I don't see people spending 1000s of plat for a vanity. However, millions and millions of gold, that they WILL spend on. But again, STS is going to have to suck it up. If, in fact, they care that things are the way they are.
Your definition of "worthless" is obviously not the same as everyone. I wonder. How much would people pay to get their hands on one of those brown heraldic vanities that were given out during the video competition. How many people forked over 10m to get the gold vanities? Think about it a little more. Unlike some, I'm not saying you, they game is ALL about goldgoldgold. Some people actually want to play to have fun. For competition. At the same time, they aren't going to even attempt a competition where the possible cost is in the 30+ million range.
Price had very little to do with love. This is about the 10th time I've read this. I have lots of other friends in game that have quit. Maybe its because of them? You make it sound like one person controlled the entire economy. Simply not true.
No, the enormous absurd prices right nwo are in fact due to inflation. Consider this. A person can try selling a ring for 130m. If nobody is going to buy.. what happens? If someone is selling a ring for 130m and 5 people want it... what happens?
