Eventually you'll get so much gold that you're screen will be covered in numbers!

Liberty to it, but they could program it so it says things like 1M when it gets high enough. Doesn't matter about the thousands amounts at that time because you will have a ridiculous amount of gold. But it would be best to earn what we get. All in all at the time the new weapons came out I got all kinds of rares and Famed weapons. I sold most of my rares, and some repeat Famed weapons and hit the gold cap with no issue. I surely have hit the 1M mark myself if I had anything to buy with all of that gold, but alas buying anything with that gold is limited.

I am not saying that it matters at this time to have no gold cap, but in preparation for ship customization or just new ships in the fututre I feel the Big D could forget about a cap. (Supposing I will even be around in 5 years that is.)

With 18 pirates to manage the closest I've come to the current gold cap is about 1/4 of the way. Say what you ask? Well, my pirates are all different levels and over the past few months I've had 3 of them come into needing warships, and I have 3 or 4 more closing in on it again. Keeping gold for me is next to impossible. (Plus, I'm a clothes freak. LOL) For me, there's just no point in a cap raise yet.

I voted Yes. I have Max gold right now, but if ships come out really costing 200k then I am down to compleat 0. And do not even have enough gold to go buy Ammo to stary to plunder with. Now for the gold caps to come out next week I do not think it would be needed. But as long as we can get more gold before a little before the new ships come out the that would be good. As James said, they should do what they did for the War Frigate. They made it so the War Frigate was 60k and max gold was 65k So you could buy the ship but still have some wiggle room with buying Repars, ammo etc..

unlimited gold would be nice

Its been closed but I have an idea. Why not have the option to bury your treasure somewhere. Your pirate can carry 200,000 but let him bury it and collect more. After all if you decide you want to change you weapon skills thats gonna drain your gold quick. Or if you want to rename your ship, you have to sell for half the price then repurchase at full price.

Because then I will forget where I put it >_<

They really don't need a new gold update until the new ships come out. Until then, I am happy having max gold. ^_^
