Just would like to hear peoples opinions on the Gold situation

If all you want is maximum div/hour forever (why?) you should never do anything besides flip and craft. Currency flowing towards things people don't want to do in an action RPG is only natural.

The feeding farmers with ~350k gold per day or you're losing big time currency is a problem that is hopefully fixed for good in 3.28. Mapping was a fair return on gold spent and can be ignored. People will be drowning in too much gold once they nerf crop shipping and then there's no more "do gold maps or play 2 hours per day, every day or else" pressure.

Yeah, if Kingsmarch is what is draining all your gold, it's kind of a self-inflicted issue. (Been there, stopped that.)

(Except maybe Rog, not sure about Disenchanting wages => Recombinating dust balance ?)
