My point exactly. As someone who's dropped thousands on this game and knows others who've done the same, This could not be further from the truth. Veterans are what keep this game alive.

It didn't happen to EU because EU players had no reset scrolls to sell. Reset scrolls are only obtainable through the vg shop and most people spend their vg points on crafters cures on EU so nobody had huge stacks. Also their reset scroll prices got halved so there's that.
"The economy would have stabilized" isn't really the point at all. Of course the economy will eventually stabilize from any cataclysmic event until it reaches a new normal. The issue is: who are the winners and losers in that process, and is that fair? With a massive scale event like this, the impact isn't isolated so it's like you can just ban the "exploiters" and that's the end of it -- it completely pervades the game. The fact that eventually it'd reach equilibrium doesn't change the massive upheaval caused and the way that slants the economy in favor of the beneficiaries. The new players, the returning players, and those that didn't exploit all lose.
This whole situation was caused by human error, and the rollback provides a way to undo those errors. Unlike real world cataclysmic events and the fallout that happens, a game gives you the chance to reset. Given that opportunity, it's better to go down a more fair and equitable path, even if it means people lose up to ~16 hours of play time, rather than having the results of the grossly unfair imbalance play out over months and months until equilibrium is reached.
Even if they were just added in January, anyone that saved up elite boxes for how many years would get them when you open the boxes just before the patch hit like I did.
Time to ask all players their start date when they apply to my LFGs so I can actually kill the game by denying them from my parties so they have no reason to play, since they want to cry to the forums and have my personal time rolled back because they couldn't make the same gold as someone who's had elite for close to 5 years straight.
It was Rox's opinion at the time. It wasn't an official statement, nor did he rule out completely a rollback. Politely get outta here trying to cause crap.
He said 'I' not 'we'. It was obviously his viewpoint and that was before the exploit was made known to them.

PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN OFF WORK JUST TO BE SLAPPED IN THE FACE) rolled back because they couldn't make the same gold as someone who's had elite for close to 5 years straight.
You are pleased to have sold your moongourds for a far higher price than their value I get that. But does this boon outweigh the short term effect this inflation will have? I'd personally prefer to know my items sold and not simply cause a bunch of other players got a ton of extra gold in 24 hours.
SHORT term inflation. Key point here ladies and gents
Perhaps you forgot to count the new price of PP potions?
Not to mention elite? (assuming gold purchase).
Edit:
Also this.
even if it means screwing the people that kept/keep the game alive by spending and playing over? how is that fair for people who got dungeon drops, enchanted or grinded levels?
What part of that says I'm pleased? The gold doesn't matter to me, I'm just showing you a small example of how the economy would have worked to stabilize. What matters to me is my *time*.
Tell that to people who sacrificed their wages for yesterday. I'm sure they would appreciate it. At the end of the day, no one will be happy. What ever happened to KitTeaCup's promise with connecting with the community? All this talk about increasing player input from the Proxy Fiesta, a couple of months back, seems to be just another empty promise. People are fed up regardless of this situation of unfairness. EME has no connection with their player base and they wonder what they're doing wrong..
