It's time to get rid of the copper

Look, the secret of most production mints is that the value of the copper has sunk so low, it costs more resources for mobs to generate copper upon death than the coin is worth.

We need to commit to a plan of action to take copper coins out of circulation in order to promote a healthier economy. Starting with NPC vendors, who will accept copper coins, but will round up change to the nearest silver, with discrepancies valuing the customer.

In this way, we can create a natural sink for copper, and as we discourage mobs from producing copper upon death, less coins will also enter circulation.

In about two years time we can fully exit this bloated and worthless coin from our central economies and save a lot in Brutosaur food.

Get rid of copper. Add platinum.
New order: silver > gold > platinum.

I’m as Canadian as you sound but even i question the merit of eliminating a currency that’s worked. Why fix something that isn’t broken?

You’re the one making the suggestion, so i’m asking you.

Actually I was just copying Everquest’s money system! Silver was the low coin, and platinum was the high.

And Everquest copied D&D’s.

But while Wow isn’t EQ, the copper still functions in the economy and they existed in D&D too.

Tho’ Canada got rid of the penny in 2012 and rounds up to the nearest nickel, so it could work.

You fool! You absolute imbecile! Don’t you realise that platinum can just be mined in kul tiras and zandalar? Look what happened to the price of gold and silver bars in classic. It absolutely tanked because of engineering debasement. People will just go do old, easy content to mint coins!

The real scam is that silver and gold aren’t actually real. It’s all copper coins with paint on them! (actually close to the truth… Somewhat)

Get rid of Copper, replace with Blizz Bucks :dollar:

I had Garrosh Hellscream personally value my coins as legal tender. They have his face on them, after all. But not the copper, that’s Vol’jin.

Nah toss out gold and silver instead. Replace it with more copper!

Copper - Copper+ - Copper Ultimate - Copper 2.0

((blizz actually told us once that it is all copper. Showing as silver/gold is just a ui thing. You’re actually paying for everything in coppers))

No wonder wow doesn’t have any built-in plumbing. All the copper keeps going into coinage.

It only takes 30 coppers to mail a plain letter in the WoW mail. Would rather pay that than a silver. Attachments to the mail cost per item. If you used silver that could total up to some gold quickly. I like copper. :slight_smile:

Well your memory is short because EQ had copper. I destroyed plenty of copper back in the day because of the weight it added.

By the way you guys are lucky money doesn’t have weight like it did in EQ. All gear in your inventory had weight.

I need copper to smelt together with tin to make bronze though.

I’m not sure if it’s the same, but back in classic plate was far more expensive than cloth to repair because it was assumed that plate wearers would just die less… yep.
