I had this idea in a previous thread, but I figured it was worth noting.
So the idea is (if it doesn't already exist) that we have a gold deflation addon. What it does is it displays large numbers of gold to whatever ratio you desire it to be. There could be pre-sets like timeframes in wow (dates/patches/expansions) for you to chose, or you can customize the deflation.
This is for those who have no problem making gold, but have the tendency of spending it after reaching a certain threshold (mines about 100-150k currently; used to be lower). We know we have this issue, but we know that we have failed to get over it.
The thing is, no matter how much I know inflation has occurred, I still see 40k as 40k. Even though it is as valuable as a mere 4K in the past.
So to save for a million (something I've done only once through desperate means), I need to trick my mind into thinking that I am saving for only 100k (which is my comfort zone). So the ratio is set to 1:10 (100k for every million).
So where will the minor amounts of gold display? Well let's say we are sticking to the 1:10 deflation ratio, and we have 10g. This gets scaled down to 1g. Now any amount in the tenths place gets thrown into the silver currency. So 1 gold is now 10 silver. Anything so extremely small like 9 copper will not be displayed, unless there was an optional decimal display.
So at the end of the month(s), when I've hit my destined 100k, I hit the switch to reveal my modern amount. A small loan of a million gold.
