Where do all the mesos come from?

Hi Basil! I was wondering, where do all the mesos come from? Millions (if not billions) of mesos are lost in tax every day which means that with time the amount of mesos in the maple economy should decrease, but somehow this doesn't happen? It seems that people don't actively farm mesos (everyone tries to merchant, which increases loss of mesos through tax), so with little input and huge expenditure, how does the maple economy stay afloat? Even with meso bags and 'meso sites', I don't think the few individuals willing to trade real cash for in-game currency will be able to support the whole of the maple economy; a person who inputs 1 bil in meso bags will have that input negated after a day of fm tax reductions (the server as a whole). So basil, the question is, WHERE DO ALL THE MESOS COME FROM? Dun dun dun! D: Edit: Regarding the '1 million payers get 1 meso each = 1million mesos' idea, that works given that the amount of mesos you pick up exceeds your potion usage. As a warrior I find it hard to make much profit from my training, and I think many close range or melee classes would be in the same situation? So basically the CBs/Shadowers and Sins/NLs (or any other class with high avoid) are fueling economy? Hm?

if 1 million players get 1 meso then there's 1m mesos. If 1m players get 1k meso theres's 1b right there. so it's monster drops basically since the dawn of maple history and lots of money moving around.

Well, now that i think about it my post is slightly wrong because there's 1m+ players total but I'd say the most populated server has 100k-200k players but the concept is the same.

On a popular day, Scania averages on around 60-100k players on at once. (give or take) x 11 servers = 660,000 players. Probably much less considering not all the server are as heavily populated as scania.
