I.e. when NLC first came out and the average player's pot costs plummeted while the amount they found while training remained about the same, prices went up a bit. Obviously nothing like we see here, but natural inflation exists.
Unless you wanna get picky and argue the semantics of a currency not backed by something like a gold standard being artificial in its entirety.
The term natural inflation itself is a contradiction. Inflation is never natural and always caused by human actions. Your examples are also of human interactions. If you're referring to the prevailing trend of inflation in most economies over a period of time then that's simply the natural RATE of inflation, not inflation itself. =) Unless we do a complete 180 and go with inflation caused by natural disasters... but that point is completely moot in this particular discussion. =P
Quote: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)
2) the law that would put the government along with the central bank and all related financial institutions on trial for causing inflation due to their use of monetary or fiscal policies, of course. *cough*
3) i hope you guys realized that meso costs for the past three days have been as follows:
100m = $5.99 morning
100m = $5.29 afternoon
100m = $4.79 morning
100m = $4.59 afternoon
100m = $4.45 morning
100m = dunno yet!
uh oh, spaghettio!
and um... i'm just some random fm nub... not like every major fm 1 in most servers knows me or anything...
as for the hack...packet manipulation =(
