Return of Reckoning

Is there any gold sink in the game other than buying crafting materials (or does that use the special currencies)? I remember it used to cost I think 5gold to respec. Does the economy not get out of control without a way to remove gold from the game? I suppose there are healers too.
Apologies if these are daft questions, I'm new to RoR, played the original release a bit.

Crafting materials, travel fees, auction fees, healer fees, bag/bank upgrades, guild upgrades.

And people too lazy to craft buy potions and talismans from AH.

Most of that gold goes back into the economy.
Gold sinks are things that drain gold from the economy.

There are players who never waste his gold... and never will do it, they are the "gold sink" because they just want to accumulate gold without spending it (And all are dwarfs...)

At least it drains your own gold but yes, you are right, it's no true drain.

There are a few, but not enough arguebly.

Special dye vendor.
Flight master
NPC healer
RR 82+ dyes
AH listing fee (scales with city stars)
Fort weapon goldcost
lvl 16 and lvl 38 mounts
Guild claim / involve

and thats about it.

gold sink ruins this game, if they removed pve too it would have well over double the players

Crafting is so simple and useful BOE items are so few that gold isn't that important. Just make sure your first character is cultivator and apothecary, craft healing pots and once you have a stack of blue for your self sell the rest. If you play alot you will make a minimum of 100 gold a week on this alone as the market for healing pots strangely seem to never end.
