this made my day
Let's play other games to be able to pay for this game 
This is what I have resorted to doing, as do many others.
100fg/mo vaults and 100fg/week transfers are not cheap. "Slashing" guilds do not function well without them. So that's 500fg a month right there that someone has to cough up, not that I mind but it does impact my views on this game being "Free"
I sell to skillers, try to grab every 1fg+ drop although a lot of times I am sharing them with someone who needs it a lot more than me, so I let the newer guys grab them. I have also never seen a 200+ item drop in any of my games, but I am just a young pup compared to some of you, so that doesn't really bug me much.
This topic has been discussed before, but I don't really remember the outcome. Pretty sure it got closed and nothing really changed.
I do think if the game actually dropped FG, or had a game-gold system in place, it would attract a lot of new people who wouldn't have to play D2/Rs/poker/etc to actually play and enjoy the game, and also be halfway decent at it. Think of the possibilities, you could use game gold for vaults/transfers, there could be a game-gold to FG transfer system where you could turn your gold that's found in-game into FG or vice versa, so many more possibilities but I do not see the Creator ever talking to the public about any of it until it is already implemented. Ok, maybe once I saw a post regarding "which way do you want this" but it's been a while.
In the end, it's his game. He can push it into whichever direction he wants. We are the players, and that direction will dictate how long or little we are here. I'm not sure why I even bothered to type all this out...
