Safer Seas: Instead of limiting Gold gained, create a new currency

    While Safer Seas does need to have a handicap since there isn't any risk of PVP, I think having it be dropped by 70% is a little extreme.

    I would recommend instead of limiting gold gained, add a new currency to the game.

    I suggest bringing back Silver to the game, have the PVE mode have everything be Silver... basically the same as gold, but it can only be used in the PVE servers.

    Or, if you wanted to give a bit of a "reset" to the High Seas: start transitioning the main game currency to Silver. For a few months have all items turned in give both gold and silver, giving people a chance to spend all the gold they have acquired, but any new items added to the game cost silver, and then slowly transition everything to silver. (Or if you want to make it feel 'better' have it be Platinum).

    The 30% value does work... though I would also recommend having World Events turned off on the PVE servers... but I personally think the extremely slow progression would turn people off the game instead of just the mode.

    Why the game has no economy, no trading, gold is meaningless.

    I'd think that wooden tokens as Safe Seas currency would be more appropiate.

    i really doubt they would make a new currency just for the tutorial servers, you gotta understand the pve servers are a extended tutorial where you can learn more about the quests and events and pratice them before going into the game, the cap is a way to keep new players motivated and gaining something while learning and praticing, its not a private server for you to cheese and avoid players encounters

    also let me tell you a secret, gold is useless, just play the game casualy and soon enought you will have more than you can spend, its the same with reputation, it doesnt take much to reach max level on every company, what really matters in this game is completing achievements, thats the end game, now having a place do them safely without a player threat its pretty cheesy, i dont care about new players getting paid while learning, that wont devaluate my gold, but i care about them getting for free the achievements i and so many other worked hard for
