That's exactly what people said when they heard the gold cap is rising from 99M to 999M

"Hear me out on the gold bars! Elite maps in every expansion naturally inflate the gold pool, which is kind of necessary. We need that flow to keep the game exciting, right? Stagnant gold wouldn't encourage players to spend on all those awesome event vanities.

Gold bars could be a fantastic solution! They'd not only help manage this inflation but also make trading much smoother, especially with the upcoming Elite Elderwood expansion. Plus, let's ditch the worries about a 'broken economy.' Gold's value, like real-world currency, naturally fluctuates. It's a healthy part of a dynamic in-game economy!"

They're done, but we need to add backend tracking of gold bars as gold before we release them since we track gold flow.

Previous discussions are here and here.
