What use does gold have at max level?
And would there be enough shortage / need of gold so people will sell their gems for ingame gold?
Personally i dont see peoppel running out of gold that easilly because all the best things in the game are purchasable with other currencies then plain old gold coins.

WvWvW will have a constant cost
I think it doesn't play much of a factor into anything really. Games i've played from launch always make up for everyone's pockets being generally fuller. Ex: At launch, 10 Gem's, 1k gold. 6 months later, same gems for 10k gold standard price. Those numbers are probably way off, but just for an example.
Latest game i ventured into was Shaiya again, where i got the bug for PvP. When i left, top armor was 300 mil. Now it's 2bil almost :x
The Deep Web is sca-ry.
The more I'm around the forums on this site, the more bitter I become.

Nope. Sometimes a combination of currencies though.

Expanding etc:
Ingredients for crafting, dyes (if you don't plan to use gems), wvw siegecraft.
To be honest, you will never have enough materials for crafting a lot of the stuff out there, especially the Legendaries and some of the really powerful Cooking Buff items require special ingredients that can only found on certain NPCs that only become available to you if the NPC is currently activated (I'm thinking of one of the Charr NPCs who was the ONLY one who sold Red Peppers in bulk, which is needed for some higher level cooking tiers). At least thats what comes to my mind.

What he said.
But aside from that, I don't see gold being super relevant in max level. I guess it's mostly gonna be a currency for the trading post, if you want to buy/sell equipment, dyes, bags, gems, boons or crafting material.
Also, maybe I'm wrong, but seems like WvW, events, personal story, dungeons, etc. they all give a similar amount of gold. All the characters I leveled throughout the betas had the same approximate amount of gold when they reached 20, some a bit more if I played the trading post. So I guess unless you find a loophole in the market or an everspawning chest of shinies, "farming" gold might be something hard to do

I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.
I enjoy the serenity of not caring what your opinion is.

Ya'll seem to forget REPAIRS
I bet higher level repairs will be quite heftier than the level 20's-30's that most have experienced
endgame consumables (cooking etc) from the TP, i bet they have a place in the top tiers of gameplay.
Play for fun. Play to win. Play for perfection. Play with friends. Play in another world. Why do you play?
EX from GW1
not sure if they are any more but a perfect storm bow was worth a lot. so a storm bow witch say has a reg of lvl 15 to use may only be worth 20K but a storm bow with a reg of lvl 9 to use is worth 100K + 20 Ecto's. for any one who has not play GW1 Ecto's is the other form of money in the game as you can only cary 100K on you char.
now i do not know how low the reg lvl to use and item will be in relations to it's stats but from what i seen it may be along the same lines as GW1. in BWE2 all my armor and weapons had a reg lvl of 17 to use from boss drop for the most part and i was lvl 33 the stats on my gear was almost 3X better the the status of lvl 30 gear from the NPC.
now stop and think how much a great sword would cost if it has the status of a lvl 50 great sword you cound buy from and NPC with the reg lvl of 10 to use. now if there was a weapon like that andi am not saying there is this is juat and EX. It would sell for a ton of gold int the AH
