They've basically been abandoned...They are AFK checking several times a day (me and forseti seem to be developing quite the rapport).

I see a GM every day at least once, often twice.

I also kept a loose list of the people I'd see almost 24/7, most of them (who I saw almost constantly in the spots I farmed) I havent seen since July when the crack downs began
How is that relevant to the current topic? The trillions are still out there, orny is inching closer to the 125 mark. Need a new system.

You're right, its more relevant to later comments on this discussion, but with that said, the clearing of the common afk zones is combating inflation, just without an instant fix,it just wont be felt in an immediate way...But something to consider, the second time I came to this server, about 5 (maybe 6, or 7, honestly the exact time is a little blury) an orny was 100kk + or - a few depending on the given thread, considering they are selling for 100-110kk now, it doesn't seem that big a deal...Hell, a SoT was over 70kk (admittedly they are more of a niche item now)...Hell, hammers are half the price they were, HRSKs are half the price as they were back then. This summer sashes dropped to around 35kk, they back to 45kk... My guild alone has absorbed 5 brand new players to the server, and there are quite a few more then that even...I guess my main point is, the GMs are combatting inflation, by reducing afking dramatically which will have an effect, given time.

Seems more like a natural ebb and flow to me. Plus, we just had an event that dropped a brand new, super desired item, so those people that have been collection for 10+ years are willing to inject a large sum of money to acquire some, meaning there's a ton of new fluid gold in the game that's moving around. That's to cause some, likely temporary, price fluctuation.

And in all reality 100kk isn't really that hard to farm up, but a DS event would suck some more money out, thats for sure.

u dont, he means he had sold 400kk worth of items on his vendor instead of putting the money in bags.

Hm maybe solve the problem with increase storage of bank to 1k items?

Then u can always put checks into bank and buy from Vendor?

Im not sure how hard it would be to change code wise but honestly adding 5mil checks and allow items to be sold on vendors at a higher price than the 125mil cap would be a nice quality of life change for demise. We are at a point where fixing the economy is likely impossible and there is enough items worth over 125mil in game that I think the change would be accepted positively in the community

Fixing the economy is very plausible. It would however require some drastic steps that would make a lot of us uncomfortable in the early stages.

it's not gonna change.

if you had a 5 mil check, and you break it into your bank, that would be 83 x 60k piles of gold..
if you wanted to change checks, you would have to change the max amount of gold in a pile too... then why not change the max items in the bank... why not the max in your pack.. why not. etc.

it has too many knock on effects..
they'll do a gold sink at some point.

If no one ever did anything because it was difficult than we would all be living in caves still.

it's not that it's difficult, it's that it's potentially damaging.

i would love a nice gold sink like new DS colors or something but honestly trading isn't hard, like mb said use items and buy them back, and as for holding gold, ive had 1kkk on a vendor before and its nice a convenient. Get the gold out that you need, when you need it. buy/sell everything on a vendor so all you have to do is get the gold off your vendor, it goes straight to the bank then buy the item off a vendor, no need for preparing tons of checks etc...

BUT like i said, I would love a creative gold sink and like he said inflation is getting pretty rough, i remember a time when ornies were only 50kk lol so gold does need to be handled

i dont think a gold sink is gonna work then the richest members have billions of gold and can easily control the market on high end items. But im all of giving it a shot, i still think 5mil checks would help alot stort term so people can trade high end items far easier.
