Prediction for the AL Economy in the near future

[Synergia]

It has been discussed that the GL sets drop rate is too high.
Some people believe it is good, some people believe it is not.

Let me tell you why I think it is NOT good for the sake of the game.

First thing people don't always understand, is when you heavily grinding with GL, you are not just "making yourself richer", but you are also adding a certain amount of gold to the AL economy.

In the past years, only few people had GL sets with 460-500GL, and think about what happened during that time?
When GL was introduced, you could do alot with 1M gold.
Endgame newest gears + best pets + best vanitys could be all aquired for just 3-5 millions at most.
The same thing could be aquired now at the price of 1B gold (or around that).
So from 5M to 1B gold = x200 times the same worth of stuff at a different time period.
Imagine, how fast prices of everything will rise now when everybody can easily get huge amount of GL?


WHY I THINK THIS IS BAD FOR THE GAME?
1) Many people are waiting for kraken gears to drop.
I am personally grinding E Sunken for some kraken items daily but now when everyone can afford high gl, I believe that they will rise from now on.
Eventually they will drop, but unless kraken gears won't be easier to loot from locks, they will rise (from my experience)

2) If you think that some vanitys are expensive now oh boi just wait and see how far they will go.
I have seen people complain about Jupiter aura, Bliz aura and LB vanitys being expensive, withen few months I believe they will all rise in 30-50% (my guess).

3) Many people who invested alot of gold in their high GL sets, lost 85% of its value withen 2 days of winter.
Now don't say "It is always like that in winter" because it is NOT.
Last winter Ava belt was 40M (clean), and 60-80M right before previous winter event.
I bought clean Venal set last winter for 130M (very cheap at the time).
And look at the prices now?
IT IS understandable that during winter GL sets can drop, but during all the previous 5 years, I have never seen it drop by 80-85% and especially in 2 days of event.

CAN IT BE SOLVED?
The way I see it, the drop rates are high cause devs wanted all people to be able to get gold income since newer players can be having hard time getting gold.
So a suggestion that I believe can stop the crazy upcoming inflation that is around the corner, would be just decrease gold drops from all around the game.

RN with 900GL I can get 120K per a run in E sunken.
How about making it 40-50K per a E Sunken run with the same GL?
And ofc all other maps will be nerfed too.

that is just to avoid getting to the "10B gold just to buy gears" that I imagine happening in the not so far future

EDIT:
I have posted my opinion about the situation with examples.
Some people can not handle the truth, and accept that this is bad for the game.

If you didn't know, as of now its impossible for players to hold more than 999.999M gold, the game just simply does not support that.
Even if the gold cap is increased the max would be around 1.27B I believe.

SO if you all think that walking towards a path where you have to use 999M gold limit for any end game items and vanitys - enjoy
