Which they're gonna do. Because that's what corporations do.
HOWEVER, there's a really obvious solution staring us in the face: Uber Diablo. If y'all can recall, this was invented to permanently remove Wealth from the economy back in the days when Wealth was often measured in SoJs.
We just need more of that. We need cube recipes useful to high-end players that require (and destroy) unique items, high runes, etc.
These recipes don't have to be super OP in terms of introducing new meta-destroying OP equipment; they just have to be useful enough that the high end botters will be incentivized to burn through their inventory in order to, oh I don't know, reroll to get perfect Death Webs (just for example), instead of flooding the market.
The crazy high Wealth players will still exist, but their efforts don't trickle down into the rest of the experience as much because they're incentivized to destroy most of their huge hauls instead of trading (and which inevitably results in crazy overpaying.)
I don't know what the magic formula would be but just as a thought experiment consider starting with something as simple as any 2 uniques --> 1 Ral rune (or 2 flawless amethysts or something.) Then perhaps you could reroll any unique for 4 Jahs, and any set item for 4 Bers. I'm not saying it has to be exactly that, but stuff along those lines.
It wouldn't make things perfect, but it would make things a hell of a lot better.
Can be used to make Runewords:
