Guild Wars 2 Suggestions

Limitless amount of space for gold in the bank (Discussion)

Diversify the currency system by introducing more currency units (add either a unit of lesser value than gold or a unit of greater value than platinum, or both). Increase the wealth limit for characters (inventory) and accounts (storage).

Why this is a good idea
  • With ectos and other rare items being used as a form of currency, this is an indication of the need.
  • In-game wealth is less affected by fluctuations in the prices of rare items (that are being used as currency), possibly indirectly contributing to the stability of the in-game economy.
  • Long-time players are given a higher upper limit to the amount of wealth they can hold onto.
  • An additional currency unit helps keep the numbers small.
Why it may not work out
  • This benefits gold sellers and bot farmers by allowing them to hold or transfer greater amounts of wealth.
  • Any arbitrary upper limit will still, sooner or later, prompt some players to request for an even higher limit. Ideally, there should be no limit, but that would be unrealistic.
