Its the difference between the size of the new player base and loss of veteran players.
What he said.

Also, you should remember that the introduction of new items is not actually a gold sink. When a new item is introduced, those who loot it can sell it. But then they get the money from the sale; it doesn't actually leave the PL economy. The only gold sink in the game is potions and equipment (who buys equipment from a vendor though?). So PL is doomed to never-ending inflation bounded only by the patience of those who farm gold.

The gold cap does mean that those who want more than 10M need to create a new toon to hold it (which costs plat), or else convert the money into some expensive item that they could presumably convert back into gold later by selling it. This probably does discourage people from getting richer at some point as you said.
