@Jamesmor Guild wars 2 has been free to play for years now and there is a humongous demand for gold, it's literally the main reason people play and farm stuff is to earn gold for weapon skins and such, the demand is there but people are unable to get far spamming gold selling there, it's unheard of to see any. There is easily over thousands of weapon skins alone in that game nevermind armor and decorations etc
I myself spent entire days almost farming events for gold, I know how it is and you can never have enough
