat now decide to gamble on these crates.
This has lead to a pretty dried up economy for a number of reasons
- too many crate items in ah
- players undercutting each other paying ridiculous auction fees
- lowered prices & less incentive to open crates b/c nothing sells
- our biggest gold influx has diminished b/c players choose to open crates now which return back 0 gold
- expensive pet feeding at higher levels
- 1-2k daily quests/5 gold drops/liquidating items @ 5 gold is minisucle and does not provide the economy enough gold
So in short the amount of gold sinks in this game outbalances the gold coming back in.
For example:
Before - 500 plat ---> 500k gold
Now - 500 plat ---> Open 33 crates => 500k gold
As you can see in the example, there is absolutely no reason for anyone to convert plat to gold anymore.
The odds of making back the cost of 33 crates and 500k gold is far higher.
What i'm suggesting is an additional gold loot in place of the pink/arcane/mythic item.
Perhaps the rate will be set similar to looting a pink and one would loot a bare minimum 15k gold loot to upwards of 50k?
