The Economy will NEVER get better... unless this happens

[Curvatwo]

Gold farming has effectively died, so ask yourself... Why are prices hyperinflating right now?

All high-tier items have 2-10x multiplied almost a full year after gold farming was effectively killed. The issue is that nobody deals in gold anymore, they deal in abstract concepts of what people might potentially buy in pure (even if that never happens)

Why don't people want Pure? There's a fundamental game flaw - when you can deal in abstracts and item trades - gold is worthless. We need a 3-tier solution

-Expensive
-Permanent
-Rewarding

but most importantly... ONLY purchased with PURE GOLD.

The current gold systems are either trivially cheap (potions, cs listing, Towne NPC items), not rewarding (outdated non-meta vendor sets), or not permanent (good gold sinks for events only)

I think enchantment is the only time STS got this concept right.

please make gold worth something again, ty
