The worst thing about the people claiming it would be a "good thing" that there isn't much money around is that they always sound like shopsellers that see their easy way of making money threatend, while at the same time they dont realise, if theres more money the prices for their stuff would go up aswell, meaning they wouldn't even make less and nothing would change for them. Its beyond stupid.
And even the most dense person should notice, if they look how much everything costs, skillbooks, crafting, soulsickness, combinig weapons, ect. that this games economy was designed around MASSIVE amounts of money, like most kmmo's.
Claiming that there are spots where you can make some money (300-400k in 2hrs, lol what a joke. Thats what i made at lvl 15 in 2hrs back when the game released) doesn't really help the situation either and its really easy to understand: Imagine this situation in 2-3 months, at some point there would be only lvl 50 players left 'cause leveling is way too fast, lets say 50/50 for Elyos and Asmos 1k on each side, what would happen to these great farmspots ? Correct they'd worthless because all of them would be overfarmed af, leaving you with maybe 5-10k per hour because you couldn't kill shit because everything is perma dead, because EVERYONE needs money to buy their stuff somehow and farmspots for lv 50 are very limited, so people couldn't even spread out. Sure you can make some small amounts of money there now, while a lot of people are still leveling but for how much longer will that be the case ?
So no, having less money in the game doesn't benefit anyone, all it does is making people quit the game out of frustration in the long run because they can't progress at a decent rate or at all. Same goes for dungeon loot, very few people will force themself through a ton of TL, Dred or DP runs just to be greeted by empty mobs and bosses over and over and over again.
