Multiple dupes, exploits and even the killquests up until now pumped money into the playerbase. Reducing the gold gain only hurts new players or not-yet-rich players. There is no real goldsink in the game, flying is canceled out by killquests, meaning players will still keep their money and inflation is only reduced, not stopped.

That being said, I don't think this issue should overshadow the work you've done. Thank you very much

+1 its one step forward two step back. So much work and confusion for a thing that wasn't broken in the first place. Completely unnecessary change and devs reasoning for it is pure bollocks too.

"You shouldn't be able to get as much xp/gold in lower tiers because... you shouldnt, even though it's healthy for the game"

"M-MUH progression"

Except it's not. The 'new players won't make any gold' argument is laughable in the face of knowing that the old players have already farmed hundreds of gold out of the exponential gains of the killquests, while new players will probably not have been able to farm enough to get to a similar, decent amount of gold. Continuously letting an exponential gold generation be allowed, while it's being pumped into an already gold-satisfied market, will only increase inflation and make crafting necessities such as materials, potions and talismans even further out of reach from them.

There is already a difference in the amount of gold you make per tier, which is there intentionally. You will make more gold as you go through the tiers, to cover flight expenses, low-tier talisman and potion costs. Allowing T1 players to gain 8 gold in a run doing T3 quests, while T3 players get the same amount, simply shouldn't be happening. They will have to do the T1 quests, for T1 rewards. It's as if you were to award people T3 influence for being in a T1 RvR lake.

And it is selling from time to time. I can't imagine, who really can collect such gold amount from killing quests )

A small amount over a long period of time adds up. I guess putting 5% of your salary aside to pension is pointless too, since it's only a small amount each month.

And gold does mean something. Pots, respecs, BiS purples, and talismans. How can you say any of those don't matter, when they clearly do? They increase your stats. This is a stat-based game.
