I did that once, saved up 500 gold from video offers alone.. blew it all in the first 11 hour war when I was in my relatively new T150 syn with 15 players.. now I no longer get videos since I got my new phone. Saving is very effective though, I actually scra.ped up near 800/900 gold from just tapjoy offers (one being 450 itself) to hold my mins in a T20.. but since I'm no longer there I can now save the 500 I have left in case I need it in the future

So? These doomsday prophecies always amused me. 3 years ago everyone had 50 attack, and someone warned about the day where everyone will have (heaven forbid) 50k atk! Then everyone had 50k and we were warned about 5m, 50m etc.
Nothing wrong with inflation, as long as it's relatively steady (and it is).
Trying to artificially slow it down is something gree already tried and failed in the past. It's not like there's an upper limit.
Where do you think these games will be in 3 more years? I want your opinion. With inflation in mind. CC that is, and (if you wish) MW. What will the average statistics be for a member of a top 1,000 group and where will the new players start?
(All of this assuming the inflation keeps going on the way it does.)
If Gree is still around, and they probably will be, these games will probably be doing about the same as ever. Whatever the average stats of the top 1,000 syndicates, new players will catch up to be competitive just as easily as they currently do.
The real issue with stat inflation is how quickly past gold spend becomes devalued. Three years ago it cost hundreds or thousands of real dollars to obtain stats in the neighborhood of 300k. These days stats like that are available from just one item. If inflation happens too quickly nobody will bother using gold because anything spent today is worth nothing tomorrow. If inflation occurs too slowly people reach a point where they feel like they've hit a ceiling and get bored.
On topic, if the stats on LTB items don't make it into your mafia, time to get out your wallet. Once it's out though, you can never put it away or you'll again be upset you can't "make any progress" for free.
