Ok, first of all I would like to say that your videos really hit me. I hope your channel will have great success in the future when the official "hardcore server" is released. But I would like to break down your take on inflation. If I understand correctly, you said that buying in-game gold with real money creates inflation. But I don't quite agree with that. Inflation is generated in WoW-realms every second: when someone completes a quest, kills an enemy or sells trash to a vendor. This means that gold is "printed by the government" every time someone kills a hundred kobolds and sells the junk to a vendor. And from this is created "nothing backed by gold". Thus, EVERY player on the server is the same printing press that creates inflation and creates "helicopter money". But you can say that buying gold for real money encourages RMT-dudes who are not really included in the gameplay and the gaming community to go and farm gold. OK, I can agree with this argument. But! That is why I am so looking forward to the release of Hardcore Realm! I'm a casual player and actually played WoW very little and one of the reasons why I left the game is the presence of farming bots. And I really hope that the AI will not be able to help these geeks make such bots that can not really die when farming. So, it will be economically unprofitable to use bots. And it also means that the expansion of the money supply will not be as fast. Summing up, I would like to say that inflation will always grow and the problem lies only in the speed of its growth. And buying gold for real has nothing to do with it (at least there is no direct impact here).
Wtf this makes no sense of course it skyrockets inflation cause now all this gold is entering the economy which otherwise if farmed would be way less..
You are 100% correct about the gil selling and buying. Sadly happened with ffxi horizon.
wtf are ya talking about the loan thing??? it's not at all an inflation cause wtf
