You mean, restart the economy by removing all TC? Perhaps more dramatic than it would be effective.

I don't think it would be to terrible of an idea since people just create alts anyway loll.
So if I give you a loan, the TC just gets sunk if you can't pay it off and you get banned for a week? This seems like an unnecessarily complicated TC sink to me. Somewhat unfair too.
How is the banned user going to earn the TC back if they've already spent it? Wouldn't it be simpler just to sink my own TC without giving it out on a loan to someone who, in order for it to be a TC sink, would have to be banned for not paying it back. Or if this TC came from a system account, wouldn't this just create new TC if everyone didn't pay back their loans with interest? Also I don't think there are many people with a reliable or fixed income suitable for paying off loans.

If nobody has anything more to say, I'll close this thread since there clearly is no more room for discussion after behind-the-scene evidence has been posted.
I just thought it would put some perspective on the discussion. There's still plenty of room for drawing conclusions and making suggestions. Unlike the other threads here, there's actually a potential for someone to come up with something worthwhile.
If we sink TC, so what? Are we doing it to prevent change? What's the worst that could happen?
For purchasing items with TC to be satisfying, how challenging should it be to earn TC? Does sinking TC achieve this?
How much TC should be circulated in the market instead of spent in the torishop?

It would be interesting to see the marketers and gm's, admins and/or users opinion on this matter as I have yet to find a reason WHY it is a problem that we face inflation, except that of-course, TC loses the function of being an investment. But if you ask me, items would in most cases anyhow be the better investment, while TC are fix numbers facing a decline in worth.
Could you, Fish, present your MAJOR concerns with an inflation in here?
Now doing recoloring for people not in the clan as-well, PM for more info!

Every single player would benefit from a great inflation because the price of torishop items as of now is static.
There is one instance that would not benefit, which is nabi, who depend on the sale of goods, including items that would not be as high in demand due to an inflation.
Your statement that investing in items is better than investing in tc makes no sense at all.
Items are goods, tc are a currency. You need both for proper trading. You buy things and try to sell them again as fast as possible to get more tc to buy more items and so forth.
Unless you are talking about investing real money into toricredits or items. In that case your statement does not make much sense either because you will be able to exchange toricredits for whatever you want much easier than items.

I've never really used the market before, and it's not really what I'm in charge of. I prefer to leave it up to other people to decide on any adjustments. What I try to do is make sure there's not too much change on a grand scale. So I only occasionally do something market related.
The main reason I was posting here was to try and provoke some thought. The people who talk about inflation as a serious problem, usually haven't done anything to find out whether or not inflation actually exists, yet alone how significant it is if it does exist. So I'm more interested in seeing what people can make of it now having seen a few random numbers.
