*1 If this inflation was natural, then one, it wouldnt be as high, and two, we would really have little grounds to say anything about it beyond the "this inflation sucks". But you caused this inflation. *2 Even in a free market economy, directly causing inflation, in the real world, is actually grounds to be arrested and put on trial. All of your "pleading" about how your just trying to survive in the inflating market is a completely asinine argument, because you are *3 basically trying to survive your own inflation, which probably wouldnt have happened as bad without your influence.
The way a free market economy, or basically any economy works, is based of Land Labor and Capital. Land=FM spots, Labor=hunting/merchanting, Capitol=investment. Its all a balancing act, and too much of one can drastically change the market overall. We have too much Capital...
1. How is inflation ever "natural"?
2. What law in the real world are you referring to that says causing inflation is illegal?
3. why oh why would you say that? He's bought out the FM at 5 mil and is now selling at 20 mil. No need to survive if he's making a good profit. The real danger is hyperinflation due to duped gold/items.
BTW, your free market economy example of land labor and capital is based on physical scarcity. In game economies are not always restricted in that way, particularly when events such as gold/item duping occur. (Try duping a piece of land or cloning a factory worker)
@iCollect: If at all possible, could you elaborate on any details as to what you've heard/know about this alleged duping. No offense but we @ sleepywood don't really know you and we're curious (at least I am)
