You misunderstand - there are many different economic disfunctions.
"How is there a correlation between levels and the economy being jacked up?"
In this case I was only refering to the low lvl economy problems.
This particular problem is that high and low levels share the same money pool. This problem is then compounded by many low levels being alts of high levels.
Its not worth the high levels or the alts time to both selling low value newbie gear.
There is simply no way to have a working low level economy when a small number of low levels share the money pool with a large number high levels. You can have a funcational low level game, but its economy will be largly supported by NPCs,and living off the land, or by high level charity.
On the other hand I feel there are good solutions which make for a fun and functional high level economy.
