When you can easily sell your towns gold income for real dollars, there’s a good chance they could buy some mercenaries and still make real money profit.
This doesn’t occur in a vacuum and they’ve still not fixed gold selling.
I’m on Castle of Steel on Us.East . Highest pop server for last 2 weeks , I have yet to see / block a gold seller advertising on global. Not sure where you guyz see all Thoses gold sellers / RMT but I don’t see any in CoS
They are on websites only stupid sellers post in global
Bro u are so clueless and out of touch about this game community and mmo commu6in general you must be an AGS dev🤣
Most of the coin is being traded in sites like g2g. Also if they make huge profit of transfers and they sell the coin. It basically has cost them nothing and they get more money from buying tokens! Also PSA: in game currency is cheaper if your steam region is on Argentina or Turkey! Which all of the gold sellers account is created on those regions cuz its cheaper like 1/6
I keep thinking about this and I cannot come up with a good reason for a 24h cooldown that makes sense.
I don’t care if they paid you money, they shouldn’t get to break server economies and pop around from server to server faster than someone can even declare a war. I really don’t think it should even be shorter than the faction change cooldown.
This is definitely going to break something.
Im going to keep bumping this until I get a devs response.
The lack of clarity or them even talking about this in a developer update is wild. This is more game changing than any other fix in this patch. What’s funny is they probably don’t have the forsight to figure out why.
The cool down needs to be at least a month if not as long as faction change cool downs are.
My only worry are bots farming on low pop servers, and then transferring back to sell. 24H CD is too little, namely because of the massive bot problem plaguing servers right now.

Those delusional enough to think that the prices will go down, you clearly live on a parallel universe.
If there is a higher offer, they won’t sell until they can sell at the price they want, just look at the oil industry and you will understand how economics work when you can hold a tradeable commodity. It’s not perishable milk that you have to sell before it’s spoil date, you can stock up, play the market, and sell for whatever price you want. It’s been happening on all scales on all the servers with rare and not-so-rare items. Pearls man, they went from 3G to 100G in days, and it was the same guy’s shenanigans.
I hope this really backfires and we, for once, just quit this accursed game.
Stop hoping and just do it, it’s pretty easy. You people act like New World is the only action combat MMO on the market. It’s not, it’s just the newest. Though inferior in many ways, to the current established action combat MMOs.
I can confirm that transfer token costs 180 Argentine peso if ur steam region is on Argentine which equals around 3 dollars with current exchange rates! And gold price is 3 dollars for 10k. So they transfer farm 100k and come back 20k for 2 transfer tokens. 80k profit! nice!
I agree, 24 hr CD is ripe for abuse and will likely destroy the community. There is no legitimate need to transfer servers so often - other than to disrupt an economy or a region’s economy simply by acquiring all the resources with company funds.
In addition, someone will create a world/region hopping chaos company that does nothing but roll into a server to disrupt it, and then move on. It will be made up of people who have money, are bored, and want to sow chaos for fun.

Imagine a response to why 24 hours though? Why wont they respond? Going to wait for it to ruin a few economies first? Then wait for backlash?
The whole do it and ask for forgiveness shtick.

completely agree. what was wrong with a week to begin with?
starting it off at 24h is just mental.
Some would argue it should be much longer than a week even and I think I agree with that.

Amazon only cares about money and this dev team has shown time and time again they don’t listen to what players want because reasons.
AGS is looking for something in the cash shop that will make money. At $15 a transfer they do not care how game breaking it is. They want people to buy transfers every 24 hours. It will be a cash cow for them. The only reason it has a 24 hour wait is that their DB is such a hot mess that it needs that long to move all of the character records.
Yea, there needs to be AT LEAST a week of cooldown on this.

I’d say at least one week of cooldown on transfers, but even better if 2 weeks or more.
Well, it didnt take long to drive up all the costs on my server. Thank you Amazon for letting this go without even explaining your reasoning.
Player experience matters, by not responding it shows you only care about cash.
