Guild Wars 2

money sinks are a good thing, and you’ll be glad they are as expensive as they are now, 6 months from now when they seem dirt cheap. in fact, i wish there were more money sinks, like a gambling house (with a daily limit of course), or betting gold on PvP whil Anet takes a cut for the gold sink.

I like that gold is a valuable limited resource instead of having so much wealth you can just throw it around like its nothing.

How are they going to look dirt cheap in 6 months when i dump all my money in them?

Sure i understand why there are money sinks, but especially repairing armor and traveling are both to costly imo atm.

Every mmo has gold seller. Does this one has more gold seller than other mmo? I don’t think any of us can give a definite answer…and that’s not something that we can do anything about other than not to buy gold.

Moneysink=inflation control…must like the expansive cultural armor. Neccesary mechanism as John smith stated.

TP. Does the price in this tp fluctuates more than other? If yes, by how much? Also, is it due to the game being new? In a game where you can sell without a fee, it’s easier to speculate…price fluctuates even more. Price difference of buy ans sell here due to the fees, most are roughly 15% or less else it’s an opportunity for profit. Offer below vendor price is not allowed…

So, anything else?

As Wazabi said just earlier, moneysink=inflation control. that’s why they’ll look dirt cheap in the future, due to inflation which is inevitable. goldsinks are a way to slow it down (since it’s impossible to stop). 6 months was just an arbitrary number.

Because of gold sink, you just have to be more careful on the purchases you make, or improve your efficiency in generating wealth. You can buy pretty much most gears from tp quite cheap thanks to competition. Mats are expansive because a lot of people are crafting. You don’t even need to buy anything and can still reach lv 80. My first purchase of gear from tp was at lv 80 as I know that’s gonna last me a while. It’s all about not being a spendthrift. If you insist on wanting to participate in activities that requires a lot of gold, you’ll just have to put in effort to earn it like in real life.

I don’t think you even need to play them arket or craft and sell tbh. While you play the game, gather, mine, chop to build up your collectibles, salvage the basics armor (maybe, if not vendor sell), vendor sell the weapons you get. That plenty money. You can quite easily raise 1g for your second manual and 2g before lvl60.

Money can be scarce if you don’t know how to make it. I have to postphone my grandmaster trait manual because of a stupid trade that causes me to loose quite a lot of money… just control your spending.

For everyone that complains that the economy is terrible, I’ll bet there are a few others that says otherwise. Just because you’re at the bottom end of the economic ladder doesn’t means its broken…maybe its just you?
