Right now, there’s too much Gelt in circulation, causing item prices to skyrocket – which makes it really hard for new players to afford anything useful. My suggestion: Make exclusive cash items like Lootpets, Dione, Fun Weapon or Dresses available only through the in-game lottery. This would help sink Gelt, lower prices, and make it easier for new players to get started and stay engaged.
What do you think?

AP has an exchange rate of 1:6. About three years ago, you could get a loot pet for 4 million.
As a player who can’t spend a lot of money on AP to upgrade their weapon to +15, you barely have a chance to get a boss item. So, you have to buy everything in-game.
However, you earn too little Gelt until you reach the Elite Dungeons. That’s why removing the Gelt lottery from the game would be a good option. Instead, players could have the chance to receive exclusive items through luck.

gelt is becoming a problem. the current economy seems to rush into an inflation. items getting more expensive rapidly, especially equipment.
to add to the original post: i love the idea of having a chance to win cash items through ingame money lottery tickets. yet i would want to throw the idea into the room to make them No Trade / Character Bound. gladly taking opinions on this!

Gelt and inflation are indeed still a problem, which is why we actively work on getting more Gelt out of the game (e.g., travel cards). However, the fact that certain item prices rise and fall is not directly connected to the inflation issue, but rather because the market for certain items is saturated (Realm has been out for 7+ years, dresses are mostly old and already owned by many players, etc.).
The lottery is definitely something that could use a rework - it feels pretty useless at the moment and could be improved to some degree. BUT it should probably stay more of a fun gimmick rather than something too serious, since it’s still rng - and I’m not sure we really need even more of that in the game.
