Gold sink and the solution- Myth or Reality?

[Hiosahaf]

I read it all and the best features I thought were:
-Limited crate vanities (3k or so. Can backfire though)
- The NPC thing and introduction of discontinued weapons..

Basically I am against crate popping and I do feel that they should eradicated, removed, banished, poofed from the game forever.. STS should do it once they have a bigger base! But right now, their major earner is their biggest bet at the gold sink. It's just that the dmg elixir was.. not so good for a replacement.

I posted this on a similar thread in suggestions

Make an event to open crates with gold couple times a season

Of course there would be an over saturation of loots after that which would have an adverse effect but it would also take a lot of gold out of economy and lower prices for certain items and exchange a lot of gold. Those with a gold surplus would have the greatest chance of getting the most of it but it would also let casual players either open for gear or sell to the highest bidder. The gold would trickle down. The adverse effect would be an abundance of useless gear for a long period of time but if later in the season new gear was injected it would spice things up. Also the ones that make out on opening a lot of crates would have a nice stash of coveted items which they might try to sell for a premium after the event, but one could argue the surplus in the economy would drive the pric down due to supply and demand.

I don't know much about economics or the economy of al but if they did this with advance announcement and towards end of a season I think many people would be happy

I think STS wants to avoid having people gamble with their gold. Back in seasons 1 & 2, before locked crates existed, I can remember some players spending all of their gold on elite golden chests only to strike out and not loot the best items, and then they quit the game in rage because they had nothing left. Spending your plat in this manor does not produce the same result since you still have all your items and gold and there is still motivation to try even if you did not loot a good item.

When you spend plat, you are gambling your real life money and not your money in the game. When you gamble your gold in the game, you run the risk of getting angry and quitting.
