2.) "If tweaking the in-game resource market so that buying and selling for in-game money is more of a feature throughout the lifespan of a match than it currently is - if that causes the company to collapse and for the game to disappear, then of course they shouldn't do it! But I personally think that's extremely unlikely to be the outcome."

3.) I appreciate that some gameplay mechanics might be designed to encourage Gold spending, and I don't have a problem with the principle of that. But neither you nor I have the information to make an informed comment on how proposed gameplay changes might affect overall Gold purchases, and it's not our place to do so anyway. We are players - we can comment and make suggestions on the gameplay only.
1.) & 3.) Au Contraire my forum friend, it is INDEED our business if it logically follows that said suggestions could jeopardize the game, it's viability, or possibility for improvement. And as far as this "But neither you nor I have the information to make an informed comment on how proposed gameplay changes might affect overall Gold purchases," that is a complete non sequitur. It does not logically follow. It is obvious that any proposed changes reducing revenue as a matter of the innate property of the suggestion can easily provide the knowledge that it is bad for the bottom line. Now to what extent, granted to your point, that is unknown, but I think it is in MY best interest to shoot down any suggestion that would make viability and improvement more difficult because of needless fiscal idea constraints.
