Money Sink

To keep down the infation that is happening in the market I would like to make a suggestion.  Implement respec'ing for 1,000,000 gold or 2,000,000 gold.

Things to take into account with determining the price:
How low should it be made to make it attractive to the normal CRPG character but at the same time make it expensive enough so that high level characters dont abuse it.  The goal would be to keep retirement desirable but introduce an effective gold outlet for the crpg economy.

Wanna gold inflation? Sure.

30 lvl + 500 gold to retire, or 31 lvl + 0 gold to retire.

People would sell heirlooms for less than 500k to encourage people to buy their heirlooms.

Devs answer? I don't need to ask:

No.

This makes sense, I like it. Plus getting to any high level still has that ultimate lolyoucan'teverchangeyourclassever kinda thing going on which I, as a person who consistently retires every level 30, disagree with.

So respec where you don't lose XP, for 1 or 2 million gold?  I could see that.  If you mean the normal respec (half xp) for 1 or 2 million gold I think that's ridiculous (if you weren't level 31 or higher).  You'd be better off getting to level 31 and retiring. 

I'm gen 5 and the most I've ever had at one time was 150k gold (well sold two loom points, but bought a +1 loom each time), and the other 2 times I used my loom points.

Buying Strat gold (Not from players just a way to convert c-rpg gold to Strat) :D

As a volunteer admin I clearly have no life and live only to eradicate all fun and enjoyment from the game. Your tears of rage are all the payment I need.

I don't see the problem here ?
If you think +3 items are too expensive i can only lol
Even the laziest person can retire every 14 days .
If you sell your heirloom you can make 500-650k gold depending on the supply/demand rate of that very moment.
If you retire again in next 2 weeks and sell it to average of 500-650 which is 575k , you'll have 575 x 2 = 1.150.000 gold.
There are rank 3 items on the market starting from 1.2m ...

If you are new to game , you should sell all your heirloom points because fatnerds that have been playing for a while are always up for buying heirlooms if you sell 3 heirloom rights from the average price , you'll make 1.725k and with that amount of gold you can buy very good +3 items for example i sold my +3 War Cleaver for 1.6kk , you can buy Danish GS for 1.4kk , Arbalest for 1.2kk horn bow for 1.3kk etc etc...
Making money is easy for new players because of rich old timers if you try to waste their money , you'll fuck newcomers aswell.
Stop reading shit about communism and posting fail argumants related to it ffs ...

That's irrelevant if it lowers prices.  It doesn't matter how much money you make if everything costs 3 million gold in the future.  Savvy?

The easiest solution would be that you implement an transaction tax to the market.
If you sell an item you have to pay 10000 Gold if you buy an item you have to pay 10000 gold.
Exclude Rank0 items and you are done.
This way the market is eating big amounts of gold => deflation.

Alternative you could collect 1-2% of the gold every sold item in the marketplace costs.

This is what Nord Invasion auction hall does. You have to pay 10 gold + 5% (of the gold you want to get for the item) just to make an offer on the market. This reduces the amount of ridiculous offers a lot. Of course you can't carry this over to crpg 1:1.

A tax on players is not fun.  I would like to see something that makes the player feel like they're benefiting from it.  Instead of taxes being forced onto the poor and hungry of the population, so to speak.
