No, what you are actually asking for is to screw those of us who farm and trade so you can have a cheaper more easily obtained supply.
You would take from one player to give to your self. We all have the same chance and methods to get golds. Either farm more or buy them. I have no problem having enough golds, I have stacks to sell, feel free to buy some.7 -
Austinseph1✭✭✭✭✭Its pretty well balanced for gear/weps, the jewelry is still expensive af but its probably supposed to be that way considering the dust is 1/10 as useful as the other types.0 -

Jewelry is supposed to be expensive so as to not trivialize vet content and the gold jewelry you can get.Edited by Skwor on August 16, 2019 6:20PM5 -

✭✭✭✭✭Player: Stuff is hard for me to get. Make it easier.
Other players: You could do X, Y or Z in order to acquire these things you like.
Player: Naw, I think ZOS needs to make it easier, but thanks for the useless advice I never asked for.Edited by redspecter23 on August 16, 2019 6:19PM9 -

✭✭✭✭✭It is a temporary increase in demand for the gold upgrade matts when desirable gear hits the game. Wait a short time and the price will come down or get off your duff and get your own gold matts for free.
How do you get free gold upgrade matts by getting off my bumm and actually work to get them you ask? Crafting writs for starters are a great way to get them. Harvest matters and refine them. I have over 500 at any given time and sell the excess for gold so I can say this works extremely well.
Edit: being a solo player is pretty irrelevant.Edited by idk on August 16, 2019 6:31PM1 -
ATomiX69✭✭✭✭I got over 1.5k units of each gold material (besides jewelry where I have around 150 platings)
And that by just doing crafting writs every day on multiple chars / do crafting surveys / buying cheap stuff and reselling.smurf account
New PvP content when?
Better cyro performance when?

When you say this you mean it's takes more time than you personally want it to.
Maybe I want all vet trials to be easier because I personally find them too hard at the expense of all players who enjoy that challenge.
Maybe I want 3 million AP per hour for doing undaunted pledges because I personally don't like pvp.
People here have described viable ways for you to get what you need and you've dismissed them all. I'd say the problem lies with you, not the availability of what you're looking to acquire.4 -

I spend my time efficiently as a solo, I am not interested and do not care about the community.
So if you think this request is self centered, its because it is. I do not see a not to suffer tedious amounts of side stuff just to upgrade gear.

I'm pretty sure at this point the OP is mainly talking about Gold Jewelry mats. Then again it'd be nice if people like you, who claim to have stacks sitting around, would list them at not so bank breaking prices. The average joe player doesn't have millions lying around collecting dust, I've seen many players say they emptied almost their entire balance just to gold out some gear.CP2,000 Master Explorer - AvA One Star General - Console Peasant - The Clan

Mostly jewelry, but I liked previous iterations of the game where gold mats were easier to acquire before the trade guilds and community put a damper on solo play.
I think its very unnecessary to gate basic things like upgrade mats behind an entire trade system.
Id like to see them become easier to acquire.

I said I dont care about trials. So I do not care if it cheapens the perceived "rewards" of trials.
I also said I dont care about what others do.1 -

They're already ridiculously easy to acquire, even for a strong, independent solo player who don't need no community.
If that's too hard you, well, tough luck.2 -

But again, that has nothing to do with the statement you quoted.
Further, you can get it from doing writs and as the comment you quoted indicated, Zos does not want it to be as easy to upgrade jewelry as it is to upgrade armor and weapons. It really is that simple.1 -

This makes no sense. It seems Zos is making pretty good money.
Unless you are complaining because you do not make good money from selling gold jewelry matts, which seems to be what you are talking about, then I would like to point you to the OP and title of this thread. It is not about jewelry crafting gold matts itself but gold upgrade matts in general.0 -

No, I want a drop increase so I can gold out my gear in a sufficient and timely manner.

No, I want a drop increase so I can gold out my gear in a sufficient and timely manner.
and that is not an issue. I easily obtain enough gold matts from running 4 characters through writs and I probably get a little bit from the hirelings on each one. Ofc, in that I end up getting a bunch of raw matts via surveys that provide the bulk of the gold upgrade matts. It is really fast to do this.
I tend to keep 500 of each type of gold matt and sell the surplus. When I upgrade new gear (obviously on demand) I find I quickly get back up to 500 matts. Of course this does not include jewelry but as I stated above Zos has JC setup to be less common.
I keep multiple characters in gold gear so this would work well even if you have only one character. Of course it takes time to build up a storage of gold matts but wanting anything easier would seem more like entitlement.0 -

✭I make sure to keep 24 wax, 16 alloy and 16 rosin just so in case I feel so inclined can gold the good bits of a new set. I get those pretty much from writs and refining, very very rarely have to buy0
