That, and it doesn't take money out of the economy. It just puts it around. The general idea here is to take some plat out of the economy to make things more even for newer players. IE a player who camped seafurries a year ago saw a lot more for their efforts than one now due to the prices of items differing at this point.

right, but what i was getting at was, what if i opened an EC casino? the platinum would in fact be removed from the economy (by me) and it would also be scam free. as far as the seafuries, you do realize that the over farming of SFs is part of the reason for the inflated prices right? another big reason was people were able to plan for the removal of certain items (ie manastones), whereas on live they couldn't. and because these items no longer drop, the person with the most can control the market. most of what Silo69 says is right on the money though.

Get rid of account selling. Player spends 100k on a toon, the seller suddenly has a huge bank roll to waste and little patience. He drives up the prices in the name of saving time, now the players who sold the items are flush with money AND have an inflated sense of what their products were worth. They get a few more sales and now they can afford to blow 100k on a toon of their own and start the cycle all over again.

you realize that acct selling happened on live from prekunark until forever correct? the difference being that we dont ban people for talking about it. either way, thats not a huge economy problem, its actually an entirely worse set of problems.
in the end, if people would stop paying these jacked up inflated prices, then the prices would come down. hell, look at gasoline. was .98 cents a gallon when i started driving, its up over 400% since 1998. and gas will NEVER be anything close to what it was because PEOPLE KEEP BUYING GASOLINE. if america just STOPPED buying 4$ a gallon gasoline, you can bet your asses the prices would drop.
