its logical.
technically 70% of todays currency is nothing but a credited IOU to 3 families controlling all the banks. and nothing more.

it be easier just calling it what it is instead of money.

It's just a trope of science fiction based on extrapolations of current practice around currencies.

Why does it bug you?

It should be silver, gold is too valuable to be used as a standard. Gold just represents more value in silver.

It always inflamed my autism how a gold coin is usually about equivalent to a penny.
Why do you have to get like 200 gold as a tiny reward? Just make it 2 gold coins, everything in stores costs multiples of 100 anyway.

World of Warcraft does that well interestingly.

Well, it does at lower levels anyway.

At higher levels crazy quests should get rewarded in rare items, jewels and gold bars if the value of somebody defeating a demon army or something is insanely high. Not like 20000 gold coins.

It's a small thing to worry about in a game though.

Because said rare items would be inflated to a sense of worthlessness, just like current currency in whatever game.

Like 75% of all the gold ever mined is in vaults right now. Another 15% is in rings and other jewelry.

Gold is expensive because people horde it.

If all of that entered the market as coins, then they would be worth like a penny.

It's me again, I don't even MMO but its common sense.

I still go all Federal Reserve in Skyrim, though with item duplication glitches.

>>320773368
Well that's your fault for breaking the economy.

Although yeah, you don't even have to for that to occur naturally.

There ISN'T a finite amount of resources in Skyrim, new stuff pops into existence.

That's true, but people pay a lot for rare chips. Just one evening farming chips in the undernet with your overpowered navi and you're rich.

Well, you need to be the hero for that. Most people are shmucks who lose battles against mettaurs and set Recover 10 as their default chip.
>>
>>320776573
It always bothered me that most people have shitty generic Navis where it seems that it's not that hard for normal people to get a good one.
