I think once the black markets get full again, since all stock is staying for a year, there won't be enough ways to earn doubloons to buy a large majority of it, just like there has been for the past 10+ seasons. The only people who will be able to buy it all will be people alt cycling/exploiting. I don't even think people who camp the line will be able to get enough doubloon chests to buy all of what they want. Especially any player who either starts SoT or gets back into it after a break at any point after a few months from now when both black markets have over 10k doubloons worth of stuff to buy with a currency you can only earn either on a specific weekend event you probably haven't heard of since you're new or haven't paid attention to any SoT news because you were away from the game, or by getting literally hundreds of reaper chests. Right now you need to get over 250 reaper chests at grade 5 to be able to afford everything in both black markets. I don't think having doubloon pouches, ashen tomes, ashen chests, and other previously doubloon selling loot sell for doubloons is a bad thing, since the 4000 doubloon cap makes it literally impossible to hoard doubloons like some players did before.
The doubloon drought is going to happen again
@potatosord apart from the fact that there is also a substantial part of the player base that have all the “old” returning cosmetics.
Like me, the cosmetics i am able to purchase are the 2 new ones, ill omen curse and the new silver figurehead thingymabob.
Lemme stack a few FOTD and i can get them and then. Slowly get up to 4k cap.
And from my end there is exactly 0 trust they are going to be able to maintain monthly new doubloon cosmetics, as they have shown on multiple sides that they just seem to forget about this sorta stuff.
Emissary ledger rewards have been stagnant for multiple years now for multiple factions as an example

I don't think we can expect those to go on forever. If you started today, you'd need to place in the top tier for 12 months straight in 7 different ledgers (assuming HC & Guilds will continue to get items up to 12) to get everything. I think that's fine to call it a complete set and leave it alone.
