Why would Blizzard intentionally add easy methods to gain a lot of money in WoW which caused mass inflation in game:
1) To put an end to gold farmers
2) To put an end to gold sellers
3) To help people pay for static expenses that Blizzard made too expensive in the first place without pissing off people who already paid for these things by lowering the price instead (epic flying mounts)
Why inflation is bad:
1) Costs of materials have gone up to do tradeskills and purchase items making you subject to farming gold through their flawed Daily Quest System
2) The longer you hold onto gold the less value it has
3) People who spent a lot of time farming gold to buy expensive items have their accomplishment nulled because of how fast you can obtain gold
How to Hedge Against Inflation:
1) Buy rare BoE items or tradeskill materials so that when you need your gold later you can sell these things for the inflated going rate to protect your gold supply (ie, buy a primal air for 20G, wait 3 months, sell it for 40G at current rate)
What are some of the things Blizzard could do to hedge against inflation and bring the value of Gold back into line?
1) Decrease gold gained from dailies
2) Increase Air Fare's on Flight Masters
3) Increase Repair Costs
4) Increase General Good Costs
What should Blizzard do instead?
Get rid of repairs, get rid of reagents, get rid of flight master and other miscellaneous fees. Then lower the amount of gold that can be gained off dailies.
OR
Use all the tax money Blizzard collects from Flight masters, repairs, and NPC merchants and sell it to gold sellers while simultaneously reducing the expenses of things in game drastically so that there is no longer a need to buy gold from gold sellers.
