Wait, if we're pirates, then why do we have a gold limit - especially so low? I believe, as a pirate, that we should be able to have more than just 200,000 gold. (Surely Captain Gunn didn't have 200,000 gold and was considered the richest pirate)

When I was a lower level I never got near the capacity but when I maxed my Buck I started reaching the limit a lot and I agree why should a pirate have a limit? I would love to have more gold.

I used to think that an increase in gold limit was necessary but not so much anymore. I suppose if there is nothing that you desire in the game that can be acquired via gold purchasing, then you may not have anything to spend it on. But if one is not spending gold at all, why would that pirate even need a higher gold limit? If there are many enticing, gold purchased items in the game, then you surely spend it and can recovery it so quickly these days.

I probably could hit max gold, from zero gold, several dozen times in just a single day, if I stayed in game all day. For me, I loooooove to morph-- whether for maxing my own pets, with hopes of getting great traits to turn up, or for helping others get the pets, traits and pedigree they are after. On my main pirate I have 7 houses, each filled with pets...and I still morph like crazy. In the 10 minutes waiting for the morphing timer to end, if I wanted to, I easily can recover 30k, 40k or even 50k gold...and at any given moment I can go from 0 gold to 200,000 gold in about 40-50 minutes tops-- without ever stepping foot into a Tower, dungeon or battle (boring but efficient).

For me the increase of gold isn't necessary because I spend it constantly and regaining it so easily. Add companions bringing in gold from Plunderin' and gear to sell from Scavengin', and pets bringing in pet gear to sell, just makes filling back up that much easier. In most cases there's only so much that you can spend on, outside of morphing. Once you acquire as many houses and as much décor as you desire, all the gear you can handle, then that pretty much leaves morphing. If you are not into morphing there's not much else to spend gold on, so no need for a gold limit increase. If you happen to be into morphing you can easily & very quickly recover gold used for morphing costs, so an increase in gold limit wouldn't much matter.

Sure, from merely a status viewpoint more gold would help "ooh & ahh", but there's only so much we can spend it on.

i see what you mean maybe we could upgrade our gold pouch with crowns kind like the legend of zelda games where you would have to upgrade your stuff like arrows bombs etc so we can hold more space plus i bet when we get to el dorado were probably going to get like 1000000000 gold or in other words a million or it will fill our enite pouch also what if we could depoist gold in our banks that would be really handy if we could do that
