This is a misconception. something soaring to 25mill looks crazy, but when you can make 300k/hr instead of 30k/hr it is not bad.

Example:

Which item is more expensive to Buy

A Hauby selling for 25mill (hyper inflation in XI), but tree cutting selling for 100-120k a stack

Or

A Hauby for 2.5million Gil (Pre Hyper Inflation Prices and the summer after inflation) with tree cuttings selling for around 10-12k a stack.

Hyper inflation did not just increase the price of good gear, it increased the price of everything with value.. including the things people farmed.

So if Hyper inflation happened you would make alot more money but have to spend alot more as well, that is how an economy works it reflects the cost of the market. If 10fold the currency entered the economy the only thing it would devalue is Leve rewards, anything farmed that has value would still have the same purchasing power.

Honestly atm the economy is in massive deflation, ridiculous deflation. Nearly nothing sells.. seriously I can buy a weapon for my rank 50 for the reward I get from 2 leves, my iron plate body costed 45k....... seriously.

Honestly the game needs inflation... everything should cost about 10-20 fold what it does now. Even some Endgame HQ items are becoming dirt cheap.
