just add gold and be done

So you're accusing the devs of being irrational ideologues who do things regardless of thought or reason?

Yepp he exactly does say it.
GGG´s reason is based on lore, stranded people cant eat gold so they see no reason in collecting it.

I have another irrational viewpoint:
There is no uniform currency.
Euro = Exalted Orbs
Krueger Rand = Yeweller Orb
Rubel = Orb of Augumentation
USDollar = Orb of Transmutation
Atleast this will happen when europe starts building their own rating agencys.

Read the dev diary. GGG gives specific reasons why they chose a barter system regardless of lore.

How about this:

Regardless of economic theories, since GGG has made their position on the matter clear as crystal, there still won't be gold in PoE.

Now, maybe if this was a debate team thing then all the sociologists and economists on these boards would win, alas that is not the case.

I'm still not sure why people don't see Wisdom Scrolls as a replacement for gold. It's the most basic currency in the game and you can up-trade it at the vendors for the other orbs. The only real difference I see is that you don't typically have millions of wisdom scrolls and they aren't called 'gold'.

Wisdom Scrolls have exactly the same problem that Gold in Diablo 2 has - inventory restrictions that act as a price ceiling and force players to use a pseudo-currency in order to get around it.

You mean to tell me that your entire inventory and stash are completely full of wisdom scrolls? That's 60 spots in your inventory and 576 spots in your stash for a total of 25,440 wisdom scrolls. Is that really too restrictive for you or are you just bullshitting? My guess is that latter.

Just give the people their gold.

As much as I like the current currency system, I'd trade it any day for gold just to shut these guys up.

Boring old gold in exchange for a nice clean forum and in game chat.

My sanity is much more important.

This will never work. These type of people will always find something to complain about.
