Take gold coin out of game to fix rampant inflation

[Ozzymandeus]

I was specifically refering to the start of the post and the suggestion there be no gold coins at all, which is clearly silly.

I think you misunderstood. No-one is suggesting removing gold coins from the game entirely.

As thing stands, there are multiple sources that add coins to total in the game but, correct me if I am wrong, only two sources that subtract from that total (moving/upgrading buildings and buying specialists). Both of these methods are inherently limited in scope. What is being suggested is not removing the concept of gold coins from the game, but rather introducing more methods which subtract from the number of coins in circulation in order to bring down the rate of inflation.

Fair enough. The majority of posts now that I re-read them all refer to adding more ways to spend coin. And on this I completely agree. More options is good. In other threads I've seen suggestions to add more specialists to the tavern at escalating costs and smiliar ideas to offter choices for spending. The posts in this thread about trying to cap/control pricing in the TO I think lept out at me more, and is clearly not what most players think.

By all means - more things to spend coin on would be good for many reasons. Let's hope they listen.

Just realized I hadn't replied to my own post.

Brayarg makes a good point in so much as the adjusted gold refills, will make a small difference though i doubt it will be significant.

As for the smaller players commenting, you seem to think that this idea will disadvantage you but it won't. Pro rata, smaller players get quite large coin drops for levelling and quests compared to the bigger players. The problem you have, is that that coin isn't worth very much.

As a number of other players have said having coin sinks (particularly for vanity items) would go some way to restore the value of coin. After all remember coin doesn't really DO anything it is there as a currency and therefore convenience. As some ppl have said if it is not sorted out then some other resource will become the de-facto currency.
