If you use up 1m meso worth of potions (which have a fixed price) per hour of training, you need to make 1m meso per hour off the drops you get, to break even. Or 10m meso for that one-in-ten-hours drop.
Or look at equips. Just your normal clean 50+ armors and weapons. You can't buy them from NPC's, but their price can't go lower than what an NPC would pay for them. So the FM price has a lower limit. If deflation gets to the point where a level X character can't make enough meso (by selling drops from level ~X monsters, and after potions) to buy level X gear, the game has a problem.
That is the real problem, right on the head. Particularly for those of us who cannot/choose not to purchase Gachapon to make mesos, or for people like myself, who can't buy NX cards locally, and thus have no access to meso bags.
And Yellonde isn't the only economy messed up like that. 60% Glove for ATT goes for around 10m in Demethos, too. This morning I saw a 60% Overall for INT at 30m.
And people wonder why I don't scroll my stuff. I've NEVER gotten a scroll to pass that wasn't 100% >_> Sure, the prices are coming down somewhat thanks to hackers, but some prices never really will. Items like ilbis, sure because once you have an ilbi, you can use it, recharge it, sell it. It still exists. It's things like quest items (particularly for those high EXP and/or good reward quests, like oh... 10m 60% glove for ATT scrolls, lol) scrolls, and/or things you use up that really won't go down because the demand will still be there.
