Do you really need to have 10 million in the bank? What can you do with 10 million that you cant do with one million *if the entire economy is adjusted down*!! WS tapes and AS tapes go for a million or so a point. What is they only went for 100k a point? Your Million credits would buy you the exact same tape. All thas happened is a zero was dropped of the end of all the numbers involved.

I'm not sure if your point is that deflation is good (it is a benefit for those who hold money), or you are arguing for not trying too hard to get rich.
If the latter, the 10million will let you handle much more valuable products bechause you will be able to buy them without bankrupting yourself. And it will let you do 10 times as much of whatever you want whether it is thowing parties, or donating to newbies, or building a large display of crystals in your house.
But none of that is really relevant to the need to give the Merchant profession the same degree of advantages from gaining skills as other professions get. Right now we get a few toys and some minor benefits. Every other profession goes from feeble to powerfull in the same span
