The demand for charcoal has raised with it's addition to many crafts without reducing the amounts needed or amount gained, it's still rather tedious to run rokhala packs for ~80 charcoal each, if that's split into running multiple inland gold packs to sail one cargo for 15/30 coal it will become massive time/labor sink to try to run packs for coal and coal prices will go up high, as unless gold values for inland packs are significantly increased, the only reason to run them will be to create cargo for yourself to sail
the reason noone is running normal packs for gold is that it's big gold and labor sink rn, you are spending a lot of time to "lose gold" when compared to other readily available incomes like purses (even low gear can farm purses in peace and get better gold for their time then packs, not even talking about the exponential difference in gold/labor) or crafting (hell even illegal farm of baobabs might be comparable labor for less time) and the gold you invest is locked for 22h without reasonable interest (5% on normal is bad, 2% on cargo where u invest half the income is a joke)
3.0 trade system is crucial part of any "why is this server better then live" discussion especially since you guys refuse to adress the massive balance issues (I know you always say it's not worth since there's new patch, but guess what, there is always a new patch, even after new patch it's not hard to adjust for it and the new patch won't be coming for half a year)
if you are going to roll with the patch without making massive changes to these issues people won't have a good reason to play here, free patron and higher exp gain is not going to carry this server, people left their gear and land on live because they weren't happy with the state of the game, they will do the same here, many people are straight up refusing to play in this patch right now, paying taxes and waiting for better class balance and economy, what happens when it get even worse
you have a community here that is willing to put time and effort into helping you improve the game, all you need to do is to show that you are willing to do it and ask for ideas and data, you should use it before the remaining players lose interest in the server, as coming back from minimal population won't be possible
