First, the user numbers got extremely bloated when there were players with more than 50 fake accounts. Which is not gonna help anyone.
Second, trolls and such abused the fact that they could register with fake emails (which they no longer can because confirmation is required). Making it easier for us to stop trolling.
Third, the current value of ingame money is INFLATED. You are complaining about a lack of money, only because there are people that currently have HUGE sums of it. If that were not the case, prices on things such as escorts, auctions etc would undoubtedly become lower to reflect the new value of the currency.

Now, I agree that the minigames could be a bit more rewarding, and also more be added. So that gaining money would be less of a chore. I also spotted someone talking about daily/weekly "quests" which I think sounds like a rather good idea. Or lower the costs of stuff, either way would achieve the same thing.
And I've never been a fan of microtransactions, cause the price is always far above the value. I understand the wish/need for microtransactions though, but could agree with increasing the amount you get, rather than 1k for 1$, that feels very low, especially with how the economy currently is.

Also a big pointer. New players get their 1k on the first avatar. It's avatars made after the first one that don't get the 1k.

All in all, has removing alt farming fixed the economy? No. And improvements do need to be made to balance things out, somewhat.

but cant they still use fake emails though?
