Here's a thought. How about dropping the price for the metals so you force players to either learn more to earn huge amounts of tria, say half the price they are now and keep weapon prices the same. That would fix a good number of game issues with the economy right now. And p.s. all those complaining about it being too hard to make any tria as a new player are full of it. It's not difficult to get to 30 in metallurgy and once you reach that point you can make enough bronze stock to make millions in a week at the most. Even if you mine all the ore yourself.
