You could have predicted this would become a clownfest.

Welcome to Classic Wow where people are still suprised its not 2005 anymore
The gold from ZG isn't generated out off thin air, the average run yields 1 gold in vendor items. You get 5 gold if you're lucky cause a green weapon dropped.
Bijous, Coins, Boosts, BoEs, Bloodvines, Hoodoo Dolls, Mudskunks, Souldarite are all items/services being sold/traded to other players, there's no extra money being generated.
This gold then gets saved for later, spent on stuff like mounts (or being saved to buy flying mount come BC) effectively reducing the amount of gold in circulation.
Or they spend it to buy stuff like flasks, boosts for alts etc. making the money go back into the economy
That phrase has already been proven wrong though. People are still playing the game even if it isn’t the way we hoped. It’s still enjoyable which is why half the servers are locked from transfers or char creation. Fucking layers being back for example blows my mind.
That said I don’t disagree that the community is at fault for why the game is played how it is now. No one gave a fuck about min maxing in vanilla nor did they care about world buffs even remotely.
Funny you should say that...
In fact, that’s the EXACT situation in real life. If you’d go back 100 years in time, a loaf of bread would cost 15 cents, now it’s 1.5 dollar. Do we see people rioting because of this? No! Because while prices evolved tenfold, they did so because our income increased tenfold aswell. This is what inflation is!

There will be a banwave once the botting and gold selling is completely getting out of control. My guess would be beginning of p6 ...
No, it’s just that it doesn’t fucking matter when the design isn’t about finding a way to make every minute aspect of the game a scaling, repeatable way to get everyone on an endless gear treadmill.

Competing with each other for what? The content is relatively easy. Everyone can complete everything.

Statements of intent do not need to exist when one can simply look at the design and come to conclusions about goals. For example, when there is an endless obsession with turning everything in the game into an e-sport, and everything is homogenized into a uniform paste, it’s pretty easy to see the design intent.

You pointed out how if the person does something they detest, the rest of their experience could possibly be better. This is correct. They did something they detest. Their experience is worse. By choice.

Yes, the bad, the lazy, and the shitters have a worse experience when inflation occurs.
I'm not a part of either group. I don't play the game.
Correct, they have the same opportunities. One of those opportunities requires them to do more of something they don't like. That leads to a worse experience. You are now saying 'do something you don't like so that you can have the same experience as before.' I think that satisfies the definition of 'worse experience.' Thank you.

If jumping is added to mario, and I don't like it, yes, my experience is now objectively worse. Other people benefit from jumping, and I do too, but it's not my prefered experience. My experience is worse.

The entire discussion is centered around a person who does not want to farm.

No, since they were required to do something worse to achieve the same result, that is objectively worse.
