Aggressive Gold Sinks

[Selova]

WoW tried making a gold sink mount in a 20,000,000 gold spider and few takers on it. Mostly due to the RNG of the vendor even spawning and the fact it couldn't fly. I could see something like a vendor with exclusive items that have a hefty cost for nice items but maybe having 10,000,000 being the highest would be best. Anything higher might encourage RMT.

The spider you're referring to is 2 million not 20. Also, the cost would have to be much higher than 10 imo. Even for newer players on fresh 70's that's not hard to obtain.

I stand corrected, I haven't touch WoW in over a year and only ever saw the merchant once.

Player with too much gil: Oh boy, I can buy these immediately!
Middle of the pack player: I'll never be able to buy these...
Subs one month every three months player: Buys gil, buys gil sink mount, takes 9999 selfies, unsubs (again), generates 100 new gil bot accounts

I'd like to see already obtainable hard to get items available for gold. Things like Gaius and the card tournament cards that people win trade for anyway, and the yo-kai mount that is tedious to grind. If the items are only obtainable with gold then people would cry way too much about not being able to afford it. People would cry either way but a little less if the items can be obtained in other ways.

Gil sinks, yes please.

That said, one time vanity gil sinks are not the way to go. Yes, they take a big chunk out of some deep pockets right away but a far more efficent sink is a repetitive one that impacts the broader populace. Give us expensive consumables in the veins of cordials and potions. Let us trade larger gil amounts for MGP at higher loss rates. Make an item that increases overmeld % chance success and have us buy that. Basically make things every player can appreciate and get gil from everyone.

Gil sinks for the ultra rich...hmm, let you pay for extra retainers in in game gil maybe?

You really don't need a ton of gil for a lot of things in this game and that's fine. Capped on gil with nothing else to do in game? Go take a break.

Inflation is only a problem when there are a lack of crafters/gatherers interested in playing the market. Just like someone else mentioned in this topic. This is a player issue and not a game issue.

[Awha]

Please let us buy larger amounts of MGP. I am far too lazy to farm the MGP, but I certainly have more then enough gil. I wish this game provided more vanity items so I can have something to spend my Gil on.

You could always start handing gil out to new players....because I can tell you right now....just because YOU can make gil like crazy...and know of OTHERS who can..doesn't mean EVERYONE can.

Generosity can have a major impact on the game.

Thing is it so wrong to have items for those that have the money? Also what would we gain giving money away to others? If they add a vendor that has items that we can purchase for large amounts of gil we get something out of it. Giving someone money for no reason is certainly not something many will be interested in.

Why does this game need gold sinks? WHy does gold need to matter at all?

It's a interesting idea but as others have said this would only benefit a small amount of the population. And in all honesty the OP idea is doomed to fail because the items your suggesting will be found on mog station.
