It's time to reevaluate the idea of adding a PLEX/Chronoscroll-like system to FFXIV

Now, I really want to ask something for the "pay to win" doomsayers:

You say that paying real money to get in-game rewards is unfair. What about people with real time jobs and family who simply CANNOT get the rewards because they don't have enough time?

So, I shouldn't be allowed a house because I'm a filthy casual who is struggling to get his wallet past the 500k gil mark?
I mean... having more money isn't fair, but having more FREE TIME is?

Plz explain this logic.

simply no! i'm tired of the sorry escuse: "i have a life and familly and i can't get many gils"
the truth is more you don't know how get more credit, it's you don't want to know... in reality you simply want to sit in front of your desk and play the game and get everything handed. the plex system help for this.... you have cash, buy plex and get the gils you don't want to earn by yourself.

want a trick for get gils? play crafter a bit and gatherer.... use the ixal quest for level up your craft. get to 50 and sell some prism, it's easy cash that recquire little to no time. don't want to gather? use your servan for get the shard and component! some ingot can be sell a tons of cash for a bit of work.

anyway, you have tons of way to get gil... you simply don't want to earn gil you want it handed! plex system only serve this purpose.... allowing people that prefer pay them way into the game instead to play the game!

the sub model is perfect, people are always complaining about it and all, but it's simply because they want to have the way to pay them way into the game. like use the shop or such. simply no plex system for god sake! it's almost worst than free to play!

People had jobs, went to school and ground Xi, which was "far" more grind than Xiv, there are elements of a game that have to be "played" to get anywhere, everyones threshold concerning "grind/time" is different.

It is however getting beyond ridiculous how people define grind, like the guy in another thread who wants all the new jobs to start at 30 so he can skip the 1-15 "grind" >.>.

Simply paying for advancement isn't "playing" an MMO, take up bowling, or just quit gaming and work more or less.

To the OP, just no.
