Market deflation right now is NOT due to the elimination of currency.

It's just so easy to make things. First look at gathering materials compared to 1.0. They are INCREDIBLY easy to produce and bring to market. People are selling them at next to nothing prices. This is competition and supply & demand doing this.

Even during 1.0, where you had such a case for specific items, you had falling prices despite an influx of gil into the economy.

And then the real question is, why is monetary deflation worse than monetary inflation? If you fail to see how voluntary gil sinks and the new gil being tied to population growth works together; you have no business posting in this thread.

90% of the people in here have no real education in economics and are just spewing nonsense.

Also virtual economies function exactly the same as real economies. It's still humans trading, if you can't see that.. then once again, you have no business posting in this thread.
