Question/Theory about the Golds system

ok well i was just thinking about random things and a thought came up

were does the gold come from...?


so heres my question/theory

is it possible that A-net put a set amount of gold into the economy (like the U.S treasurey) and so every time a monster drops gold it comes from like an A-net bank and like every time we spend money on NPC's like buying salavge kits and the like, does that money just curculate back into GW and is dropeed agian by a monster? or does the gold just disapear forever?


so yea just a thought

It's a game, treasury doesn't exist. As long as enemies are slain, gold is 'created'.

Gold is just a random drop, just like anything else.

While there are games that use a system like that so there is a maximum ammount of money in the game (Which they can then change as needed) I really doubt GW uses it.

The gold dropped from monsters has always remained the same, with new players joining and gold being collected or sitting in inactive accounts if it used a system like that you would see big changes.

A quick point...the OP seems to be misled.

There is no fixed amount of wealth in any real economy. It fluctuates, of course, but tends to grow in the long run.

If well-being is a pie, policy is capable of both redividing the pie among a population and changing the size of the pie itself. Most people forget about that part. Person A becoming more happy doesn't mean that Person B is somehow worse off. There's room for everyone.

Not only must we consider this, but we also have to take into account what type of pie it is. I mean if we're talking about a quality gourmet Cherry Pie, that could be anywhere from like $25 - $30.. Unless of course you buy a pie during Marie Calendar's anniversary pie sales. Then your gourmet pie is only $5.

I myself am a Blueberry man, which of course means I eat blueberry pie a lot. Blueberry is a bit more "classy" than cherry pie and of course will cost me quite a bit more. Although we must take into account that Cherry pie is more traditional...

Gold may not have a set amount, but I wounder if max r9 rare skinned items do?

Having a set number of extremely rare items would make some sense, even if the number is high say 1,000 R9 Crystalines with 15^50(non inscribed) ect...

In real life there is no central bank (ie. Treasury) that has gold stocks equivalent to the amount of cash in circulation. All wealth is just a bunch of digits in a computer, much the same as in GW.

Question: what would happen if Bill Gates goes to his bank and says: "Right, here's the deal. I'm fed up with looking like a geek and conspiring to take over the world! I'm here to cash out, in tenners please" ?
