You can also refer to the post about half way down the first page by John Smith, the games economist who states pretty flat out that there is no inflation and you are dumb if you think otherwise. (He’s a pretty blunt guy lol)

He does not state that inflation does not exist (which would be untrue, by the way). He states that it is not a major problem for GW2. Whether he is right on this is a matter for another debate, though.

We also need to remember who butters his bread, I’ll give you a hint, it’s not us.

Just because he says it’s not Major problem, doesn’t tell us for whom it’s not a Major problem , or what he considers a major problem. Are we talking single digit inflation? Double-digit inflation? Hyper-inflation?

What is HIS defenition of Major?

Secondly, something might NOT be a major problem for Anet, but be a Major problem for the players.

Thirdly, since Anet butters his bread, part of his responsibilities is stabilizing the market. Even if it means… spinning the facts. Just because an employee of Anet says " all is well" is No reason to toss out the evidence of your own eyes.

John Smith says not a major problem. My eyes see Inflation. As I said… For whom is John Smith saying that inflation is not a major problem??

Us?

Anet?

Our interests are not Anet’s interests, and neither is Anet’s ours.

Who butters John Smith’s bread?

Just remembered this lol:
