I thought the VP key was a prime spot for a plat sink (there was this discussion even back then) and there are numerous spots in Velious where a small sink could be put in (1K to key to a zone, require a turnin of a stack of rubies to start the ring quest).

I don't think you understand the concept of a plat sink. A one time 3k (not a lot of plat) per VP keyed char (not a lot of players) isn't exactly going to stem the tide.
People would chuck hundreds of thousands of plat at the SH casino, for example.
Plat sinks are not supposed to target everyone, or they don't work. If everyone has to pay 1k to key to a zone the people most affected by it are those with the least plat. It's regressive. Plat sinks are supposed to be something people with more money than things to throw it at can chuck it away for a chance at something great, lowering the price of items and increasing the relative wealth of poorer players, while still giving those who burn their plat a possible return on their investment.
