Was it booty grab Like the the gaia adminstraters said or The R.I.Gs/C.Is they're makin millions from? You choose

[Droite]

How can RIGs cause inflation when they don't really add gold into the system besides the failures people sell to stores? Booty Grab can get you about about 1mil in a few days if you have nothing to do.

[Lapine Rose]

Why choose? Why not say it was both, plus other things like zomg gold farming?

[Existential Existence]

If anything RIGS spread out pre-existing gold in the system across a larger inventory of items.

Thus decreasing the value of everything else when thousands of new items flood the marketplace.

Bold'd cuz it's a beau-ti-ful concept no one really talks about. *thumbs up*

add: I put in some color too...and size!!!! big is beautiful!!!

Maybe he should re-word the question "recent inflation within the past year or so"

Booty Grab definitely created a jump in inflation. Other things like zOMG! and just the simple fact that more users every year means more gold being generated did their part too - but Booty Grab allows a dedicated grinder to rack up immense amounts of gold in very short amounts of time.

Just today my girl made almost 100,000 gold. In under an hour.

The ridiculous prices on RIG's and other items now are due to the fact that so many users ACTUALLY HAVE that kind of gold to spend on items now. They wouldn't sell for those prices if people couldn't afford them. But they can afford them, so those selling them can charge that much for them now.

I don't care how good at hoarding anyone is - they can't sell anything for more money than people have to buy it with. They might be able to set an item's price higher than is normal or natural - but that's NOT inflation - that's EXTORTION.

RIGS take out more money then they put in.
Sure some people sell the fail items, but they sell more of the other items in the marketplace where the tax does the rest.

There is a lot more to inflation than people seem to think.

Everything causes inflation.
