Suggestion[edit]
My suggestion is to add a merchant that buys and sells gems for gold.(much like the GW1 Material Traders)
Every time someone buys gems from the merchant, the price goes up.
Every time someone buys gems from the item mall (VERY IMPORTANT if there's a very high demand on any item), or sells gems to the merchant, the price goes down.
Benefits[edit]
Stable and Balanced gem prices.
Steady gold sink.
Reason for the suggestion[edit]
I'm worried that as more gold gets generated in the GW2 world, the price of gems will also go up.
This will make things harder for newer players, and give an unfair advantage to more experienced players.
In my opinion, there NEEDS to be an in-game price balancing mechanics involved.
There have been too many examples in other games where item mall currency could be traded, while the pricing on it was left completely up to the players. After certain items arrived in the item malls, the in-game prices on the item mall currency inflated to rediculous ammounts.
I won't mention names, but there is a certain game, where the price of the cash-shop currency is now(and has been for a LONG while now) about 15x of what it was during the first year(which was fine). Most players now could NOT afford to buy $1 worth of the cash-shop currency until they're well in the 60's(level cap is 105). Which, of course, is VERY discouraging.
No matter how many gold sinks there are, when a new item arrives, the hype WILL bump the in-game price of gems. And depending on the popularity of the new item, it might just ruin the economy.
I'm not sure if this has already been implimented/suggested. I do not mean to copy anyone.
THANK YOU FOR READING![edit]
