Putting in measures to drain money out of the economy is not a solution here. Your going to end up doing things that reward the people that took advantage of the massive influx of duped cash. Or you'll penalize those that stayed away from it.

Some ideas on the table are probably a casino type thing, spend lots of money for a chance at a really nice or unique item. Maybe temporary vendors where you can buy rare and or ultra rare resources. All the gear made from these will be BOE so the money will sink out of the economy. Perhaps we will see consumables put into game. Heal pots, buffs in a bottle, illusions, etc. Maybe even the ability to use bribe money to pull levers instead of using diplomacy. All reward the people that have lots of the duped gold.


On the other hand your left with increasing the costs of repairs and/or items such as arrows or components used by crafter I.E. Fuels and such. Which will drain money but penalize those that haven't made a bunch of cash due to the inflated prices.

But I guess its all about numbers. Less people are likely to stay away from the dirty money. You'll piss off a larger portion of the playerbase by deleting the money. Less cancellations by taking money sink route.

Another problem with not deleting the duped money is that it also shows that sigil does not have the conviction to take a shot at the RMT problem. Deleting the duped money will strike a blow at them, granted they will recover they always do. But it will also make people think twice about buying gold if in fact the gold they bought is deleted.



There is no question that if we are able to determine that a player has duped the coin he now owns that the coin will be removed and the account disciplined leading up to the possibility of the character itself being deleted.

We are extremely dedicated to combating the Secondary Market in Vanguard, however, wiping money from those who did not take part in the Secondary Market or exploit should not be penalized and we will do everything we can to prevent that from happening.

The economic problems are not as drastic as some may think, do they exist? Yes, but a money wipe is a very distant thought at this point and as stated before we have many plans in the works to resolve the abundance of coin in the hands of legitimate players that do not negatively impact the game.
