The vocabulary he linked to originates on tvtropes, not with anyone who has actual expertise in regulating game economies. There may be people with considerable expertise in this field, but if so, I doubt that’s the jargon they use, unless they picked it up from tvtropes; we certainly didn’t pick it up from them.
I do find it a bit hilarious how badly the economy of Neopets is managed. The administrators are completely blind to the realities of the system they’ve created, and the prices of goods on the site had increased in a range of one to three orders of magnitude while they were still reporting inflation levels in the single digit percentage range.
