To much reading to do on this thread makes mah brains hurt

Items will always become more worthless as long as mtc exists, its free money and more is being "printed" than used.

The mtc will destroy the mt economy until it is removed, and in my opinion, this server is popular enough as it is, why do we need more massive influxes of players when there are 100+ people online almost 24/7

Duns, in response to your last post, you must include incentives, look at how many donors there are, donors equal spawned credits and earlier, spawned gold and diamonds, I'm pretty sure that the thousands of MT credits bring spawned for donors is effecting the economy.

It does, however we have no form of calculating them, jthm02. That is why we can't include them. Sure, we have numbers to keep track... but no equations to help the offset. There's no such thing as "spawned" money in the real world. If you include them, you get a very weird economic trend (sinusoidal). Such a trend is disastrous for any economy, and means it is unhealthy. It's actually more healthy to be in a negative balance, strangely enough.
