Elite members should be able to use it on more things then money and gold. Say, power leveling, or paid membership to games that require subscription or have to be bought. This way people have more options with the gold.

yeah, mmo gold really should be used for a lot of other things too, like more elite membership for example. I totally agree with you here.

I see what u mean but i'm not sure if i like the idea. there is always a downside... unfortunately.
