Whats with that gold hype!?!?!

[val]

For some time I notice that trading in the server is done solely on the principle of gold for items. Аnd the logical question that I ask myself is: why you need all this gold? Is it connected with the near future reset or something else........ Аt first I thought it is a way to raise money to maintain the server (witch is good!), but over time more and more players recognize gold as the universal currency in the server (witch in my opinion is bad and ruin the experiance a lot) So whats your thoughts on that one?

Like you said, future reset. Ladders been out a while, 90% of people have everything they need... So they have no reason to trade for items which will eventually be worthless on reset. So they trade for gold to prepare for next reset.

It's a double-edged blade, on one hand a lot of these people would prob stop playing if they couldn't farm for gold as they would have no reason to do it which would greatly reduce the existing community. On the other hand it kinda destroys the spirit of the ladder, as certain people will have a massive head start killing the notion of a "fresh start".

So you are telling me that after the reset they will keep their gold??!!?? If so, thats not a briliant idea. So i`ll just sell all my gear for gold and wait for the reset...... I dont know why have to play now, since the stuff that i want are sold only for gold.... We need a change in that one, cuz if we keep that situation for some people the reset isnt going to be a true fresh start.....

P.S Not only that gold is a universal currency, it will become THE ONLY ONE!

pay2win boyz need gold

Gold wont be away after reset. Imagine the ppl get told that all their spent real money is deleted at the start of a ladder. Then we have like 1-2 months of an active ladder until every item is as worthless as a el rune. Then everybody stops playing and noone ever will trade for gold that is erased one day.

= no more money for the admins = no more reason to run a server with consistent updates.

In my opinion, gold should be disabled for at least 1-2 weeks after the reset, everybody should have a fair chance at start.

We did remove some things from the vendor for a week at the beginning of last reset, we will most likely be doing the same, for that exact reason.

remove for at least 2 months, 1-2 weeks is nothing

Then you wouldn't be allowed to spend gold for half the ladder.

That would require the reset to occur only once a year if this were to happen.

I'm not a fan of the current gold system either as it ''makes people quit'' within 1-2 months of the ladder and just wait 4-5 months for the reset to happen before coming back or investing much of their time

Again, it's not the gold system. The ladder system is the problem.
