I think the OP Is pretty clear. Perhaps the sarcastic tone from the oral word is missing, but OP is arguing that the real problem in NW is not the exploits that some people were doing, rather the exploit is the ridiculous money earned through the legal but poorly designed territory system that allows a company to earn that amount of money in such a short period of time. In other words, the design of the game has more of a negative impact on the economy than the actual cheaters. No idea if that is accurate, but looking at that picture. Wow, that’s a whole lot of coin to spread around a select few and very likely to distort to the economy of the game such that those with it can drive the price of everything squeezing the smaller fish.

Been saying this for ages, they need to use the Ashes System, where they can not actually take the money out and use it for their own character, but they can still use it to start town projects
and to upgrade stations.
Even if they don’t change it, the amount of money that’s generated is absolutely ridiculous and allows companies to snowball being able to equip their roster with better gear than anybody that could challenge them.

Wholeheartedly agreed. Been saying this early post launch as well, it’s ridiculous to see faction efforts turn into nothing more than personal gain for a very small number of people. It doesn’t help in creating a healthy economy either.
So a guild needs atleast 50 players to get a major town. Usually its more like 60-70+ since not all players can make the sieges.
So you have 4mil per week. After you pay the station taxes and all youre left with around 55k per player a week which is not very much at this moment. These guilds usually have 100+ members so realistically its closer to 25k
And this is from a top tier city and probably the biggest hit you could find so best caae scenario. Other cities make way less.

No. They mentioned this issue in the blog but gave absolutely zero details on what they were planning or thinking to do to address it. They also said this would be higher priority or sooner to release than the war fatigue but they actually gave info on the war fatigue changes and some of those are on the ptr now.
I’d really like to know what they’re planning to do (the mechanics) to address the wealth inequality.

I wonder how many of forum complainers are clueless dumb ppl like you! Taxes is not money printing it goes from one player to another player! But expedition raw coin was money printing and without enough gold sink in game it kept adding more and more to the inflation! Also the number in the picture is for best city with best company that 100% has weekly payouts to all members! Its nothing after reducing the expenses if it and distributing it between 50-100 players!
hello L2P
Where do you think comes all the gold in third party websites selling them for real money?
Where do you think get ppl the money to buy BIS great axes up to 2 million gold?
Why do you think ppl even ask for so much gold for such pieces, bcs they know someone interested and owning WW or EF can pay that crazy amount.

I don’t think these companies are distributing the money evenly among all their members and even if they were 55k gold each is allot for doing nothing, specially when you compare it to people who don’t have this extra income…

Guarantee the money isn’t being split evenly. The governor has total say in how the gold is distributed and I have never seen them split it evenly with company.
I have been in a few different companies who owned areas, never was the money split evenly.
The governor used it as a personal bank and used it to kit out war roster with all the honing stones, oakflesh balm etc. And many of the consuls also utilised it. It bought crafting trophies and utilised them to craft a load of gear for war.
Best rolls in crafts are for kitting out the top players
Smarter ones used it to play the market and make even more gold.
Some companies even RMT it. None of the ones I have been in.
Even the best companies who had company trophies for everyone to use never split gold evenly. This wouldn’t be smart anyway.
At the end of the day, this has been going on for a year. It has always been a problem with the massive income to a select few. They get further and further ahead.
I have personally spent over 1mill on PvP gear just to keep up. Your average player just can’t do that, it sucks.

Its about 30k per week for each member stop this bullshit theories … you have no idea how much gold is wasted for city upgrades etc.
It would definitely be nice if there was a way to play the game in opposition to all companies. Some kind of smuggler faction. I view companies as the actual villain of this game not the corrupted.
