Realms The Gold Squish Has GOT TO GO

[Cpayne]

Please get rid of the gold squish. It discourages people from saving their gold. This doesn't effect players like me who have ways of preserving our gold value but the main people this hurts is the newer and more casual players who haven't come up with ways to avoid losing half their gold.

This has also kept prices for matts wayy too low, especial vanilla zone & dungeon matts, basically killing gold farming, which used to be very profitable. I understand a lot of the extremely low prices come from the bots but the squish contributes to a lot.

Before the gold squish, the economy was much better and there's a reason no other servers including retail don't have a gold squish, and their economies still don't have sky high prices for matts and materials.

Stop penalizing saving gold, switch it back to the way things were. Gold squish is a horrible idea. If you need to reduce inflation then add more gold sinks.

maybe gold squish once every 2 years?

I'd change it from 50% squish every year to 20% squish every year. People wouldn't even notice it would be like a tax. You had 10k? No problem you still got 8k. I think 50% is way too much. No casual farms that much gold in a year.

obviosuly you dont remember times when marrowgar frigid eye was like 150k gold, new player could never afford it..squish is not perfect, but its waay better then without it

Retail doesn't have squish because they haven't been on the same expansion for 16 years, and saving your gold when there's rampant inflation is a bad idea anyway. Imagine having money in the bank IRL, and you don't get an interest rate. You'd lose money every year.

The squish is very much needed, and I don't know why people complain every year. It has zero impact on 99% of players. You lose half your gold, and mats get 50% cheaper.

I see tons of people scrambling to buy mats before the squish, just to sell them right after for half of what they paid for them, thinking they beat the system. It's hilarious.

and now people are scrambling to buy mats 3 month before and 3 months after the squish because the wealthiest players are overprepared

gold squish is important but having a 50% squish every single year does more harm than good for the economy

my suggestion is either 20% every year or 50% every 2 or 3 years
