Is there a cap on how much an item's price can inflate? There really should be.

There was something of a cap put on things like vials and ammo, as I recall. Things like armor and weapons? No, there isn't.

More armor/weapon/lowbie jewelry shops.

That is incorrect. Everything is capped but the cap is higher for some things than others.

You would know better than I, but if that's the case, then perhaps the caps on things like armor and weapons can be re-examined, because it seems they just keep rising forever.

The code works just fine for the high-level store-bought items that it's intended to regulate (vials, wands, scrolls, staves, etc, whose prices skyrocket and stay that way essentially forever), but where it falls apart and detracts from enjoying the playing experience of the game is when it makes it frustrating to even engage in the tedium of leveling to a point where your character is taken seriously.

This has been addressed in the past. Items that Amateurs through Initiates should buy never inflate in value at all. Other items up through Journeyman only inflate at half the normal rate. If you are trying to buy higher level items at low levels, then you are trying to buy the wrong items for that stage of play.

If it's tedious it's not fun. About sums it up.
