2 More issues I'll point out is 1: new players are relying on end game players to farm for them so they are able to make gold. A new player is unable to farm the main gold making maps unless they join random in elite indigo and follow people to the boss that clear the map for them. You can't farm for your self anymore, new players have been relying on end game players to farm for them for years.
I understand AL is a "multiplayer" game but theres a difference in having to have people farm for you and you being able to farm for your self. Some players do get toxic and annoyed when they have to help random players who are unable to provide any assistance to the map and I see it happen alot.
No this isn't me complaining about new players; having new players is a good thing. Its me complaining that they aren't able to enjoy the game by being able to do maps on their own without having to have people help them. Because not everyone is going to be able to find people to help them and they get stuck unable to do anything. *Being forced to have to find people to run maps for them as they follow behind.*
Literally the only way to make gold in 2025 consistently.

Issue 2: the economy.
Your gold influx is insane. Lets take a look at some estimations, say 1000 people farm elite indigo every 5 minutes. Say those 1000 people loot on an average of 45k gold per run. That results in 1000 times 45000 which is 45million gold every 1-5mins. That results in 13-60BILLION gold added to the economy every day. Not sure if these numbers are accurate or close but since the playerbase seems to be 40k people daily- atleast 1k of them are farming maps. The inflation is becoming insane.
My suggestion to fix: Lower gold drops slowly over time instead of increasing with each and every new map. Or something interesting, in the next expansion make gold loot useless overall for a year then make it useful again. Some story about how an evil presence has disabled gold loot for an entire year, the only way to make gold now is to farm jewels, farm rare items from bosses, farm items from the bosses to complete crafting recipes that take months to gather supplies for. I wished you guys would do another mauso type expansion except make it item based loot each floor you unlock instead of increasing gold drops.
I mean if you have enough data to know what players are capable of make some type of world quest where we have to do something to unlock gold loot for Arlor again rather it be spend x amount of gold towards the void on store items, pet food, awake gems, any thing that results in gold being deleted in the void, have a world craft off event where we supply items to an npc as a community to craft the "Gold Chrysus" statue who had been melted down by the evil.
Millions of crafting pieces that must be supplied by many players like some other games have.
The game economy has multiplied by thousands over the past 10 years. Thats not good at all, honestly we shouldn't be needing to spend almost and over our player gold cap of 999m on 1 weapon.
