Ideally...
- They need to remove 90% or more of the mesos to get it back onto a sensible scale
- They need to find out where all this excessive mesos is coming from and stop it
- They need to consider additional sinks to help maintain the economy
- They need to employ a person whose job is to monitor the maple economy and identify potential problems and come up with appropriate solutions (surely a game with millions of players justifies that)
While I am also on the line of purging massive amounts of mesos, saying that MTS is not one of the biggest problems is plain wrong. Duping is made many times easier to profit from since they can get easy NX for their handywork out of MTS, whereas without it, they would have to rely on selling stuff off-game for that kind of currency. It would cut a mastodont chunk out of the dupers market to remove it. MTS also spread the duped stuff like a whore would spread syphilis. The economy would be better off with a purge and a live MTS, but MTS will always be the exploiters best pal and continue to pineapple the economy.
