So here is my beef:
If Planeshift is another reality separate from ours why is there such a high payout for Gold? In the land of PS Gold is essentially useless. The only real use for mining Gold is not to make anything of value in PS but to bring in lots of tria. In the reality of Planeshift shouldn't iron ore and coal be worth substantially more? Or at least have gold worth substantially less. It seems useless to mine iron and coal for hours to make stock for and get maybe 10k when you can spend that time mining gold and making at least triple that. If we are striving to make an in game economy it seems that the npc's set values for items are counter productive. In the reality of PS iron and coal are in demand but the npc's don't support that ultimately hurting the role playing experience because it just doesn't make sense in game unless you choose to ignore these discrepancies. I hope this makes a little sense it's late and I'm tired because I just leveled up my casting skills and learned about the economic injustices built into planeshift towards the casting population.
