How much gold does everyone has in bank?
I believe the game can use more gold sink.

    There’s a reason for that. The players who use the forum are overwhelmingly 3+ years playing this game, most of whom are probably in trading guilds that facilitate accumulation of gold and/or multiple characters that do the same.

    So no, the game does not need more gold sinks.

    @starlock the counts have changed, but when I posted I was referring to 3 "I choose not to answer votes." It was a joke about poverty shame.

    I'm just over 4 mil at the moment. I've been pretty poor for most of the first 4 yrs playing, but I ran out of things to buy. Once I bought a vast majority of the motifs, I kinda ran out of things to spend my money on. I harvest my own mats and sell my gold tempers, wax, and Rosins when I get above 100 of them.

    The cash eventually just seems to accumulate.

    I tend to try and keep about a mil in a bank for if something particularly good comes around and i really want it and i have a limited window to buy it. anything on top of that is usually me saving up for specific housing or motif related purchases. when i hit 5 mil mark, I go shopping and then begin the cycle of saving again. because my purchases nowadays number in millions, i kinda have to save up before shopping.

    main character usually carries half a mil on her for incidental impulse buys/lux furniture purchases. everyone else is under 10k

    My elf's an adventuress, neither merchant (no guild bank) nor artisan (no interest in writs). Her income is from questing and adventuring so the actual gold coming in is modest but regular. The reason her gold balance is healthy is that she's been doing it for a long time and spends little. Almost no outgo for housing/furniture/motifs. Her biggest gold sink is the occasional purchase from the weekly Golden Vendor in Cyrodiil - usually for an otherwise hard to get monster helm.

    I think that the massive gold sink that is the guild vendor system pulls more than enough gold from the game. I haven't noticed any real spike in inflation on any common items.

    Every few days, I gold out a build to test in PvP, only to be disappointed most of the time and return to my tried and tested stuff. Must have used up at least 5mill on failed tests.
