Awakened and Aftermath are still camping fear golems.

Yes and that income also goes to a vendor for recharges.

Platinum only comes into the economy through two sources: looting it and selling looted items to a vendor. A/A are not camping seafuries to fund recharges, and a level 40 druid who is wearing leather is just as likely (if not more likely) to be camping said seafuries to generate NEW platinum. If that druid then spends that platinum on a looted item, and then that platinum is given to a vendor, the system is working much like it does on Live with the plat sinks that were created during SoL.

The economy, all considering, is pretty consistent and prices are still pretty reasonably matched to what was paid (historically) on live as well as what people have been paying here since Velious released. There are obviously items that this does not hold true for (idols, beads, velious quest armor mqs, etc) but it's all pretty reasonable. My god, you can still twink a character for less than a couple k which is what it has always been.
