My elder gems are no longer increasing... i'm at 2000.
Is this a bug or a feature?

Take your pick :P
Related question : When are we getting more useful "uses" for our Elder Gems?

			I heard a rumor you get more gold in place of the gems when you hit the cap is this true?

Yep, a guildy was capped too and when he took the protostar gift after finishing the contract board, he got a "Protostar certificate of indebtedness" (something like that, we are fr) which can be sold for 5pp (so it's 7pp50 instead of 2pp50).
I haven't verify this by myself so... But it's what I heard :)

			Is the cap really at 2k? My main has 2718, 2nd char has 2490, 3rd char has 2676.... the other alts haven't reached 2k. I don't grind EG though, whatever I have are from the weeklies... which I skipped doing occasionally. Guess I'll start paying attention to see if the number ever go up.

			You may have reached the weekly cap, which just happened to coincidentially be at the 2k mark. and yes, @H3rBoss, when you cap your EG for the week, all that extra exp converts into cash money. Not a rumor at all :)

Clearing things up for the severely uninformed.
 
1. There is an eldergem cap. It's 2000
2. You can bug it out intentionally and accidentally by many many different ways to exceed the cap.
3. Once you bug the cap past 2000 there is no known cap.
4. If you bug the cap then spend eg till below the 2000 cap. You will have to bug it again.
5. Once you reach the weekly cap of 140 you get extra gold instead of eg.
6. You can get a total of 190 eg in one week via 140 from experience, 10 from omnicore and 40 from weekly.
 
Any other questions?1

			@laserloui I'm not going to risk a ban!

			No difference in cap between sub and non sub. Where do you guys come up with this crap?

			You can actually get 200 a week from questing as mr. Ck points out, if you take the world boss weekly instead, as it gives 50, not 40

			I broke that cap somehow a few weeks back. I've been missing the extra plat I'd be otherwise earning. I didn't think to spend down to get myself under 2k again. I'll have to try it. If only I could send skillpoints to my alts.
