Ehh. I'm not so sure Booty Grab is the root of all evil. Sure, it probably makes way more gold into the system than it should, but things cost way more than I could afford long before Booty Grab came along. In fact, I was thrilled over BG, since for the first time in years I got the feeling that I might actually afford something if I worked hard enough with the grabbing. I mean, even if I'd make 10k a day, that would be a whole many days before I could afford most things, since just about anything costs well over 100k these days. And did before BG. Before I could buy even one thing, there'd be another RIG and EI to get.
And hells yeah, I can see a riot coming if they're going to seriously nerf the gold amounts after people have paid 8 dollars (!!!) per one ugly fish that's going to die and give them rubbish as a parting "gift". It's one precarious issue if they're going to start poking at it now that they've already established the way things work. And I bet they knew full well what they were doing too when they made every fish give more gold so that people would always change to the newer version.
Oh, two more things. 1. They have at least clearly lowered the amount of gold the overseer gives. 2. They've made certain fish (mostly hermit cats tho, but also on a rare occasion some cash-only high triggers) to drop as booty when playing BG. Wouldn't have ever thought to see them give cash items for free, but it seems miracles ain't over.
