This server needs a serious MONEY SINK.
What's that? A way for currency to EXIT the economy. ATM its just tinkerer's bag that takes 5k chunks out of players hands, and maybe some professions that take some more. Other than that money just cycles between players until you have guilds with millions of plat and players charging hundreds of thousands for certain items.
Implement some kind of aesthetic bonus for a steep price (i.e. purchase a sick animation glow or something that lasts a limited time) and give incentive for players to spend money to NPCs.
This will help the economy which desperately needs aid. Nothing that gives stat advantage though. Purely aesthetic. Or you will have further power imbalance for the long-term players.
