I see people buying massive amounts of gold.
What am I missing? Why do I need so much gold?

Buy low sell high maybe?

I personally buy igg because I get a better deal in trade chat for things like opals. I can get those for like 15 mil in game and on jsp people charge like 300mil

Ouh, that's a pro-tip.

Thank you.

1. Enchanting
2. Use gold to buy on diablo.trade
3. Sell to RTM/sites/3rd party etc

Masterworking takes a shitload of gold.

You can easily burn though 500-800million trying to double/triple crit a masterwork.

Yeah, true.
My question was to the ones buying 50bil +
You have to be really unlucky if you're blowing that when masterworking.

Oh idk, that’s just silly amounts. No reason anyone needs that other than do in game trades I guess.

Rerolling and getting stuff very fast via ingame trade chat.

idk, but price went from like 70/80fg per B to 40fg per B in the last 6/7 hours.
