not sure why NX is going to reduce the gold from Shadow Wizard that is silliest and most ridiculous way to handle this nonsense this isnt going to work this is just going to get all the players very tilted especially whats going to happen to end game content

    Sick of item pricings getting higher? Just lower the price!
    "Inflation" has always been directly influenced by the player base.

    Inflation cannot be stopped; who are we kidding. The gold supply continues to rise and when the money supply rises you get inflation. With gold sinks, even if you can make very desirable items only purchasable through NPCs, the NPC prices stay fixed, yet the gold supply still rises. Since the inflation is with items sold by players to players, since the gold supply will always be rising, there will always be inflation.

    Even if you came up with a means to reduce the gold supply, it would be impossible to keep it steady; it will either be increasing or decreasing. If it was always decreasing then eventually everyone would be broke. You could have controls that you turn on and off again to try to keep the supply level over time but that creates a cyclic economy which will create periods of scarcity, where you have the money to buy but nothing is being sold or items are available but only a few can buy.

    If you wanna live like a whale you gotta be a whale. You want the game to remain valuable to Nexon then be a whale.
