FEMACIA

Been consistently getting decently profitable items (90-200k) on a daily basis. The irony is that I've made more ABing in about two weeks than playing legit for years.

Got a fountain faerie event today. Good thing the thing I had to fetch was only about ~90k.

Was almost going to cancel it, too, until I realized the "blue annoying thing" wasn't a water faerie.

Account's about 8 years old. So yeah, it's pretty old. Thanks for all the advice!

Inflation can only go down if less NP is put into the economy than it is being taken out.

With the exception of dupes, those billions and billions of points are all generated by your average [insert Neopet player here] grinding away at mini-games and random events. One thing to keep in mind is that in contrast to other MMOs, Neopets have been around for a long, long time. What's seen today is the result of years and year's of work. You could theoretically fix the issue by stemming the flow (closing the faucet) - eg. cutting all NP gains by half. I guarantee you that'd piss off a lot of players, but you should be able to see some effect within ... a year, if math does well.

This is, of course, assuming that the people with substantial wealth doesn't suddenly stop and panic and stop buying altogether, which would create undesirable effects.
