You asked me how that made the economy suck, and I basically told you the economy went as not planned. I mean its like putting rupees on a server but revolving everything around event coins or something.

To you it may not suck but to me it does.

If you think about it. Back in medevil times. They used Jewels for currency aswell as gold coins.

Because he intended for plat/gold/whatever to be used as currency, not diamonds? Jewels as currency? Awesome. But just Diamonds? No.

This makes them a good unit of money because people are more frugal with how much of them they spend, and they are sought after for many purposes.

That kind of kills the point of having a given currency though.

Also, don't make the argument that platinum is useless because of the diamonds, because 70% of the game's items come from platinum coin expenditure.

You mean items that are simply in the game or items people actually use?
