So year after release these guys will have gathered a fair sum in gold. Buying low when the need for silver is highest (land auction for example). Selling high when there is not much competition. They buy as much gold as they can in the first 2 weeks when the price is relatively low and once they feel they have enough to start playing with it they start to manipulate the market. Lets assume that after release there will be 10-30 players whose main purpose will be playing the gold market. I must admit I joined in it for week or two just to see if it works. These guys are not your average grinders buying gold to get premium or what ever. I see people selling 12.000+ gold at a time and buying 10.000+ worth of gold at the same time at a small margin. I hope both Players and Devs explain it to me like I was a ten year old (I wish)ġ) Is it true that us players ultimately decide the price of gold? If people think it is worth it to pay 500+ silver per gold that will be the market price? There is no regulation?Ģ) Is there any safety mechanism from a small group of players taking over the gold market and monopolising the gold value? I must admit I do not understand all this as well as I probably should by now so instead of writing what I understand I play stupid and ask this as a set of questions



The players who understand how the gold market works and profit from it keep it to theirselves and the people who do not understand, well. I feel this topic has not been discussed enough.
