It's not just that it is fiat money and all MMO economies are definitely not the same, not even close. For starters EQ has no plat sink really of any global significance.

This is true. Some games are able to control inflation by built-in mechanisms to remove large swaths of currency in the game. If anyone has played the Elder Scrolls Online, trading spots in that game are auctioned off weekly for player guilds to bid over. To get a choice trading location in the game, guilds would spend exorbitant sums of money to acquire. This removes that much currency from the game, and the market can stay at an equilibrium. EQ has never had this, and it's why servers that have been up for a long time (ex. Firiona Vie on live) have high-end items going for 12-15 million platinum.
