What's the point of postage fees and posting fees in guild stores? They don't seem to serve a purpose than to take hits at your gold pouch.

    To discourage people from spam posting stuff everywhere and to reduce the amount of gold in game.

    That pretty much is the purpose. It is a gold sink.

    Game economies don't work the same as real economies because there is a truly infinite amount of money in game. In order to help keep player driven prices on things from running away, there are systems commonly called gold sinks that remove wealth from the game. Things like listing fees, postal fees, horse training, respec fees, etc are such sinks.

    ^This. The game is constantly generating gold as loot from monsters, quest rewards and so on...there has to be a way to take it OUT of the system or the prices of everything not set by an NPC vendor rise...making it nigh-impossible for new players or people who leave for long periods to be able to buy anything and discouraging them from sticking around/coming back.

    Lol, wealth is measured by comparing others. Literally it is impossible for everyone to be wealthy.

    In economics (irl) money isn't suppose to be created or destroyed making each unit a very specific value. In the game, because currency is created, it is necessary for it to be destroyed, or else, each newly generated unit decreases every unit's value - leaving this unchecked creates worthless money, much like the german currency directly post WWI (used as wall paper it was so worthless)
