The Fungi was just an example. Every mid-high end item has skyrocketed in price (FBSS 7k > 10-11k, Idol of the Thorned 6k > 9k, JBB 25k > 50k, etc...)
Inflation that severe and universal is not indicative of supply and demand fluctuations, but of excess money supply. It's a monetary phenomenon. Too much plat dumped on the market at the same time. Too much money chasing too few "investment grade" goods (i.e. Fungi, CoF, manastone, etc...).
Plat sinks would help to alleviate this problem, and give rich players something to spend their money on besides the accumulation of high end droppable loot they aren't even using and only holding as a form of wealth/inflation hedge.

This is the best post endorsing a change. Directly identifies the problem, identifies the cause of the problem and puts forth a plausible solution.
A possible secondary option would be to have guides offering some serious high end services. A few come to mind:
Bind at firepots: 500,000 platinum
Triggering of epic mobs with only quest piece dropping: 100k.
Trigger a double xp weekend for entire server 5,000,000 plat
Thoughts?
