In real life economy you also don't have NPCs who have unlimited money and use it to buy useless stuff which is then destroyed. That's the reason why game economies don't work without a money sink.

Regarding the graphic you posted: Sorry, but I don't understand the meaning of the arrows.

I haven't put a ton of thought into this, but I know I have mentioned it before. I would like to see the money that players give to NPCs go to a pot which could then be used by the world. Maybe something along the lines of having more services or nicer buildings for a particular village/town that has more product purchased from it. Equally, maybe it would be possible to have a set amount of money that NPCs can use to purchase items from players, which could be taken from that pot. The problem I see with that is where does money come from then? I guess it could be limited to quests and monster drops, but from the sounds of things, that would change portions of game design (the argument that comes to mind is "why would mobs drop money?").

Why would mobs drop many of the things they do drop?
