This is not really a problem by any means, but it added an element to fun to games like this. What to do with gold. There are few things that you could consider as money sucks in this game, in fact there are very few at all. So what can you do to help lighten the purse a bit?
Well you can become an avid buyer of rare dyes. As a buddy of mine does, he is now the proud owner about 30 black dyes for no other reason than to have them. You can twink out t1 character with t4 talismans and run around on a witch elf with 500 strength in t1. Buy items and give them away, I would say this is slightly less popular, but I have bough 3 guildies pairs of conquerors boots on out standing loans so that they could have them.
Out side of this there really is not a lot of spent money on in this game. Talismans are really the only thing that comes to mind since you need them for socketed items. Other than that I guess consumables but those are dirt cheap. Maybe we need a gambling feature introduced into war. I know EVE has EVE poker where it is winner takes all. What about introducing something else to help burn money. Like betting on zone control and so on, even EQ2 had the gambling goblin where for a few silver you could be rolling in the plat over night.
I think it would add a fun element and a way to arbitrarily waste money in the game. The only concern that I have from there would be the enticement it would give to gold farmers/sellers to hit the game even harder and heavier.

Heh, I'm one of those dye-buyers. I ended up not having enough gold for a mount on my Blackguard because I loved the look of Warlock Purple on my armor.
HAHA...sadly I have not hit that point, but I am sure it will find one, although I am fond of blood red personally. In fact if you see one on the order side AH on skull throne it is because I have not checked it yet.
I do think my buddy spent something like 3k gold to buy all of the black dyes he has so far, although that is not a lot when they go for 500gold +.
Heh, nice blog by the way. *blogrolled*
