There's a flaw in his calculations. The server generates platinum pieces out of thin air, so the amount of available platinum is almost always increasing.

On second thought, the US government has been printing money out of thin air too, so I guess it is similar. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

A significant note here: he measures welfare of EQ players in RL $$$, and those are not affected by in game plat inflation.
In other words, if players used to produce 1k plat a day, and plat sold for 100 plat per $1 - they made $10
Now days, if players produce 100k plat per day, and plat sells at 10k per $1 - they still make $10

This is specially relevant for Ebay auction, that sold items/char in RL $, not for plat - so item plat value or total plat possessed by the player is irrelevant.
