It was minimal. Effecting a small set of event items and a scroll that was already deflating is rather small in an economy of thousands of items. Yes, those items aren't worth anything, but the hackers are going to get hell-banned and permabanned on their accounts and the prices will hopefully rise again. If not then, then oh well. Cheaper items for everyone, which many won't complain about. Regarding merching, when you do it you should understand the risks of things like deflation due to hacking, especially when an event item is something like a chaos scroll.
And at the billions made overnight, people need to realize that there was more pushing mesos around than making them. Tax also took out on the large movement of mesos. I'm actually willing to bet money that a Meso Sack event introduces more mesos into the economy than this hack did.
