Just wondering when turbine will make a new currency. (A Opinion post)

I have seen exchangeable currency actually work well in other games, so the idea isn't completely out of the realm of possibility. However, I don't think Turbine would implement it in a simply reactionary fashion, the way you suggest could happen.

Yes, there is a significant imbalance of wealth right now in the game. (I counted half a dozen players who suddenly became concerned about the gold cap last week.) But I think demand for the top-tier items is so low, inflation will be kept in check.

I'm one of the have-nots on my server, but I'm also one of the need-nots. (It still feels strange to call myself a have-not when I'm completely equipped in teal gear.) I would be more concerned if I felt I actually needed any of these luxuries (gold items) to enjoy the game. I think there are enough reasonable players realize they don't, that the market will remain sane.

As the OP has removed his post there's nothing more to do here.
