Morbo: I understand your point, i just get the feeling that in most games you start out with no gold but get a vast amount later on...too much in my view.
So to balance the ecconomics slightly, getting a job and getting slightly less gold wouldnt be too bad.
They just has to balance it more imo. DD1 was way too unbalanced. After a while you had an infinitive ammount of money. This was basiclly because you KNEW that everything you bought would be whorse than everything you found, so you only bought potions.
