This NeoPets racket reminds me of when a splinter of my EverQuest guild... me, a married couple in Boston, my ex in Florida, and a dude in DC, went and rigged the prices of low lvl crafting materials on our server. For years, our server had the highest inflation of any EQ server. https://twitter.com/everestpipkin/status/1297485937384001537
When World of Warcraft dropped, it was clear they went and fixed a lot of the problems with EverQuest.
They made it so high end crafting wasn't exponential in the mats. New tier? All new mats needed to craft.
I legit think we personally caused that by rigging an entire economy

Once we started running our con, Zebuxoruk server's prices ran 300% ish more than average.
And this was a game that already had an economy/exchange rate equivalent to early 00s Russia.
We were the rubles. We screwed with the dollar-platnium exchange.
