Name a few that everyone uses. Because about the only ones I can think of are the NPC bought dungeon passes that are too cheap, and repairs. If I'm missing a few, please inform me of what they are.There are enough gold sinks in game, and a lot of gold inflating factors are gone(Girg VHM,Saga 2 and conflict got nerfed). There is no need to push absurd repair fee with new content.
It's nice that they've removed some of the abused gold sources from the game, but none of that will remove the gold they generated and is currently being stagnated in the market to increase prices of mundane items.

I believe I should ask for a source, but where is specific usage of this weapon sustainable, that isn't gained through any other method, and is consistent enough to pay for the expected duration lost?
I specifically mention a subset of players because the inflation is heavily favored more than what the developers expected due to certain events, to the point they shut specific methods down so that the value of gold wouldn't become worthless except in the bulk only the top players had achieve in that time frame.
I can believe you when you say luxury for the sake of pride is a viable goal, but I fail to see where the profit margins are not red across the board. Though I am honestly not familiar with preventing or slowing duration loss. As an elf, we don't have access to final hit, so that skill is out.
I suppose I should clarify, gold has dropped in value because overall, we earned more of it, yet the distribution is way off more than it should, due to the aforementioned factors. While higher geared players should pay more to use their gear, I also expect a certain amount of profit for higher geared players, to cover costs and make dough.
And I'm saying that if you know you can't afford to support it, then just don't get/use it. There are people that can, will and do use them. If you went to obtain these, with the intention of using them, then you went in fully knowing what you are building and what it will cost to maintain. None of it is forced upon you you simple decided that you wanted more power but don't want the cost associated with said power.

Because I want to see what I can do at my best. Anything that gives me just slightly more edge is fun to acquire and experiment with because there's always ways of improving. The resources I acquire is used for my own entertainment, which is to see how far I can take my character. And there are still challenges to take no matter where you are. If you feel like nothing is challenging anymore, then go solo a 500%HP Alban, 50% player dmg, Mage hall. And I know what you will say, you won't do it because there's no gain, no reward worth that effort, and you're right, however, people will still challenge something like this regardless of that fact, because its a challenge, the completion of which is satisfying in its own right.
You seem completely fixated on efficiency when even in real life people have the same incentive and tendencies. It's not efficient to buy an expensive high maintenance sports car when a normal one is sufficient, but people do it anyways for the joy and satisfaction of it. If you feel like you can't use them without loss, then you're not at the progress required to use that equipment, either level wise, economic progression, or personal skill. And yes, there are ways of using these luxury equipment efficiently and effectively either through experience, mechanics, or strategies.
So a lot of endgame gears/enchants are meaningless because they are inefficient and people are advised not to use them. lol
This misses the point of my argument, which is if you can't afford to use high end gear, then you're not ready for it yet.
