Could you please describe if you have more gold than you need, just enough, a little too little, or is there never enough gold? What do you spend the most on?

Overland difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including One Tamriel, an overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver & Gold as a "you think you do but you don't" - tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game. I'm bored of dungeons, I'm bored of trials; make a personal difficulty slider for overland. It's not that hard.3 -

ihazzit✭✭✭50.000.000-99.999.999I have it spread across 3 accounts as I used to be involved in a couple trade guilds but they were too serious and I don't have the time anymore. I purchase things here and there that I think are fair priced but rarely do I search for anything specific. It's my opinion that if you want to have the majority of items out there that can be purchased with gold then you'll need easily tens of millions over time. If you use gold to purchase available homes then at least 100 million over time.If you are angry about anything in this game you are only punishing yourself.1

Taggund✭✭✭✭50.000.000-99.999.999More than I need. Stopped doing daily writs on multiple characters as there is not a need to earn more. I also mostly stopped using guild traders other than the ones I'm in to buy as it is such a pain to use them. It will be nice to have some new items on the golden vendor (supposedly) and having a new house that can be bought with gold.1 -

TaSheen✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭5.000.000-9.999.999I've been playing for six years this month. I have spent some gold on gear, and a few houses, some furnishings, the occasional motif. I don't even do writs on more than a couple characters on my first two accounts, and only one on my third account (so 8 and 2 - because I play all three accounts on both PC megaservers).
For instance - I don't have any use for the "house for gold" in this chapter because it's Dunmeri. So not my thing at all. And the ship house will be crowns - I'll buy it eventually (unless it's limited time - then I won't buy it at all probably).
There's just not a lot for me to spend gold on....______________________________________________________

Ashryn✭✭✭✭✭Over 1.000.000.000I answered wrong and picked the wrong category since I didn't have my glasses on. I'm almost 50 million. I do spend at guild traders for furnishing plans or for the occasional motif, bought some houses with gold that I really don't need, and wish that there was more in the game to spend gold on. I could make a ton more gold easily, but really, there isn't much point. I do wish there was an easy way on PC to convert gold to crowns without placing trust in random strangers or having to download Discord.1

CGPsaint✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭10.000.000-49.999.999Sitting on around 35m in gold, which is more than enough for the time being. My main crafter knows all provisioning recipes, and all available motif chapters, so the only thing that I have left to spend gold on is a handful of furnishing plans that are eluding me. Gold is just gold. What I really enjoy hoarding is completed Writ Vouchers, of which I'm currently sitting right around 80K banked. I've been lazy recently, but I have somewhere around 250-300 master writs that I need to find the time to complete."Some enjoy bringing grief to others.

LannStone✭✭✭✭100.000.000-499.999.999Around 100 million on PC NA
More than I need other than watching the numbers go up
Did I choose the right category?
It's hard to read with all those zeroes
For example, 100M to 500M would have been a lot easier to comprehend
Also, I believe PC and console need to be separate, since they're entirely separate economies

How do people have so much gold? I'm hearing writs and guild traders. Is that really it? I feel like I'm missing something more.
Writs are horrendously excessive in the amount that they reward for the effort required both when it comes to gold and materials.
With Guild Traders, you can make money by flipping or providing things that people want.
For example, the recent Chapter added some new public dungeons and one of the drops from the new public dungeon is a
Lost Graht-Oak Acorn.
If you collect enough of them you can get a cute squirrel pet.
However, the way public dungeon drops are set up is that the first drop from public dungeons comes easy each day and then after that it's a horrible grind.
Thus, players that are in a hurry to get the squirrel will pay a bunch of gold to get other players drops. Right now on PC the cheapest one is like 70,000 gold.
So, you can make a sizeable chunk of money in likely less than five minutes if you are willing to burn your accounts easy daily public dungeon drop on an item you'll just sell.
(Do note that every day the price will drop as more will go up for sale and you'll start to run out of people willing to pay big premiums to get the items because they'll already have the amount that they want)
Another example would be that an event late this month/early next month is coming that drops a new style of armor and weapons.
If you do the event and get the drops every day and sell them rather than using them yourself, you'll likely be able to make a few million.
