Increase Gold Reward for Quest

Personally, I think raising quest rewards would only exacerbate the problem, the game needs more gold sinks for hardcore players and/or gold nerfs for crete, sparta and lategame questing (skirmish and levelling quests are the only thing that are balanced or underpowered gold wise imo). Earlygame EP from questing is the only EP gain that might need a change (buff) imo.

If the Project Celeste team look to address gold abundance by bringing in bigger cuts for the auction house and/or COD, beware how it may skew trading in favour of straight up trading, and how any cost on exchange also puts pressure on pricing for that method of exchange (so unfortunately while a 5/10/x% exchange cost on all gold transactions between players would be most fair, it would leave casual players feeling most shortchanged because while there's less gold going round, everything's x% higher than it would be to cover the cost, in theory).

More items to spend on at vendors (cosmetic? consumable? gear? expensive new crafting plans for different things?) that people particularly later on in the game would want to get might help alleviate problems with gold, and looking at releasing quests that only give EP/chests/other currencies/more crafting materials.

Maybe being able to purchase another crafting workshop slot or two, or upgrade the base storage slot with a huge amount of gold could also help, or making the vault storage upgrades (that are EP) a gold purchase option (as well) at similar scaling, but for much larger sums?

Maybe the EP legendaries an EP or gold purchase option could help too, that's what seems to drive the value behind EP, and could suck huge amounts of gold out at once with 250k, 500k priced items.
