I absolutely believe you when you say this. The problem is that you clearly are possessed of zero understanding of how in-game economies actually work.
First, just because WoW implements a system that is cancerous to a game doesn't mean that everyone else will follow in their foot steps. Further, I have already laid out in absolute and sound detail how and why this system won't work. Your lack of understanding, while baffling, does not trouble me in the slightest. Further, you have failed to point out where I fail to understand the in game economy, and as someone who is in such support of a system that has time and again ruined a game into oblivion, the burden of proof as to how it won't this time as well as to how I am wrong lies on your shoulders.
