People are still going to buy gold at the same volume, maybe even more since they don't need max accounts to stake.

It's going to be harder for gold sellers to obtain gold in bulk at cheap prices I imagine. However, they will still obtain it. Maintaining margins will not affect profitability. If they have to buy higher, they should sell higher, which should provide stability in the market.

You are right that banning stakers was a gold sink. In contrast, the development team for OldSchool have done a good job at making gold not easy to obtain (aside from staking.) There are plenty of other gold sinks in the game. Making a bond tradeable is a major gold sink if you work the numbers.

There will still be a system where in-game wealth is being gained manually and automatically, collected by traditional stakers/botfarmers, sold to rwter's, and redistributed to players. It's a cycle that won't stop and the odds stakers, albeit being a big part of the cycle, will not have as much of an effect on the economy as it may seem.

I agree with you it brings some demand, and think about the players that will become rwters because of it. Thanks for the incite. But I think it will crash gp price to about $0.60 or even lower the day-of when players will dump. It may go up or down, I see it differently. Only time will tell my friend.
