Player Number

[DR.]

Maybe a double XP week is in order?

If it doesn't achieve the goal of attracting more players, it will at least make the grind for upgrades less tiresome.

2x mats.

I guess you are being ironic since even on the AH materials get thrown at you at impressively low prices to soak up the few gold coins that are around right now. On top of that, drop rates can be (and have been) changed accordingly whereas the amount of gold distributed so far has mainly been influenced by XP events (not considering major quest overhauls).

In any case, it feels like the item upgrades overachieved their goal and a little influx of gold couldn't hurt.

No more mats please. Can't get any gold because of the crazy drop rate You now loot most of what you need for crafting

Anyway, I'm actually surprised by the amount of new players I've seen over the past week or so

1.1x gold.
