i singlehandedly destroyed an economy once

explain

when i was like 12 i played on a private server of a popular MMORPG that had a couple hundred thousand players or so. there was this item you could get from a boss that you needed to make the best equipment in the game but the boss only spawned once every couple hours

anyway since i was 12 and had nothing else to do i played this game from the moment i got home from school until i went to bed and eventually i got a couple of them. people sold them in their personal stores for about 1 million so i sold mine and then started buying them from every store i could find and then selling them in my own store for an inflated price. i kept doing this every day and then soon they were being sold for 2-3 billion each

so i personally caused one of the most important items in the game to increase in price by ~2000x. and to make it even worse i got bored of the game like a few weeks later and never played again, leaving everyone else to deal with the mess i caused
