So to avoid getting scammed :
Trade the +1 billion items with items that are worth silk currency , like on some "old" servers , the premium plus is worth a billion and silk is like : 1 silk = 3-4 millions .
Anyway silk items won't drop in price for a long time .
But still didn't find out how is that supposed to decrease goldbots .
ok,
goldbots are there to collect gold, more gold then they use themselfs for repot and stuff. gold to sell. if there arent any buyers for their gold there is no reason to goldbot for more gold than you use.
instead of gold the most trading will be in silk items when it's more accepted. prices of gold will drop because there will be more supply than demand. (everyone has spare gold they dont use, i have 70m at lvl 52, yeah i walk around in NPC stuff and tier drops i get (accepted for weapons, i buy those 2 and 3 tier via consig)) so there will be more supply then demand because people will ask 2 pops instead of 20m for their d6 sos... or 2 pops and a few globals? that currency is way more stabile so to protect yourself you want to have silk stuff instead of gold. gold prices will crash bigtime.... everyone has spare gold...
even so, there will be no reason to buy gold for real cash because you just got that pop item for your i dunno +3 staff. you just trade that pop with a guildy for X mil to buy the invisible/stealth detect pills you want if you are short on cash but there is no other reason at all why you would need lots of gold anymore.
soooo, you dont need a bulk of gold. gold will be only a model to calculate how much you are going to pay in silk (at first). + maybe some change as sweetener.
why would goldbots keep on farming gold when people are reluctant to buy gold and buy silk items instead because you get what you buy. not wait for player X on spot Y and player X doesnt show up. silkroad wont screw you over + silk items are accepted.
it would ruin the gold bizz because silk bizz will dominate the servers... and that's one way, cash trapped in the game never to get out. the goldbots would need other models to get the $ they are looking for. they might try to dominate SP farming? ong spots? pay to get farmed?
eitherway, it will be no longer goldbots, no longer endless streams of nubs f*cking up grind spots on lower/mid lvls. i doubt grinding for sox is viable. taxiing migt be viable though, but that's less hurtfull to the game i think. the money which would go to goldbot companies wont go that way. + just high lvl people can make decent money taxiing nubs which would make taxiing prices more competitive might goldbot companies start taxiing services.
eitherway, gold prices will get in a slum when there are enough silk items to go around (it will take a few months to get that much silk items going around just for trading, not for using)
if you are a determined to buy item X and you need to spend $, the seller accept silk stuff as currency.... why take the risk of getting scammed or waiting for your gold when you can get a direct trade with JM.....
[edit]
every currency is based on thrust. (although SRO is a bit manipulated because NPC's only accept gold xD that aside)
if there is no longer trust that you can buy the a sun for the same amount of gold the following day the prices will drop because everyone wants to buy that sun because that will have more worth the next day, that will even decrease the trust in the gold prices and eventually it will have no other use than to buy stuff at the NPC's,,
