Too many billionaires in this game now. Time to wipe the server and restart everyone at 1 million gold. This will give everyone a fair shot at running a successful trading guild.
Should also try this in real life. I'd bargain that within 10 years in real life the wealth distribution would still return to similar levels as today.
I think I get the idea, and while this would actually increase my current gold, still gotta say no. I spend it as fast as I make it usually, have close to 300,000 right now just because the golden hasn't had anything I didn't already have or want to flip with AP. Don't want to even think about the probable millions I've spent on motifs and recipes/mats/.
More to the point, running a successful trading guild is way less about how much you can bid and more about how well you can manage everything that comes with it. If you're in a horribly run guild and you land a mournhold trader, you'll sell stuff for a week, but probably not enough to maintain that spot for the next week.
It's too much work for me personally, I'll leave running the guild to someone else lol.
There's really not rampant inflation either which would be the only other reason to blatantly remove/ redistribute game currency.

I don't even have 100k right now and have never had more than 900k. I personally find this to be an absurd idea. Now I do think that their needs to be better money sinks in the game.
There are different kinds of players in these games.
Some are achievers, they like to get the best titles, the best gear, the best etc.
Some are socializers, they like to hang out in chat. They often also like to have housing and host visitors and such (which this game doesn't support very well).
Some are builders, they like to create things, and build an ersatz "life" in the world of the game. For these people, they want to get the money, and they put all their work into that.
If you suddenly take away all the gold that these builder types have achieved, you would destroy their reason for playing. It would be like suddenly stripping achievers of their gear and titles, or stripping away all the outfits and houses from the socializers. It would destroy their achievements.
Restart at 1 million gold? I'm game man. That's 10 times more then I have now.

"I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."
I've barely made it past 1 million a couple of times and I still think this is a crappy idea. Most people earned that money fair and square. It would be beyond crappy to take it away from them.
Running out an buying tempers and perfect roe for 15 millions.
No idea of the worth of stuff in the crafting bag, but its hundreds of gold tempers of all crafts outside of jewelry crafting where I only have around 30.
instead, we should reset everyone's account to 0 unless you already have over 10 million, and give all the gold from every other player to the over 10mil group. They'll let it trickle down eventually, we promise!
