Talk:Money

Consolidation
While there are quite a lot of different things we could say about currency in GW, I move that we combine the Gold and Platinum articles into one article, and make the originals simply redirect to that one, to avoid repetition. For example, the Platinum article is listed as a stub, but I can't think of anything that could be added to that article which would not also be relevant to Gold.

Spending Money
The droknar run cost should go, things like that aren't fixed and don't belong. 14:47, 17 February 2006 (CST)

The whole spending money sections hould go. Nice consolidation though. --Karlos 22:25, 17 February 2006 (CST)


 * The "Spending Money" section was going to be a section which eventually had rough prices for items, as:


 * a) We don't have any kind of central resource on things which are "buyable", and


 * b) We don't have info on how much things cost e.g. rough guidelines on how much various items cost when purchased from traders/other players (for example, black dye costs ~8k, and so forth).


 * c) Since we have a section on "Obtaining Money", it follows we should have a section on what to do with it.


 * d) This article is labelled as a "stub"; what more information can be put on it aside from how to spend money?


 * e) There is no other place I can think of for putting this information.


 * But thanks for the "Nice consolidation" compliment! :) Kidburla 20:29, 22 February 2006 (CST)


 * Unfortunately, you are running up against de facto Guildwiki policy of not tracking ephemeral stuff like trade prices, guild ranks, and so on. You will have to be a bit more politically nimble if you want to suggest a change to this policy. For instance, I think you can make a lot of hay (by means of analogy) out of a new effort to track drop rates of items. Good luck! 20:48, 22 February 2006 (CST)


 * I think we might allow a "pricewatch" section for goods that you can buy at Traders (Runes, Dye, Materials, ...), because trader prices can easily be verified ingame, and actually they don't fluctuate that much. But prices negotiated between players vary widely and should never be put on this wiki, strictly! -- 21:03, 22 February 2006 (CST)
