i'm finding it hard to believe you on the dyes.. when i was on alexina last week, there were a bunch in multiple shops for 150-160 and they weren't even selling quickly, so uh yeah idk
i'm talking about regular dyes, not fixed btw
anyway, the point is, if a guild of, say 15 people, have the ability to do this making gold at a rate of 1m/hr, and consistently does this, for say.. 4 hours a day for a week, that would be over 400m in about a week's time, or about 55m in a day
that's 400m of gold being spawned, not just circulated, but SPAWNED and then circulated within the economy per week... and that's only 15 people doing it for 4 hours a day
That's not the point at all. If I was making 500m an hour and did nothing but grind for 16 hours a day I could make 56 billion every week, just being one person. However I can't, and I wouldn't. The conflict SM isn't a secret, it doesn't make 1m/hour, and there are very few people who do it and even fewer can actually do it efficiently. Most of the inflation in all of the servers has been caused by recent gachas spitting out thousands of shadow and rain crystals which do not drain gold, but produce what is literally billions of it. That is the brutal truth.
