economy heading for ruin....

Trouble is, not "everything" is cheaper.
If you use up 1m meso worth of potions (which have a fixed price) per hour of training, you need to make 1m meso per hour off the drops you get, to break even. Or 10m meso for that one-in-ten-hours drop.

I haven't broken even from what I make during training since 3rd job.

As for the whole economy thing, people would have to realize it's all RELATIVE. As items deflate, the value of other items also deflate and the value of your pure, hard mesos inflate. The market will always be changing and you can either sit here and complain or figure a way to take advantage of it to continue surviving. Even without hackers, the market will move up and down (though not to such drastic proportions) so... yeah. Just learn to adapt and move on.

This fellow said exactly what I was trying to say.
