Well would u rather dappers actually have some value ingame and ppl end up 'buying' dappers with real life currencies, like they do in some,,... err no , all MMORPGs?. I mean its friggin sad to actually buy virtual money with Real money.
well. mounts had better cost 10 mil + and die every other day, or dappers will have truly no value.

I can easily spend 500k on those on a weekend-day and 200k on a weekday.

as well as easily craft away 2m dappers in 2 hours, despite my 80 personal Tryker fame.

If I want to spend money i can. And if there are still people complaining I will just raise my prices.


Nah just make the stabling of mounts cost a fixed amount / day. And guild appartments need some constant financing as well. You need constant drains not huge one time ones.

But wait till patch 1 and harvesting getting a lot more demanding, you will see mat and item prices rise.

As i mentioned in other post money /dappers dont have any sense in game actualy they will get some value if i have to spend them on something ... we have guild house , 3 mules and apartment and im ql 90 in craft what for i can spend money in ? qrinding lv 90 to 100 making earrings is ahmmm suicidal workk with shop materials :P I will trade items for materials ... that is more worth for me then any money ... i can loot in half hour enough money for all tickets i spend a day ... and i travel a LOT as some people know ..

But this will change with a new NPC vendors patch as i will use money to buy materials from shops and will also be able to finally sell somone my items ... cheers ..

I would agree with the consensus that vendors and mounts will help.

However, what I do think the OP makes as a valid point is the lack of a credit sink in the game.

There has to be SOMETHING to spend all your hard earned cash on - or we get inflation. So far, one of the reasons I haven't been that opposed to heavy decay rates is that it serves as a fairly effective puller of cash for cash-rich classes (eg non-crafters). Crafters are always a little cash poor given grinding up to 90.

But...be warned...you've got to have something besides teleport tickets to spend bucks on later. And I'm not sure that chasing after a limited amount of goods created by players is the answer...
