      I remember making tons of money with the different gp:pp ratio in pupland.

      I'm guessing that's where players with >1M pp came up with the cash.
     
     
  I think the main issue is this -

  At level 10-15 or so, there really isn't much left to buy in the stores (not 
that the stores are empty, just that there isn't much of interest for the 
characters to buy).

  So what this means is that any dungeon they go through, basically they keep 
all the treasure they find as money (in terms of coinage, as well as selling 
items they found).

  As you get higher levels, the monetary gain from dungeons increase - more 
likely to find piles of really good stuff worth good amount of money.

  And hence starts the discussions of recurring expenses for high level 
characters and what not to use up some of that money.
