As stated several times before and on other threads, people dislike gambling their time farming loot. The reason so many players engage in gold farming is the fact that it pays out fairly, hence, it suggests that players find it rewarding. Again, its the reason the game is active right soon as gold farming was released. Plenty of players had fun just grinding all day, Mausoleum, ESG, DM, EVG, ESS, Rahab.
Both can co-exist, devs have been doing this for a while now by incorporating rare secret recipes/loot into events. Are you forgetting about the lucky looters who have made hundreds of millions from Siafara vanities? Renowned Wings? Pages? Badges? titles?
Also, "not many people play events anymore" narrative is so false. Developers have made a clever way to encourage players to play events, and this is by incorporating bound rewards that no amount of gold can obtain. e.g "Arcane Badge + Renowned Title" from the Crypts renowned Event, "Banner Badge + Bannerman Title " from the Bannerbash Event. I've seen huge activity from these events when they were released.
Developers can always balance the gold pumped in, and they've been doing several additions and changes to mitigate the effects of inflation, such as: Elite Portals receiving their 3rd nerf this year, 2x Awakening Events had happened so far this year, Additions of exclusive bound vanities for gold during the Easter event.
It's all about preference. Those who can find time will farm, while busy players will try their luck looting rares from events. Let us not force someone to gamble their time farming loot, and vice versa.
