tbh, good enough. When inflation is slow like it was when I joined no one complained about it. Only in the last few years was it moaned about, so slowing it down (and punishing those who are causing it) will be fine.
Rusty, you're not taking into consideration the fact that a few years ago there was no vashied and such-like people with the only aim at mind to screw the game and its economy one-handedly. In my 2.5 years in the old CW i've seen the prices rise from 500k per ec to 8 mill (just before the reset, which basically happened thanks to vashied). There were many attempts on stabilizing the prices and imho only one succeeded - opening unlimited energy restore. This was the most fair system (you paid different price depending on your level, right?). This update is good, up to a point. It certainly will slow the inflation down, but not prevent it. Also... imo people who just try to screw up the economy of the game should be:
a) banned from selling on the market
b) jailed
c) banned from the game on permanent basis.
I know earning money is important and stuff, but you can do it in a normal way not fucking up the whole game in a week.
Also...

how about, to reduce the cost, you increase the supply? regulating the supply is the politician's way out.
I dont agree wit the first part, i do agree with the second. Open the unlimited energy restore again. This time however, make it rank-based - the higher your rank, the more you pay for 5 energy. This will not only slow down inflation (stagnate it?) but also take a steady stream of money out of the game and equalize the chances between n00bs and old-timers (to a point of course).
Thanks for your attention
