Yes, you can look at it that way about ori but when we cap denar production they value would be there anyway as all of the players would compete over the same pool of denar anyway. You want more than your share produces go the the market and buy it, simple as that.

And the benefit of upgrading items through combining would be that items with lower tier would be also useful because they get printed more therefor they would be higher level than the higher tier ones.

Just thoughts tho I like the discussion, make people think and come up with a system that is sustainable and fun for everybody.
