Gold Requirement for Trading is a Step Backward

I really wish there wasn’t a gold requirement for trading currency or conducting asynchronous trades between players.

If gold is needed for the Kingsmarch farming and shipping systems, fine, that’s a separate economy loop and I get it. But please, remove the gold cost for exchanging currency and asynchronous trading.

Both of these are fundamental quality of life systems that make trading more accessible and less of a headache for players. Adding gold as a gate just makes things more taxing... literally. It doesn’t make the process better, it just adds another layer of restriction where it isn't needed.

Gold should enhance gameplay not restrict basic player-to-player interaction.

It helps to combat bots so its very much needed. They also said they are increasing gold drops to help offset some of the extra gold requirements.
