Increase gold rewards on quests

[Pandip]

I know we are very early in the new setting.

I know that it is really easy to complain about "not getting enough" because we don't have the conveniences of established server vaults.

I know we are trying to avoid supply bloat and look at things from a different perspective and we want to avoid knee-jerk reactions.

However...

After having done most of the max 7 quests with a variety of different groups - ranging from fairly well optimized to totally, painfully random - it feels almost absurd how little gold they give. The quests that do give gold (some don't, like Caravan Protection), only give something like 50-75. These are not remotely easy quests. It is impossible to make gold from just questing.

We make a lot of jokes and memes about how frustrating it is to see everyone "become a merchant" when they have stuff to sell. But it's literally the only way to make money right now. The discrepancy between how quickly you can make gold at 5 and how grueling it is to make gold at 6 is astounding.  And unless I'm missing something critical, it's not like there are a lot of other ways to wrack in an income right now.

Thoughts?

Disagreeing with one reason. The rough economy is intentional.

Dinars are fewer and more  valuable than groats in the previous chapter; and I feel that's that was the point (especially with what they can buy right now). It also makes resources used to buff in battle all the more precious, which I think is an excellent incentive to keep people asking 'Should I drink this, or go at it mundane?'.

Just a thought!

If that is the intention, then we should halve the dinar gain from max 5 quests and embrace the (good) suffering of a goods driven, trade-based economy rather than a gold driven one.
