I've said it before. I'll say it again:

Full-fledged Goblin NPC-run Casino. The cartels are good at this sort of thing!

Pay gold for tokens only usable in said Casino (no refunds!). Win wonderful prizes (mounts, vanity items, perhaps filler gear slightly lower iLevel than current Raid quality). That little companion pet could end up costing a lot of gold by the time you finally won enough tokens to buy it.

Slots, Poker (maybe playable against other players?), in-casino Arena Matches viewable by onlookers from the stands - all with the ability to spend tokens on for gambling's sake.

That would be a gold sink. Yes, it would be 'borrowing' from Dragon Quest, but I think it would be so much fun - and it could possibly create an entirely new subculture to the game.

If the opportunity comes up, I'll mention this yet again until Blizzard makes it happen.

That's a mighty nice Tundra Mammoth you've got there. Would be a shame if it lost a kneecap due to a freak tire-iron mishap. By the by, I'm sure you'll get Mr Grabitall's money back to him by the end of the week. I know you're good for it. Right?
