    An economy can't be fully deregulated if you are the one controlling how many virtual items exist. Please, if CCP doesn't touch the economy, then what does Mr Eyjolfur Guðmundsson do? Why does CCP have a team of economists? They nudge the economy in different ways for example selling devalued PLEX cards when bubbles form to drop prices. EVE is designed around PLEX, and has many ways to remove currency from the economy, especially because it's a PVP game. FFXIV has little in the way of gil sinks, and most expenses are player to player not to NPC. The only two I can think of are the relic quest (only 400K) and housing. Teleports and taxes are negligible compared to the amount that comes in through just normal play.

    Oh yeah, and I updated my original post once I got on my computer.
