RELATED: Some New World Legendary Crafting Materials Are Apparently Not Spawning in the Game

It may interest gamers to hear that New World was having an economic crisis even before the gold dupe glitch was discovered. As of writing, players are faced with an unusual situation where gold is leaving circulation faster than it can be replenished, causing the value of gold to skyrocket due to scarcity. This particularly applies to endgame players, who no longer have quests to rely on as a steady source of income. Players who don’t have enough gold to engage with key features like crafting, homeownership, or item repairs have often chosen to hoard their gold and resort to bartering with other players. It’s possible that this crisis was partly responsible for the player base taking advantage of the gold dupe glitch.

New World is available right now for PC.
