I suppose an addition of captchas when performing trade requests, NPC shops, or storage would be useful. When a Demon Slayer bot returns to town to sell eqps/ potions or the etc. slot, it would be stuck at the captcha. I was thinking about KMS's captcha in the hunting grounds, but it would interfere with looting and training.
Legits have too many meso too.
That's part of the problem.
For years they have sold items for max meso, or multiples of max meso, because there were too many meso floating around, and their items were worth that much.
As long as these people are able to pay "name your price" in meso for anything they want (be it clean slates or NX), prices can't go down for everyone else.
If in 6 months everyone in the game has only 10% of the meso they have now*, the rich would still be richer than everyone else - but the prices on everything will necessarily go down, and valuable items will no longer be a pain to sell for meso due to being worth more than 10b.
*not exactly, of course. The idea of progressive taxes is that those people who barely have enough meso to buy mastery books and potions, will keep all their meso. People who are just a step above that will lose very little of what they have. But the ones who have stockpiled hundreds of billions will have to let go of most of it, if the economy is ever to become normal again.
