Inflation vs. Redistribution Controversy

There is an ongoing debate in the online wow goldcommunity over how gold farming affects economy of the game (i.e. the prices of goods and services). Ultimately, total money supply in the game is controlled by three factors: The first is the collection of wow goldor items, obtained by dispatching NPCs or completing in-game quests and killing enemies. These all generate "money". The second is what is referred to as a money sink designed to absorb currency and items back into the economy. Typically, a money sink will take the form of vendor NPCs, which buy and sell the player''s items and offer services such as repair or transportation. Another "sink" is the use of skills, most of which cost money to acquire and use. A third, and often overlooked factor in the "game economy" is the generation of "scarce resources." These are rare items that players can''t make or produce easily. In some games this includes raw materials ("rare ingredients") that are used to manufacture value-added products. It''s the distribution of the rarest goods that are most affected. What gold farming ultimately does to the games economy is cause "economic growth." More players are playing more often, which generates more currency and more items and creates value added services. This can add to the volatility of the markets but because the economy is ultimately balanced by a computer algorithm it does not necessarily result in spiraling inflation. It is more likely to cause a combination of inflation/deflation by redistributing wealth. The most prominent effect of gold farming on the buy wow accountsis probably the way that it redistributes wealth. When players can buy gold with real-world cash a concentration of wealth occurs where more of the wealth is controlled by fewer players who can afford it.Because "it takes money to make money," players with extra gold can use that gold to become still more wealthy. It''s not unlike the real world where the more investable cash someone has, the more money they can make with it by investing it for a return. In economic circles this phenomenon is related to differential accumulation theory. The pool of wealthy players will also tend bid up the buy wow accountof the rarest items, because those are the items whose supply players have the least control over. They''re generated at fixed low rates in the game (e.g. "drop-rates"). At the same time the prices of more common items will drop because their supply rises. Players trying to work their way up through the ranks by producing their own FQAand services run into deflation, often dumping items for little or no profit or even sometimes for less than they cost to produce. It takes those players longer to acquire the rarest and most powerful items.
