So I kind of just came back to Gaia after a year.
The stuff that I happened to hold on to -- crazy increases, like 500% gains.
And then I realized everything costs 500% more.
Not only that, but the first few items I was interested in investing in were all way above their usual prices, according to the graphs. And after a while, a pattern started to appear...
Obviously, I haven't been here for a while. But according to almost every item above about 100k, there was this massive spike in prices, and no corresponding drop in quantity demanded, which implies that the amount of gold in the system drastically changed.
Is there a reason for this that's simple, neat, and clean, but requires that you were around for September? Or is it just yet another thing to blame on zOMG and Booty Grab?

 The answer lies solely in Flynn's Booty and Chest emotion_awesome
...and no. It wasn't early September that the chaos started. It started approximately around the 20th of August. The fated date where the item was first released emotion_awesome
Here are some feeds for you to read on about the general reactions from Gaians (mostly heated stuff xP) ---> [x]
Here are the unyielding evidences of how many re-releases they had xP ---> [x]
(Find the announcement dated 20 or 23 August and work your way up to the recent dates)
To explain it briefly, F-B/C is a 'chance item' that grants you gold when 'plundered'. From as low as 50k to as high as... 250 million (from the chest)? Not sure. Never bothered finding out the exact amount xD
But anyhuuu~... FB bundle can be purchased from La Victoire while FC bundle is exclusively for Verge Club members as they are sold in the Verge Shop.
...-AAAANNDDD... to rub more pain in, the previous Smashblox rewards were giveaways of gold in millions... or billions!! (*O*)
Hence, the ridiculous inflation plague that the MP is currently suffering from emotion_awesome
zOMG and Booty Grab are not to be blamed. They are still nerfed to this point talk2hand
