Well getting rid of scripters and dupings etc. of course would be grand, and would help fix quite a bit of imbalances and economy warpings from getting worse. Deleting the products of said activities would do some fixing retroactively as well, though it's impossible to be done fairly since the items & gold are now in possession of god knows who...

Simply bringing about an apocalypse that destroys everything is just a temporary solution, like anything that just "resets" our accumulated wealth. It won't remove the problems why we have an inflated economy in the first place, so eventually we'll be in the same situation again. What we need is more lasting changes to the very economical structure. What those would be I can't say, I'm far from a genius when it comes to money matters

But I guess it's fairly clear we do need more gold sinks.
