The "correction" won't happen as soon as you guys think. It's easier for LOC to supply the market with extra pp, than device a method to remove pp from the market. The problem is psychology. People like being given free stuff, but people hate it when you make them take their stuff away, even if it is for a good cause.

Think of what methods LOC can actually implement to remove pp from the market. LOC can't lowered the typical pp rewards that you get for participating in events, otherwise people will view that playing these events is less econmincal and refuse to play. (That's why for a long time a lot of guilds refuse to play BR). They can't bring back raid Full Attack, even though that is a massive pp burner, because doing so will overwhelm the server again. ...etc .etc etc.

The only things that LOC can do to alleviate the clone pp problem, LOC is already doing. For example, the raid key boss UR reward percentage went from 1/500 to 1/600 (most people probably didn't notice). They added token box reward to encourage people to play BR (because BR is a fast pp burner), and yet the token box reward percentage is even lower, and filled with mostly junk rewards instead of pp. LOC also have been giving out free high-power URs, so that the lower-end players now have a fighting chance against high-level players (ie, Amasol, Lisa...etc).

These methods all help eventually, but these will still take way longer time to remove pp from the market. So I guess what I am trying to say is, we probably should live with the market as it is now and try to adopt to it. Because that big crash/correction that we are all hoping for is probably not coming at all. It will probably be a long slow re-normalization....
