I see a lot of threads lately droning on about how gold is worthless now in comparison to high price items.
But people are failing to see that there are two sides to the proverbial coin.
On one side you have the amount of gold in the system.
On the other you have the drop rate of rare items.
Now I would like us all to look back, way back, all the way back to 2009.
In 2009 we had the first ever SUPER PRIZE!
And with it came 2 Exclusive Rare Items.
Now while these two items have incredibly different prices, they had one thing in common.
Their drop rate.
Don't believe me? Well let me show you a thing.
(The image links to the journal entry in question.)
But what does this show us?
Simple. While a lot, and I mean A LOT, or users want to bash the staff for bringing all that gold into the Gaian Economy the fact is we as the userbase decide what we want to charge and spend on items.
