Vendor with Illusion items.

[M.J.]

For a lot of high end players that have put in the time to acquire cash, a vendor that sells illusion items would remove plat from the game that already ISN'T BEING SPENT. There is very minimal inflation on non BiS gear created by players that are coming up, not by the people that would spend 2 million plat for an illusion mask. In fact some items have decreased in value like dwarf and high elf cultural. Every class has a way to farm straight platinum solo at 60, and according to these boards “playing what you want however you want!” will take you there.

For some people the EC economy is a part of the game, the inflation is just a natural reaction to the total amount of CIRCULATING cash within the game. You really think TMO couldn't take their guild bank and offer to buy every fungi for 50k-100k above market value and artificially increase the price overnight and then control the market? The economy here isn't actively being sabotaged similar to AH games like FFXI or WoW.

How much plat is sitting in a bank waiting to pay a legion of casuals to do all the farming that no one wants to do when Velious drops?
