When I was trying to identify the problem last year, what I observed was that jobs paid way more than they should. The rationalization was that you should be able to buy something nice with one day of hard work.

I mentioned "balance" earlier. If you want to decrease the bloat at the top you have to reduce the trickle in at the bottom - like jobs. This won't have the same over night effect of intentionally manipulating the value of items by knocking off a few decimal places from the value but the long term effect is much more healthy and sustainable.

Era is like the proverbial horse; you can take it to water but you can't make it drink.
