We have had a problem for a long time. The problem does not seem to be being addressed, and the problem is clearly getting much worse, especially on PCNA. Now it is so blatant that you can't go a day without seeing gold spammers advertising gold for sale in zone chats for less than three bucks a million. Sure you report them but there are more, every day. The inflation is absolutely rampant one everything in game and we are at the point where the entire economy is pretty much broken. I sold a simple motif that is a drop from a basic mobs for 500k a few days ago. It's crazy and it needs to be fixed.

Let me be clear on what the problem is.
ESO ON PC HAS SOME SORT OF GOLD DUPE BUG.
I could go into detail as to why every other explanation I have read is clearly bunk (crafting writs, lol, yea, that's why gold mats are getting so expensive, because crafting writs clearly account for a higher percent of the gold in game than the gold mats so when you do more the mats cost more) (Crown sales, lol, that sure explains why consoles aren't having the issue) but nobody wants to read all that. We need some answers from the admins on how then intend to fix this economic problem because the economy in this state is not working for anybody for a variety of reasons.
1) Newer, more casual, or anyone getting their gold the old fashion way (quest and mob drops) really can't participate in the economy. at like 5k or so an hour they will never afford gold armor, let alone jewelry. Heck, even that crappy motif I sold would represent 100 in game hours of solid play to afford.
2) The inflation has translated to guild store prices and guilds who are not buying gold with crowns or through illicit means really can't afford traders any more and the stress is hell on the poor guys running them. In my social guild we used to easily pay for our trader with taxes and donations. It's not even close now.
3) All fixed gold sinks, such as repair costs, luxury vendor items, and even golden items are either already meaningless or getting there fast.
Please, ZOS, give us some hope on ESO's economic collapse today.
Edited by Psiion on January 27, 2022 8:12PM I am mostly pleased with the current state of ESO. Please do continue to ban cheaters though and you guys have to find out who is duping gold and how because the economy is currently non-functional.
