or… they are a person who realizes people play more efficiently then they did in 2005 during the original vanilla and would prefer an authentic economy as opposed to an artificial economy.
You want to combat inflation by removing gold. Then add gold sinks to the game. Don’t just remove gold. pretty simple honestly.
EDIT: Here is an idea… why not add the store mounts into the game on a vendor… probably an ethereal… and each of those mount cost 100k for a limited amount of time before they are gone. This would cause a majority of people with that ton of gold to get rid of it for these mounts… Alternatively instead of the store mounts use the TCG mounts.
I still don’t believe anyone actually has 100k… as every day people seem to add an extra 0 to things… I swear next week they will claim people have 5 million already to buy longboi.
