How about adding a chef who sells lower leveled food (1-5) for moderate prices. Say something like 100k-1 or 2 million. This makes it easy for player chefs to sell cheaper and make money as well as give the players (all players) temp stat boosts for using their zeny.

The only drawback would be their use durring WoE, but considering the price i doubt they would be spammed.
I suggest this because unlike elemental resist potions or alchemist goods, foods tend to be rare to find via vendors and their prices vary so much its impossible to get a fix on how much they're actually worth.

This establishes a price range for them, gives players easy access to temporary stat boosts and takes down inflation a bit.

Another idea would be a monster room. Similar to MVP, you would select which monster you wanted to fight and it would spawn say 20 of them (or w/e number works) The harder the monster is to find the higher the price. Certain exceptions could be made for monsters that have high priced cards and of course not all monsters would be available this way.
Im not a huge fan of this idea myself but it would work to drop inflation, the downside being people wont have to hunt as hard sometimes and taekwon mission might gets screwed up cuz of it.

The other thing i can think of is to triple the cost of all current items found in tool shops. Since these items are often used/bought in great amounts this would not only make current classes more useful and relied upon, but it would cut down on inflation. The only drawback with this idea is that newbies might have a bit more trouble, but so long as we pitch in and help em out a bit even that can be solved

I dont think raising prices in the mall will fix anything, or selling food for high prices. The idea is to lower cost instead of raising it. One way would to be simply replacing the current mvp room with a newer version. The zeny factor will greatly decline because its the main source of zeny for most players. Another would be to remove the zeny to GC converter, lets face it players buy from players, their is no reason for it to be in the npc. This will allow the price of gc's to flux with the market since nothing can be a static price, however the price will be have a cap of 60m as the highest a gc can be sold for, but it can easily go down to 30m as well depending on the market and amount being sold(as in amount of people selling gc's).

"In economics, inflation is a rise in the general level of prices of goods and services in an economy over a period of time.[1] When the price level rises, each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services; consequently, inflation is also an erosion in the purchasing power of money – a loss of real value in the internal medium of exchange and unit of account in the economy.[2][3] A chief measure of price inflation is the inflation rate, the annualized percentage change in a general price index (normally the Consumer Price Index) over time"

doesnt say anything about money out of NOTHING.

and yes inflation was created on here by greedy people because the PLAYERS set the price for the cards. noone ever said Thanatos is worth 200 usd, or that gemini-s58 is worth 120million in game money. players did. One guy got a card one day and was like man..that was helpful..oh look at that..other players need that card..hmmm *greed* well if they want it so bad then they have to pay. so they charge 100mil for it even though it could easily be sold for 20-30mil and they make profit..CAAA CHING!!!! they realize they can do that with EVERY card if they want and they tell friends and so on and so forth. Only thing set by price are the items at the mall and even then the gms can change that. so reducing the zenny from monsters is a terrible idea
