Gold should be "upped" on "Treasures of...." Monsters....
As everyone knows, the Paragons imply dieing quite commonly.
This means, that, due to insurance costs, the deaths tolls can add up quite fastly.
I am not sure about how much others' insurance cost with prized items and all that but, personally, each death cost me about 13k and they add up fast.
Besides the fact that the killing is too fast paced to try getting as many drops as possible and, consequentially, one does not gather much gold from the corpses, they do not have much to start with, even if one wanted to spend time looting them....
Most have about 100 gp, a few like 300 gp and only rarely some with 500 gp or so can be found.
To put together the much that one's own death cost in Deceit in insurance, means lots and lots of corpses to spend time to loot rather then focusing on kills to try get as many drops as possible.
So, it would be nice for the upcoming segments to see a significant upping of the gold that Monsters may have on their corpses thus helping more to "make it up" for one's own cost in insurance of death by having to only loot a few corpses and not need to have to waste too much time to check too many of them.
A lot of players do not use the Enhanced Client with the auto-loot thing (the Classic Client does not have such a thing...) and even that one in the Enhanced Client, takes time to sit there by the corpse, it is not an instant thing... so, if gold was upped, one could reduce the number of corpses to loot (and thus time to spend on that), and still come up with some gold to cover up deah insurance costs.

ESRB warning: Some Blood. LOTS of Alcohol. Some Violence. LOTS of Bugs
I've gone through a undertaker staff a half. So I've died a lot.
At 13k per death, 10 deaths which are easily added up in a half hour or so, become 130k loss....
So, in a few hours of gameplay and several tens of deaths it can soon become millions lost in deaths....
I just thought that is would have been nice to recover this gold from looting corpses... but at 100 gp or even 300 gp on average on corpses one would need to spend half of the time killing, and half of the time looting the corpses thus getting then less drops....
As some others have recommended already, sell a piece of the drop and it should cover the insurance cost for the ENTIRE event already.
I don't mind boosting the gold from paragons thought but you still need to loot it from corpse, this is not for insurance cost but to justify the time needed to kill those things especially for para rams and the stupid para sword. Most of the time I will just find a room to lock the sword in. It is created just to annoy you just like a fly in real world which will never go away.
and that is ok. That is what you believe, that is fine. I just do not agree. and that is fine.
Probably you should also understand the idea of inflation. While everyone is getting more gold, you are not getting any richer and you'll be as poor as now who still can't feed your hungry pets.
My only problem is with the "amount" of gold that currently corpses have....
It is so miniscule (100 go or 300 gp, very rarely 500 gp), that I have to spend time to manually loot corpses TONS of times to cover up 1 death that cost me 13,000 gp in insurance....
If we consider an average of 200 gp per corpse (the 500 gp is so rare to come by that it makes no sense to consider it), to make it up for 1 single death cost of insurance I need to manually loot, and thus spend precious time that I could be killing more stuff, instead, for more drops, some 65 corpses....
That is a whole lot of time guys, to manually stand still, open up a corpse and drag gold from that corpse for 65 corpses.... and that is only for 1 death !!
As we all now, deaths with Paragons in Deceit easily pile up, so, those 65 manual lootings, easily become hundreds, thousands to try make it up for the insurance cost...
One can easily see how many kills a player might be missing out if they have to stop by and manually loot gold from so many corpses to make it up for the insurance costs.
If gold was higher on corpses, significantly higher, one could at least cut down that manual looting for gold to 10, 15 corpses at most to make it up for 1 death.
Out of curiosity, is there any particular reason why most players are after the Bone pieces and there is not much interest for the other types ?
Never be afraid to challenge the status quo
That being said I can live with the current system (which means less gold in my pocket) but scripters and those illegally inflating the economy should be eradicated, since they must be one of the main reasons we have this problem with gold in the first place.
