I have another suggestion how to solve the powermining and inflation "problem" in quite a simple and effective way - maybe it was already mentioned in this thread (sorry, I didn't read the whole discussion
so if it is so, then just forget this post):
Just lower the price npc's are willing to pay for platinum stocks in such a way that it will become much more unattractive to spent hours and hours at the mine (only a bit higher than the price for gold stocks for example).
In my opinion it would be the most logical reaction to the high amount of platinum being produced in Yliakum right now, for the supply is huge and the demand is ... well ... not existing. So in every working free market the price for platinum stocks would be nearly zero now, but as long as such a working market isn't implemented in Yliakum yet, the programmers should adjust this ridiculous price for platinum. I think now is the perfect time!
(Some time ago I participated in an roleplaying attempt to lower the price for platinum ores, but we failed due to lack of support.
)

... such a claim would be perhaps legitimate for online games like World of Warcraft where you have to pay - but you don't have to.
