It seems the point will come when we'll need cool-looking, extremely expensive, but stat-wise indifferent versions of all the regular items. I also notice that I have too much gold. I bought and sold again all mail armors, just to see how they look.

 Why am I beswung by sharpe and pointed utensyls?

100k for +1 it's waaay too low, you can get 100k gold in like 10-15 hours tops, getting to level 31, retiring and back to 31 again takes a hell lot longer. 1 million gold/modifier is fair.

If you're in really really low cost gear maybe, or nekkid.  100k gold in a day while paying upkeep?  I can see maybe 30k in mid-range gear.
And I should be nice or polite to anyone.... why exactly?

The main issue this would create is everyone would go naked and farm cash until the +1 everything in their inventory. So the game would just turn into one big boring grind. 1 month from now everyone is gonna charge into battle wearing full +3 tiered gear lol.
If you have to much cash - put on better/more stuff.

Plus the defintion of an heirloom is not the same as an upgrade. Upgrade in this game is using higher difficulty rated stuff.

Final argument. If you can buy a + modifier then you essentially destroy the purpose of retiring and heirlooming. Who in their right mind would grind to lev 31 then retire and start at 1 when they can stay at 31 and farm cash and +1 the crap outa their gear?
