Why the Secret Spell Scroll system would have never worked.

I miss the days when 60% glove att scrolls were 2 mil, which was considered as a nice amount of mesos, and everything else was on that scale. That was when I started playing MS back in winter (US summer) 2007. There was nothing wrong with the 2^31-1 mesos cap in those days. Now everything has just inflated so much, and it is a problem.

I'm not sure it's fixable, even if they were to take out 90% of the mesos in the economy so that in theory mesos was worth 10 times what it previously was, would it just go back the same way?
