Trey: "There's a tornado coming for your tower!"
AJ: "Stop tomato!"
Trey: "No, not tomato, tornado! You said tomato."
AJ: "Tormato?"
Trey: "No! Tor- na- do. Tornado."
AJ: "Tor-ma-do."
Trey: *sighs* "It's not a tomato." Nearly wet myself laughing at this.

A great suggestion and inline with something that has already started to work well. I think greatly reducing the going price for crafted items at pawnshops would be a good addition to the above suggestion.
On second thought that only slows down the flow of true into the system from the pawnshops.

This is true...that is unless everyone would accept a bank/gold wipe. I don't think a gold wipe is needed. There are enough actions going on to reduce the gold in the system. As an example Chongo's last auction which took something like 3 million true out of the system, the proceeds went to charity. If we eliminate the one main thing that floods the system with true, the pawnshops, attrition will take care of much of the rest. And pawn shops? They're useless for the casual player. They never can afford to buy a single thing. I gave up years ago even clicking on them because after a reset 9 bazillion enchanted fire opals are sold to every pawn shop on Layo, making them all useless until the next reset, well... and I can't log on right after a reset, so therefore I can sell... nothing to a pawn shop!
This is exactly my point. Every server re-set floods the system with a massive amount of true and very fast. The disparity exists between rich and poor because some have more time to go grind kills for their money than others, and because some have clicks they're part of that allow them to team up more regularly than others to hit areas where more money and better items drop.
Very little true comes from a group out hunting. Normally not even enough to cover the healing used. Yes a lot of true comes from the sale of drop goods but that is only because there is so much true in the system that people can bid huge amounts for rare items. Making all crafting items that are not a finished items one gold (looking at you, jewel crafting) would be good. Putting limits on how many of the same item you can sell in a give time period (ten of XXX then cut off for an hour) would be good if it's possible. After all what does a pawn shop need with fifteen lutes anyway? A great suggestion and inline with something that has already started to work well. I think greatly reducing the going price for crafted items at pawnshops would be a good addition to the above suggestion. We should do a calculation based on the number of pawn shops and their levels how much true gets dumped into the system with every re-boot. Anyone know how many pawnshops of each type there are?

Also, there is already a system in place to give discounts to characters that donate regularly. Stygian receives a healthy discount from the temple in Arnax.  This I did not know. So If I donate regularly to a temple I will get a discount on healing goods? Nice!

I have been giving this a lot of thought and decided to go ahead and post my thinking on the pawnshop and gold flow issues.
I dont know how many pawnshops there are and how much true each pawnshops dumps into the system each reboot but I am sure the total number is not small. Why not do away with pawnshop completely?
I don't think we really need the pawnshops anymore. There is a healthy barter system in place for goods and crafted items. If we got rid of them and then did a few minor adjustments like raising the true drop rate and amount by say 20% and lower the NPC shop prices by 20%, we should have enough true in the system to do all that is needed.
Getting rid of the pawnshops would also put a damper on the crazy large bank accounts and the over the top auction bids.
The short of it is that the pawnshops dump a huge amount of true into the system every server reboot. We have other ways of getting the equipments and goods that our PCs need.
For healing and temple goods we could also set up a discount rate based on total donations.
Thoughts?

*Wren returning to Center hears of the dark elf rumors. He seeks out friends and informants to get as current as he can on the situation. Shaking his head while he talks with some friends.* First Voltrex and now here, there is more a foot then just an incursion. I was told of a great dark dragon in the deep demanding slaves for whatever it nefarious plans are. I bet my elf bottom that this has something to do with that. *he laughs* never any rest!
