I can understand why you feel that way. However, seed tickets and consumable items in general are no longer the best way to earn tokens. I'd recommend either selling your farming services for people doing the storyline quests/farm ingredients for it and sell them, selling legendary items, and things more of that nature. Also, do you know about our vote forsaken king set and the legendary quests? Because these basically eliminate the need for tokens for new players. You would definitely be able to play with just vote/legendary gears. Items that you'd need tokens for are mostly aesthetic, with the exception of more "end-game" items like the storyline rings. It might be worth checking out our getting started guide if you haven't already: https://forsaken-ro.net/getting-started/
PS: More than half of our players are active at a time, not that many people are AFK. Most AFK people will go to Fcity; however, there's lots of people who are actively hunting MvPs, farming, questing, etc. And not everyone in Fcity is AFK either, I see a lot of activity there during peak times in the day. :)

As for the topic: yes, prices fluctuate in an economy. This depends largely on supply and demand. People will inflate prices, but only if people are willing to pay that inflated price. I've been here for a long time and there will always be ups and downs in the economy: it's pretty normal. I'm not quite sure what your suggestion is, but if people do have suggestions I would still be interested in hearing them. I will say though that GM interference in the economy usually would not be good.
