So when did everyone make 100 alts to camp every raid target at once?

The only difference is that the platinum gained through normal means (farming gems) would stay consistent, thus giving platinum a "higher worth". So the influx of new plat stays the same, while the total current platinum levels have been lowered, thus making "new plat" effectively worth more..

My response was under the (sane) assumption that they would have to also reduce platinum creation. If you didn't reduce the rate of farmed platinum to coincide with the New Platinum created in people's inventories, you'd have a large array of mostly negative effects, including:

1) Extremely volatile markets before the shift as people try to unload their platinum reserves for investments that retain value (items), while people simultaneously refuse to sell in exchange for platinum.

2) Lack of trust in the economic system. The regulating body pretty much wiped out a percentage of your character's wealth, what would stop them from doing it again?

Even as a college dropout, I would see such a move as horrible, and doubt the GMs would do this.
