Pretty good idea, I like your suggestion on only allowing lower levels to farm at dm. But I can't help but ask why would anyone level up then if they can already make gold without leveling up? And by extension, would there then be any need at all for an expansion/new gears, and therefore income for sts?

Perhaps you wanna elaborate further? I can see it may be a viable option.

If your sole purpose is to farm gold in game then I don't see reason in playing virtual games at all. Might aswell go get a job and work extra hours for real money. I play for fun and I don't care about my wealth in game. Just by running events throughout years, doing aps in efficient way has earned me a lot of wealth so I don't need to mindlessly run same map over and over again.
From your answer Ive come to conclusion that this game is already corrupted, all you players see now is gold and vanities. There is no fun anymore, all you want is to farm gold and accumulate more wealth for 0 reason. Just by playing the game without gold loot you can easily afford those new mythics so I really can't see why everyone is so stressed about gold loot nerfs. I think it makes 0 sense that level 81 player runs lvl 66-71 map all day long and earns more gold than players who run level 81 maps. You can't buff gold loot in lvl 81 maps so that leaves only 1 solution, nerf the other maps. Its not like they are taking away your precious gold loot, they just balance the game. Every game does that and thats how it should be. And for those who complain about item prices, it was your investment, if you invest in wrong stock are you going to complain about it to someone?
But I agree, game will die when gl keeps on getting nerfed, for 4 expansions we have gotten only gold loot content and now taking it away from players piece by piece is not acceptable for most people. Gold loot is the reason why people started quiting this game, and now taking it away from the people who enjoy gold loot will give it a final blow. I don't think there are any new players coming in either, Ive played this game since 2012 and I only see same names in event zones.

Also the guy who ran 100 times pirate map with 70% luck and got 3 chests, either they nerfed the f out it in past 2-3 months or you were just incredibly unlucky. I did all 1000 maps (except maus) few months ago with heroic timur + luck pendant (should also be 70%, I might have had elixir on aswell, not 100% sure), I saved up all my chests until 1000 runs were finished and I always had 200-300 chests and it took me only 2-3 days per map. Elite udim field I did in 1 sitting, its very fast map, takes around 20-30s to finish once you learn boss spawn locations + it has most expensive chests. There are also some legendary weapons that the bosses drop that might sell for 10-30k each which adds up aswell.
