Actually, I find inflation to be awesome. Back when ffxi was in its early days, if I got leaping boots, I was set for awhile. If I was lucky enough to get the thief knife early on, I would have been set for years. It's like the monopoly game, some people are very good at it like in real life, and some are always broke just like in real life. Inflation just means too much prosperity, and if you're smart, you'll know that the economy always go up and down, and find a way to invest what you earned. We are already headed in that direction. It's easy to make money and most people have no reason to spend it, even scared to buy a weapon over 100k. When the really good rare items comes, people will pay very high prices for them.
