But this isn’t irl. This is new world and the player driven economy has a very poorly designed framework.
I hope AGS figures out a way to stabilize the economy and remove the gold cap.
I totally sympathize with your frustration 100%
All I’m trying to say is that right now in the current state. Gold cap is a necessary evil
It’s not necessary if everyone is already circumventing it and have been since the game launched. It’s literally the dumbest argument to make that it’s necessary when it does nothing
It keeps the marketplace somewhat stabile
How is the market stable when just a few messages ago you were saying how everything is raising in price and BiS is overpriced and ridiculous
Because gold cap dictates listing culture.
nothing says stable like investing in a fluctuating currency like asmo
Yep. That’s the ticking timebomb 
im glad we all agree that removing the gold cap would be better then
You are openly admitting the fact that gold cap causes more problems than fixes them
I will say. Nothing about the economic situation in this game is positive. I sympathize with you and i think the gold cap is a bullshit thing. Yes
So remove it or raise it to 1.5mil like OP was suggesting it’s really not hard
Yeah raising it to 1mill or 1.5 might be a good solution. There are variables to consider with that. But I’m not an expert in economics so I’ll let some bigger brains at AGS figure out that one
This will not resolve anything though. People will just reach 1m or 1.5m and the request for a bank system or upped gold cap will return.
The main problem remains, the inevitability of by playing people are accumulating great wealth with a level of inflation out of control. In the real world we’re talking about “mass inflation” right now, with levels of around 5 - 10% in most western countries. New World has seen an inflation rate of about 500 - 1000% last year, at least.
This is a very common occurence in MMO’s. If you’re going to be raising the caps, it only makes sense to raise it to something like 2,147,483,647 or 4,294,967,295. Or even higher if stored as 64 bit integer values. Essentially, just let the cap be determined by database limitations rather than anything else. Because you’re accepting to let the economy remain messed up anyway.
A much healthier change would be reduction of the level of inflation.
For those who say you do too much war or spend the gold blah blah, i have not played in a war since approximately march of this year. I make my gold grinding and crafting. I maxed all of my crafting the hard way before they dumbed it down on recent updates. Now since its so easy i just gather the mats and sell, in 2 days i made 8k selling water lol goes to show you how lazy people are. If you dont have at least 300k gold you either are lazy or dont know what youre doing. And i dont spend my gold cuz theres nothing really i need or want at the moment
Also, if upping the cap is not a good idea at least give us a bank system that way we dont have to make a company in order to carry it.
“Also if youre not gunna up the cap, at least allow us to get around it entirely making it absolutely pointless in the first place with a bank system”
What sort of backwards fucking pageantry is that?
Sadly i dont play wars, i do what i enjoy in this game and it is to control/flip the trading post. this month alone im above gold cap
there should be ONE company storage, larger than 1000.
make capacity depend on number of people in the company. like housing, where if removing a chest or not paying taxes, if a player is removed or leaves the company, you go over capacity and you can only remove items from the company storage.
officers and above can deposit. consuls and above can withdraw. if deposit access is given to everyone, it could go over limit easily.
is this linked and viewable in dropdowns like other storage?
in each town hall there is a door under the stairs. that’d be a great immersion spot for this company storage.
interesting thread. i agree with most of your concerns and suggestions. actually raising the gold cap even by a little bit is…meh. there’s items, and the items that cost over a mil already use refined resources as part of deal. not to mention inflation due to it. you said you aren’t an economist. neither am i, but maybe one could be deferred to. surely AGS has resources.
i made a post proposing something that could slow down the viability of mega companies…and in effect, inflation. players could always use another account and a non-leaderboard shell as a bank though. anyway, here’s wonderwall: War/Territory System Update Idea
I would certainly like for there to be a single unified company storage with assignable permissions per tab. Additionally, I’d like for there to be, similar to faction quests, a series of quests that company members can embark on (e.g. “provide xxx hyssop to the company vendor”) in order to unlock bigger company banking or to enable certain PvE/PvP perks for members of that company.
