Gold costs need to be significantly reduced! (Or just remove gold please!)
|
Sup boyz!
Let's just get right into this; gold is my LEAST fav collectable in this game, by a stupidly large margin! It seems to function only as a limiting factor and has pretty much only downside and from my perspective at least; zero upsides and I mean literally zero! If you want to do any form of active trading... gold OMEGA GIGA CUCKS you from doing so; why? Cuz now a days we have automated sales tabs which are great from the sellers perspective.. However if you're buying and especially if you're trying to do a bit of active trading then it's just the most annoying shit in the video game bar non not even close baby. And this level of trading isn't even a high level of trading cuz im mostly just playing the game and killing monsters yet the amount of trades I have missed out on just cause of lack of gold is REALLY killing the vibe of the game for me right now! I'd like to suggest something radical which is REMOVE gold entirely! It has no place in poe! And feels like a lazy solution to problems which poe used to solve in a creative manner! The most convincing argument for trying to get new players into poe used to be; "This game is so interesting because it doesn't have gold!". Which leads to them asking why and you'd have your in right there. There are plenty of other solutions possible here that do no involve the most basic and boring resource ever; done in every rpg ever! Remove it and come up with something a hell of a lot more interesting and original please! Or just remove it entirely good too! Then the MOST annoying part of gold... having to backtrack to pick up gold is just... wtf are we doing? You kinda have to do it because as previously mentioned gold is a heavy heeeeeeeeeeeeavy requirement in this game now. -----> At the very least make pets pick up gold!!!! <------- Like the fact this hasn't happened from the start is a rather large problem because introducing even more friction in a game that already has waaaaay too much friction is not helping anyone. If you ask me the solution is simply; reduce gold costs by bout 90%! Sounds like this is a lot? Sure but it will instantly make the game a LOT better. -> Twitch.tv/furaijin <- If ur new to the game and got questions, this is the place to be! <3 Last edited by Furaijin#4795 on Dec 15, 2025, 4:42:12 AM Last bumped on Dec 15, 2025, 11:49:28 AM

respec could be a smidge cheaper. but gold costs seem fine otherwise. even if ur bulk-trading for crafting currencies.
you just don't like having to make tough choices on how you spend your time. it's like having to choose between deconstructing your item for crafting currencies or selling for gold. the game ceases to be a game if you just get everything for nothing. like idgi, do you want items to drop id'd and go straight to your stash if it gets passed your item filter as well? i wouldn't be surprised if you think ground loot is all garbage, too. Don't get lost by being so focused on the target that you forget to enjoy your surroundings.

" Sure, make gambling at the vendors completely free and op. |

Gold costs are there to force you to actually play the game. Otherwise some people would just do trading only and that would be a big incentive to RMT. And RMT being easier would be bad for the economy and be bad for the majority of the player who abide to the TOS.
What I think they could do instead is to buff gold rewards during the campaign, so we can try out more stuff and gamble more on the NPC. On SSF we need to gamble a lot early to get good gear. |

" +1. If anything, gold costs should be higher. Evasion-only melee character that can kill Ubers with cheap gear (SSF Rise of the Abyssal), no armor, no energy shield, 62k eHP:

The problem is not the existence of gold in the game, this system works on every other single game, they just need to balance it, make gambling cheaper or at least improve the quality of the itens, make respec cheaper.
Just like i said, a gold based economy works on every single game, there is no reason to not make it work here |

Anything that limits hideout warriors in their business dealings has my support.
