I strongly disagree with non linear proportions of mesos being removed. Such economic policies have no place in online games, and it should entirely be a case of you get what you put in, and if you are poor, too bad!
I want to see it as preferably a one off mesos removal. If it is done in a regular basis, I see problems in it...
- People will hoard items that can be NPC'ed until after the "scheduled" mesos removal, thus weakening it
- The values of items buyable from NPC's will be continually fluctuating
- Auction sites such as basil will have a nightmare of a time dealing with it
Mesos removal isn't a permanent solution, it's just a way to get things back to a reasonable way that other ways of dealing with the problem can then be implemented on (such as more sinks and less botting for mesos)
