<<One factor you are ignoring is the major difference where if one player buys an item from another player, the same number of items are still in the system (so from my perspective, the item changed hands from one anonymous noob I don't know to another anonymous noob I don't know, and I don't particularly care), but if Simu starts selling items for $$ then you're flooding the game with items that didn't exist before (so from my perspective, now everyone and their brother has better items than me unless I shell out $$ as well, and now I either have to choose between joining in on the debauchery or quitting the game)>> Not ignoring the factor, just not relevant to the discussion (yet). If we ever did something like this, then yes, we'd have to make sure we were taking quantities into account. We wouldn't want to make 50000 mirror blades available, no matter what their price. It would make things that were supposed to be rare and sought after incredibly commonplace, which is exactly what started this thread in the first place.
