i like the flow chart, as it allows you to pinpoint the issue pretty accurately tbh, and in my eyes, it seems that 'Degradation' is the problem child, i dont understand exactly what that is supposed to signify.

yea, gold creation makes the economy flow. No gold = no flow = no commerce
The problem is not the gold creation, but the situation of gold creation > gold removal. This will cause economic inflation where everyone will have a lot of gold to buy everything, many houses and many rare item, making the gameplay suck

but the degradation I think it's related to damaged items, like a weapon (value: 65gp) getting damaged and destroyed. For many ppl this weapon is not gold, but in economic terms, it's 65gp getting destroyed
