Great Article. I was just mulling this same concept over in my head a few days ago, and I came to the same conclusion about the inflation in the economy: high alcing! There is only one thing I disagree with, and that is how discontinued items dissapear from the game. Some say from dieing in the wild, some say from getting banned, but I say that most Party Hats and other discontinued items leave the game becasue of people quitting. I just had a friend quit a while ago who had a full party hat set, and a mask. Now these rare items are out of circulation. Anyways, great article.
