It seems pretty obvious that gold is easier to come by since the last update. Noticed this almost from the start when NPC merchants are now out of coin half the time you talk to them. From what I am seeing according to the logs, the actual gold drops on containers and creatures appears to be OK (right?), but the many new items can be sold for a rather large amounts (right?).

So....the NPC merchants have taken notice that their funds are getting depleted rather quickly in some cases - like what happens now when, for example, a level 15 sells a merchant maybe only 5-6 of the new items they gained from their sewer diving or whatever and wipes out all the money in that store until the next server reset. A change is already coming in the next update which will limit how much they merchants are willing to pay, and how the mysterious allies will be assisting to make PC owned merchants more 'generous' to their owners.

An IC post has already been developed for the IC forum here explaining it and will be posted when the new update occurs. But in short as a forewarning, expect PC merchants to pay roughly half of what they are paying now; however their gold supply and inventory will be replenished much more often than it is now. So if a NPC merchant runs out of gold there will be a decent chance it will be replenished without having to wait for a server reset - if the merchant isn't in a heavily travelled area.
