What is normal?
I mean, I understand. I honestly want it severely reduced considering ANY new player (especially a free to play one) is not going to be willing at this point to put in the effort to farm at these rates.
But what is normal?
Right now it is 85~:1.
Is normal half that?
Is normal a third of that?
Is normal 1:1?
You have to add more to this.
"Nothing more to add to that."
This is the exact example of useless information.
You provide a problem without a solution.
Problems without solutions are problems.
Provide a reasonable solution and maybe they will hear you out.

I personally think a reset of crystals (held at [for about 2 months]) to about ~40:1 would be good.
Our crystal ratio is not the same and never will be what it was before the TR bug, before our merge.
Even well before the TR bug, NA's crystals ratio was much higher than EU's, therefore, naturally it was going to raise.
We also have a SIGNIFICANT gold increase to everyone.
Which is also going to cause a natural rise.
So, what we all want...that 20:1 or lower, will not and can not happen again.
I think "Normal" would be about 40:1 and I am absolutely 100% for fixing the ratio.

However!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In order to avoid having to do this constantly.........
The gem shard ratio needs to be lowered to "40:1" (or whatever that ratio is that is acceptable) and FROZEN. So that people can still USE it and exchange crystals and gold, however, it will not increase or decrease in price. This will allow for all of those with large quantities of gold that they're holding onto, to not raise the crystal ratio for everyone else. After this has been done for a month, two months, six months (whatever the acceptable amount of time is) then unlock the crystal price and let it rise 100% NATURALLY (without some TR buggers gold and crap.) Natural rise WILL occur, of course it will. As we level we get more gold from quests and what not, however, we also have to spend more gold on other things, so it "kind of" evens out. But the longer the game lives, the higher the crystal ratio will go.

TL;DR version:

Yes, reset the crystal ratio to a lower amount. Freeze that crystal ratio (but allow usage of the exchanger) for a month or two or six, then unfreeze it and let crystals rise NATURALLY without exploit influenced gold. This is your best (and in MY opinion ONLY) solution to this problem, I believe.

Thanks for readin'

40:1 - 45:1 would be great!
There is no mobile payment option so I cant buy cristals this way. It would have be a great relief for my ingame wallet and my pain nerves when I need to buy something from bountique.

old refractor value also had a LARGE influence on the exchangerate
for getting gold nothing was better than farming wild shore (only thing that was better ->umoira rabbits-farm)
i felt like the game is paying me for upgrading my gear, haha
having this goldspill gone will also affect the exchangerate over long time

Nothing more to add.

Isn't the exchange rate indexed to buy and sell crystals?
Now that gold income from farming, etc has decreased won't that exchange rate stabilize by itself?
Aren't prices on AH items also based on this exchange rate?
This can't be changed from 1 day to another.

Actually you're right, it kinda dropped from 87-88~ gold to 84 now atm so I think it will go lower over time. But can't tell for sure.

Hmmm, why?

Because you have too much gold and want to change it?

Have you people forgotten that the rate is controlled by players, the more gold there is and is being exchanged to bc's, the higher the rate will be.

Last time when the rate was reset, it was within minutes if not seconds, it went high again.

Why not?
Game is pretty cheap right.

Gawd -_-

Well,

Cheap or not, there's a whole economy around the exchange rate, or gold income whatever you want to call it.

If i buy "item X" now for Z amount of gold, if they change the exchange rate to half, my item value will be Z/2 gold. Every other thing in game where you spend gold directly will stay with same prices (charges, upgrades, etc).

So it's preferable to economy readjust itself in time.
