>Literally how and why
They stabilize the economy quite a lot, which is why you don’t see crazy prices on 99% of the items you need. For example, let’s say you put a lot of effort into playing fractals but not into gathering the materials needed for armor. Instead of the game forcing you to grind endlessly for those items, you can simply buy almost everything you need at reasonable prices, so your effort doesn’t go to waste. That makes it super satisfying.
No, compare that to EVE Online, another mmo that has a player-driven economy the whole thing is one massive rage-bait.
