Yeah of course @NotEvilAtAll but be advised I'm mostly speaking from the perspective of economy, I can't talk much on the dev side of things outside of what I've seen. SO, currently the economy team plans to control and manipulate the flow of mina via one large pool that bleeds out into various different outputs. So the main one on launch will be voting like I said, so we can see how much mina has been given out, what's in the players hands and whether or not we should give more minas out to stimulate things or if we need to reduce amounts if the pool gets low. But stuff like the bank tax and things like the CT shops will bring mina back into that pool to ensure there is mina in it for voting and that stuff to continue without us just infinitely spawning mina and trying to counteract it via mina sinks, this way the mina sinks circulate into usable mina again without us spawning more. We can of course increase and manage the amounts of both voting and the overall pool as time goes on, but it's just that we're trying to keep a much closer eye on the economy so we don't continue to get to the end of every map and mina is useless and everyone has tens of thousands of it at least with no use for it. We want mina to be valuable and useful along with having valued resources that you want to spend your mina on (Vortex).

Alright. Just remember to avoid deflation in regards to purchasing power as the supply of resources goes up and up and there's not enough demand to buy it all, as has been seen on every map, crafting system or no crafting system.

I think it'd be best to slowly increase the pool of minas as needed, otherwise the ratio of minas to resources is constantly falling lower and lower.

@ShannonLeigh Looks like I was wrong and they are keeping a 5% maintenance fee according to Hiebe on the LoTC discord. Wonder how often that fee is applied.
