This isn't exactly true, You do have to spend some money to make
money. Food, magic supplies, armor wax, There will still need to be
some ways for money to exit the system. Looking back at my previous
post I didn't really point that out. You do need some place for
players to spend money side from buying from other players. The idea
is that if the amound of money going in is controlled, then your
sinks don't have to be a 104,000 platinum piece horse (my appologies
to SOE). From a players perspective, I see something like that and
say ugh, thats just a huge money sink. But when the the sink is
something as trivial as food, or other supplies then I don't notice.
