New currencies will be just like old Diablo games. Items. Get to MFing, sell your items, not your gold. (Sell the gold if you can, but don't count on it as a primary income source)
People are always looking for high-end items, not gold.
But EU's RMAH is dead. How can we sell items if no one buys them? I've never sold anything on RMAH, even good items, which then were sold on GAH in few hours or even minutes.
Then you're doing it wrong. I've made over $500 the last 2 weeks just from selling items via RMAH with 1 bot. Don't know what your issue is.
And as gold becomes worthless, more and more items flock to RMAH, until GAH is mostly dead, people are forced to buy gold again, gold price goes up, items start coming back to GAH, less people buy gold, gold price flatlines, items start going back to RMAH...
It may wind up being permanently useless. I'd wager it'll cycle back, for those who have the patience and the finances to wait it out.
Sitting on D3 as a primary source of income isn't wise.
I predict a huge gold sink in the PvP patch. They will not allow the economy to totally tank, remember blizzard is making more than all of us combined. They have a huge stake in the economy of D3 and they can directly effect the exact way it plays out.
Mark my word gold sink comes with PvP.
eco boost from players coming back, gold prices go up because of this
gold sink will also cause prices to go up
I wouldn't be surprised to see it hit 1$ again
I'm not an economist or anything like that but this is my prediction.
