Then quit giving us 87g or whatever it is for the daily heroic, etc.

We only have the gold because Blizz is making it available.

Uh, no, that would be the absolutely worst thing to do. The dailies are what provides money to the above mentioned lower class, not the middle or upper. AH players don't do dailies because they have other means to get money. Dailies generate more gold, yes, but they generate it at the right level. If you take dailies away, the people not playing the AH meta game will tumble to a point where they can no longer afford the activities they actually enjoy (raiding, heroics, questing) and will have to take up farming jobs that'll suck the fun right out of the game for them and flood the market.

Gold sinks, at this point, are pretty much a requirement to syphon the money off from the top, not the bottom. It's the difference between taxing the rich and taxing the poor.

@Cricket

I believe they were referring to the sum of gold given from the completion of a heroic dungeon. (which used to be a daily heroic until they did the 7 per week thing)
