Delaying game for extra gold Options

[Mjolnir88]

What are people's thoughts regarding delaying the game to get extra gold via the warrior and thief strongholds?

Essentially if you have either stronghold you have access to infinite gold as very few quests have deadlines.

Doesn't seem like much of a problem to me. The rate of gold income from delaying the game sucks compared to the gold earning rate of progressing through the game normally.

Alot of players dont even want the hassle of going to the thief guild every week to pay, collect and delegate. It's too annoying for an average of 1000 or so per week. (~1650 exected value of earnings minus ~ 600 per week of tribute). It's incredibly lame, so just take the sword.

Warrior stronghold, 500 per week...bleh chump change. Run back and forth 50 extra times for 3500 gold? come on now...

Ok the playhouse is half decent (but keep in mind you have to forego the lump sum of 10k); your party isnt strong enough early on to clear prison. By the time you're strong enough for prison, you could progress normally and earn gold way faster than all 3 strongholds put together.

Selling mage guild potions to amass gold? Only an insane person would do that. It takes freaking 5 minutes to walk all the way around copper coronet. I never even go get the potions, unless I'm already up there for something else, which is almost never.

Ranger's guild is a much shorter walk, plus the potions are useful and worth keeping.

If someone is willing to sit at his/her computer and spam the same motions over and over again, for like 700 game days worth, just to net 500k or so of gold. They have bigger problems, independent of this mod, and beyond help. Blocking this delay-game exploit will not change anything for those people, as they will cheat in some other way and continue lying to themselves on a daily basis.
