Furthermore I'd hazard a guess that you might find the economy, be it the player economy or the Cash Shop economy, does not follow the "rules" of economics you were taught, so you might find this endeavor to be an undue challenge.
Ah, I meant that I wish to solo most things I happen to come across in 2-3 months. Sorry, that wasn't very clear. Like, if I make find myself in front of an area boss I'd like to be able to solo that. Maybe Zak, if I'm really dedicated. I don't expect solo HT or PB in three months, haha. By "I don't plan on hammering and cubing" I meant that I wasn't willing to shell out any real life money for it. So, yep. Just trying to get by on ~30m (off my previous characters) and my previous knowledge of the game.
My econ teacher actually said that game economies are really good for simulating econ principles. That's the reason why he set up the Rift experiment in the first place. I don't remember the reason, but I think it was due to the fact that it's really closed off or something. But on top of that he said that in life you can't see things like supply/demand as easily as you can in a game. I'll ask him tomorrow to repeat the rest of it.
