Players trying to sell resources to get gold to exchange for coins would have an immediate effect on market prices. Once the excess gold has been removed from a server the economy would settle down. 10 mill. gold/coin may be a little bit too low but I think 100 mill. gold/coin would be too high.
It's only unfair in comparing server to server, but coins cannot be transferred from one server to another so each server's economy is protected. Also, it is only unfair because the oldest servers have not had any gold sink and the gold has kept building up. Once again, after a frenzied period of trading, the economy would settle down and even out with newer servers, which would have the advantage of lower market prices in the growth stages as gold would have a value other than buying resources.
