I'd rather see forced deflation introduced into the economy via changing how large sums of plat themselves are treated. The larger your deposits of plat in the bank or on an account, the more negative interest per day they attract. This is similar to NIRP (negative interest rate policy) being enacted by central banks, and punishes wealth hoarders and encourages spending.
Implementing this would not affect your everyday joe XPing, because we could set the limit at 5 or 10k, but would hit large stores of wealth pretty hard. It's also very easy to code and doesn't require changing any game mechanics. To be honest it can be as simple as one SQL update that's run in a batch every night or week.
To address hoarding gems and such to get around this, sales to vendors above a certain plat amount per day can have diminishing returns.
