It's been over 4 years and we still don't have a means to actually earn platinum in game by farming, only trade items for platinum someone purchased with real money. While some is free from giveaways most is paid.

I've suggested this before; Give Darvo a use in the game by allowing you to give him prime parts for 1-3 platinum each piece. This is only "overpowered" by the way (as someone mentioned to this suggestion) if you already have hundreds of prime items right now, and hundreds of hours to spend farming more.

Yes, this would lower prices on the market most likely but DE would still make money because just like grinding for XP is free, people are still willing to pay to make it faster and gaining plat would be no different. New players are discouraged from playing past a point when they hit the paywall, and hate the idea of grinding even more just to trade for the plat they need. Not all of course, some enjoy even more grind.
