This is just wrong. It's not like the quest gave players that much gold that often. I'm so upset that they changed the quest reward- it used to be a nice little surprise if you got something good every now and then, but now it's just another way to screw the players over.
First they upped the food needed for dragons (ie: Winter used to only need 25,000 food to get to level 10, now it needs 37,500), and now they remove our only gold quest? It's just wrong.
