Would love to see free gold for new char during alpha to buy a set of gear right from the start. I didnt even bother keeping resources for crafting or dust. i just sold everything to get silver i needed for my level.

    What if they want to test how the economy works, organically?

    This should only be done if they are testing raids and don't have enoughat the right level and gear to do it. Just my two cents.

    Isn't that what the PTR will be for? (Giving levels/ressources to test specific systems)

    This is an ALPHA ... there is plenty of time to test for economy etc. if they want people to test different classes and systems. why make it difficult to get there. from level 1-10 there is no need to make people scrap for silver to buy a set of armor/weapons at this point in the game. we are here to test the game mechanics and find bugs. Which a lot of people fail to understand... this is not a final game this is our PTR server! thats my point.

    They are testing performance and networking during phase 1, not actual content and balancing.

    no and A1 folks are testing the items, equipments, sets and all other things with gold. So that's taken care of on their end. While the masses does the economy. There will be a few wipes until Release and each wipe will gather data points on economy.

    I would guess that the lack of gold sources is because they want us to be grinding mobs, as that tests the servers the hardest. People running traveling to quests or gathering don't impact the servers nearly as much

    Your gold is with the commodities vendor.

    Found out they have done this already. When testing certain content there was a vendor you could buy gear that suited your play style.

    Ya I saw the video. They are collecting data and we are the data pawns. I'm fine with it.
