Do I really need gold in this game?

[Grimnir9]

I hit level 24 last night, and I realized that besides windstriding, and the few copper needed for crafting, I don't really use any money. The most I've spent is 40 copper to but gems. If I took up the jeweler profession, I can craft my own gems. I grabbed the potion making profession instead, and don't need to really stock up on that. My question is: will gold become more useful later on in the game? Hell, you're weapon even evolves, so there's no need to buy weapons, or jewels. The clothing shop only has two uniforms, that you get for free when signing up with a faction. 

This will help me decide if I'll get a premium package.

When you hit ~40 ish and are planning to further enhance your weapons you will need an item called Moonwater Transformation Stone. This thing costs 10g+ so yes gold becomes more significant in the end game. Not only that but the basic upgrading fee for all your equipments are pretty high too.
