The cycle of ROTMG: AGHH! I DIED! *rage quit* (3 days later) ok, back to this game... (1 day - 2 weeks later) yay! 8/8! (1 week later) AGHHH! I DIED! BETTER BUY SOME GOLD TO REBUILD! (restart the cycle)
I think you should be allowed to earn gold some other way, even if it is very slowly. for example, people pretty much HAVE to spend at east $10 to get the fullness out of the game, because they can only have 1 vault and 1 char slot, and that's how I went my first year of this game, until I finally got $10 just now. Maybe 100 fame for 5 gold? Defeat Oryx and get 10 gold or max out and get 50 gold? or maybe they earn some god when they die? + if you agree.
I think that fame should not be so useless in this game and you have to work so hard to get it. I mean can you name 2 good things you can even find that are worth spending fame on(discluding pirate rum that suks and pet stuff)
