I also don't mind the increase to 9k due to inflation. Inflation's bound to happen and I appreciate their transparency in telling us about it, instead of just silently increasing it. I also don't believe they intend to increase it by 3k every month, they're just trying to figure out our economy now, this early in the site's history. ^_^

You have 30 days to make the necessary potatoes to get the items you want. You might not get everything, but that's why it's Premium. They have to make the turnips worth something. I like that Premium stuff is valuable. The people who get it are those who will either work really hard for it or pay turnips for it.
