In my opinion, gold loot is not the only problem in this game. There are multiple other issues in the game that are making it worse, but yes, gold loot is one of them.

I just came back from the game, so I do not know what happened between the time I left and the time I came back, but one thing I didn't like when I returned was that you could farm gold 24/7 in the level 81 elite maps now.

If I remember correctly, you had to wait for a portal to open to start farming gold back then. That was good. Why? Because it was regulated or controlled. Yes, portals were open 24/7 back then, but it took a while for them to open again when they closed, which means there's a time for the economy to recover instead of a constant flow of gold into the game.

The situation now is similar to when people farmed gold in elite underhaul maps back in the day. During that time, people could farm gold endlessly for as long as they wanted. And you want to know what happened? The prices in Arcane Legends skyrocketed.

One simple solution would be limiting gold farming to portal maps ONLY and adding a longer cooldown for the portals to open.
Other fixes such as:
- Adding more tax penalties to the auction for higher price-listed items.
- Adding gold sinks (*not gold circulation*) throughout AL.
- Increasing the drop rates of the Kraken items in chests OR have them drop in maps like Ebon armor.


If these suggestions above ever make it throughout AL, they can help with the inflation nowadays in the game.
But I feel it won't ever happen because it won't generate as much income for the company if these changes ever roll out.

Right now, the game's health is not too appealing. As a returning player, I am immediately turned off by how the game's state is. I cannot imagine how a new player starting from 0 would enjoy the game nowadays.
