Or, super alternatively, introduce a double port item. Similar to double drops, double gold, double team exp, double hero exp… maybe? @Loutre
Could be a yellow bag (like double drops have green or elite ones have green/red) with a Port symbol on.

My question is different, why there is delay in port drops? Can PB back this delay based on data like gold economy is imbalanced and everyone have billions of gold so you are delaying the event ? If this is the case I would like to know.

… should say weeks ago port event won’t return ever. 
Instead of baiting.
Even if I have now 1.5B gold it’s just enough to max 3 heroes, wow… 
They are not discontinued.

I can understand the concerns, but honestly the problem is not in Ports, but Surge.
And, tbh, all you could do is just reduce the power of spawned lineups in Surge, because the top guilds only get highest amount of gold against easy lineups and high power. Lowering the power = lower gold 
Because more stages need to be played and most just don´t waste as much time on it.
I should know - am in Top 4 guild in S1 and daily I get like 150M x 2 gold. I won´t say it´s bad though, the gold is largely irrelevant or should be largely irrelevant. Hence why I asked for Buy 100 Gold Crates or a slider. EVERYTHING IS INTERCONNECTED.
The only reason why we ask for double ports is XP drinks. One more possibility would be to only give Ultra XP in high Ports (although some players would lack it and would solve nothing at all with the economy). Or you could change Black Market / Mega Mart to “gold only” = would give players more progress for excess gold, still would be largely P2W…
Or change the XP drinks in Battle Badge enhancement to a large sum of gold (which doesn´t matter at all, really - since the bonuses aren´t 100% game-breaking)
Just my two cents on the matter. I see it, I try to give feedback on what possibilites there are.

Also as I said previously,
They’re not discontinued and we do want to have one again soon, but we are currently watching the gold economy so I cannot give dates or more information on when we will have them.

I would say to the team to… just give up… some people I know have as much as 16+ B gold.
I don´t believe there is any way to introduce some measures if the team doesn´t want to blow up like 50% of active players that just don´t earn that much.
So, my advice would just be to give some way of spending gold quick with a limited gain. Or a special stuff crate for a lot of gold, which gives trash (won´t be used though). Or just a slider on gold crates 
instead of buy 100 button.
There are so many ways to get gold from outside of Surge… which is the best, but still…
I´d still work on giving more Ultra XP Drinks, I want to spend my gold, but can´t level up like any character
I agree with Numi. I am on s23, a newer server, and have gotten 750M gold from invasion in a single week (a few weeks ago someone made over 2B from invasion) and can easily do 50M gold per day in surge. It’s not port that is the biggest bloat to server gold, at least not for the people who have a lot of it…
Could server 19 still get one tho please? We need to catch up on 15 levels in a few months and people are already short after the first 5

Well, Invasion is the only place you can get a lot of gold from right now.
And it requires an insane amount of grind/work/clicking.
If that’s an issue for the team, just put a cap on it.
Besides the few people with 1B invasion scores each week, most are struggling with gold. Especially now that you need between 500M to 1B to max skills if you have a larger roster (S22).
And in a year you won´t say a word about it. 
Despite it being far more costly to raise characters.
As I said, problem is not the excess gold, but the lacking XP Drinks, which the team still gives… So I´d say there is a need for XP Drink rebalance upwards not gold one.
I‘d never see excessive gold as an issue. Rather lack of gold and xp drinks.
I can’t imagine a large part of all players have an excessive amount of gold. On S22 nearly everyone struggles with it after the port drought.
And I refuse to buy those ridiculously bad gold deals were you get 100M for 30€. Maybe if it‘s 1B…
Speaking of the gold deals, over the last couple months I have noticed they often include port resets. If I were buying those expecting a double port day, I would have been pretty upset by now…
I’ve got 16B gold, but it should be noted that this isn’t because I earn too much gold, it’s because the bottleneck for upgrading heroes is Stamina and thus I don’t have enough to spend it on. I’m not going to waste it (and Hero XP) upgrading a bunch of Purple heroes.
Fix the stamina balance, and the gold hoarding will considerably decrease.

Rather Hero XP than stamina. I don’t think I use that much gold in stamina crafting. Although yes, stamina is also an issue.
I haven’t made a formal count, but I bet I have at least 20 heroes at level 250 or higher yet at rank R10 or lower, because I just don’t have anything else to spend gold on so hey, why not level up a bunch of heroes whose skills might be handy for the few seconds they can survive due to being over a year behind in ranks.
Even with all that gold spent, though, I still have something like 7B hoarded, and it keeps going up, despite the lack of port events, despite my losing interest in maximizing surge, despite not grinding for hours in invasion breaker battles. I suspect at some point surge gold rewards will have to be tweaked, hopefully focusing on the high-end districts that generate so much gold for the high-level players while keeping the low-end districts untouched for the mid-level players still struggling with gold supply.
Until a better balance is achieved in the gold supply, though, we really need an alternative method of spending gold that will appeal to those hoarding billions. I like the idea of switching the cost of upgrading a Battle Badge from Hero XP to gold, though I’d like to make another suggestion: cosmetic crates. 100M for a normal crate, 2B for a guaranteed crate, and you’ll see the hoarded gold drop by at least 80% overnight.
