First I am saying your reasoning about the economy etc are completely wrong. There is no opinion involved, nothing about what to say has an ounce of truth to work with. It's totally and absolutely wrong, to the point of absurdity. YOu don't even know about plat duping scmas for god's sake, how can I expect you to know anything about the economy and why prices are approximately double their former rate.
Vaguely saying something is wrong? Back it up, got proof to the contrary?
EXACTLY what is wrong with the reasoning? POINT by POINT, paragraph by paragraph?
By the way, I do know about plat duping BUGS (not scams), like when you could zone in 3rd person view on a boat with your inv open and put plat on your cursor and zone thru and the plat would be in inv AND on your cursor or something similar, been 3 or 4 years, forgot precisely how it worked. With or without this problem, the reasoning for inflationary pressures in the bazaar pricing of the hi end TRADEABLES (some fool mistook when I said Hi end I was meaning the time no drop stuff, so let me clarify, its Hi end TRADEABLES I refer to, how he could think no drop items would enter into a discussion of buying and selling items is beyond me) is still valid, basic econonimcs. The game is producing (printing) money everytime a mob dies and it drops some cash or an item that can be sold to a vendor. This money rarely leaves (destroyed) the game economy.
To refresh your memory, here it is to reread it.

Inflation = Money supply increases faster than product desired supply.
4,000 people online on a server each making an average of 100pp per hour from instantly created pp from mobs deaths, selling items to npcs = 400,000 pp per hour pumped into the economy. No cheating required.
Mobs killed dropping Ornate ( sec, checking raid drop rate ... hmmmm... comes out to about .73 ornate patterns dropped per hour in sol ro raids ), ok so say a possible 1 ornate per hour.
Thats means If everyone chases Ornate, then 400,000 pp is chasing one Ornate per hour.
If Less ornate is collected ( and I have seen the ornate drop zones EMPTY many many times lately since LDoN has come out , I can't BEG folks to come do an exp group in those zones ), then as time progresses, the same amount of PP is going into the economy, but fewer Ornate is being introduced.
You want to fix the inflation? Get some ornate and FLOOD the bazaar market with it.
So long as more and more PP chases fewer and fewer ornate, they will increase in price, thats free market economy.
LDoN has EXCELLENT gear, of Ornate quality or better, for 1452 AP each piece. No AP increases, no racing for the mob, no need for more than 3 or 4 friends to adventure with. Let's see, 1452 AP, easy adventure 53 AP, about 30 mins to win, running to and fro and getting adventure assigned, say a total of 1 hour per adventure. 53 AP per hour, 1452 needed per armour piece, only 27.39 hours play time needed to buy each Piece of LDoN armour, of usually better quality than Ornate.
To lazy to earn PP to buy stuff in bazaar? Play LDoN.
To stupid to get in a raid guild? Play LDoN.
To weak to beat others to Ornate dropping mobs? Play LDoN.

Second, I am calling you out. Post a Magelo. Post a guild website listing your character on their roster. Post a server where you can be found raiding with your uber guild. All my info is out in the open, I am easy to find. Ask any of the number of posters on this board I have talked to and/or played with in game. What are you hiding? I mean, if you are as uber as you say you are, you should be proud of your gear and your guild's accomplishments should you not? Or at least not too ashamed of them to let them be known.
Oooooo a /duel, luv them.
Ahh heck I confess, I am only level 2 with 1 cloth shirt. well, I would be level 2, but tonights raid deleveled me and I cant find my corpse. And I don't have a guild, not anymore anyway, the patch tomorrow is going to erase it, less than 10 members wouldn't you know!
O well.
I won't cry.
Of course the fact that you are an officer in a PoT guild weighs heavily for how much you know about economics. Soon as I wake up tomorrow I will go out and get a computer game player to take over running my Accounting department.

Yes, he was mean, see above reference to deleveling.
Be sure to send a copy of the economic model and its flaws and corrections you have figured out to Sony, I am sure they will be happy to reimburse you for your time spent solving the problem for them.
