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

[AlexionSkylark]

People who desperately want housing purchase a ton of tokens with real life money, sell them for gil

OMG, you really believe there is so many people out there willing to shell out 100s of dollars just to become a game's real state speculator? Oh wow, now we're going inside the realm of insanity. This is NOT going to happen. People who work and have jobs and family don't normally throw away money at a computer screen that easily. Unless you're talking about someone who's handsomely rich IRL. How many of those you believe there are in a single server? Please.

I want my effort in-game to dictate my rewards, not what I do outside of it.

So you go and do it! PLEX wouldn't hurt the economy in any way, if much it'd help LOWER inflation, cuz of the massive gil sink it would be. As in, the gil YOU are not sinking would be given to someone who will. Your ability to make gill wouldn't be hurt in any way thinkable. Stop worrying so much about how other people are gonna get their stuff.

Stop thinking that because you are younger or have more free time you have the right to be a special snowflake, entitled to not having more ppl into your exclusive club. Newsflash, you don't.

I could see this very easily wrecking some of the smaller servers here.

Actually, as the price for it is mostly player-regulated, a PLEX in a small server would be sold to a much smaller value than it is sold in a big server...

Oh yeah, and about TERA, it had a very expressive playerbase at launch. It's selling point NEVER was the Elin porn, the majority of player characters aren't even Elin. It was the action-oriented, kingdom-hearts-esque combat with no tab targeting. Still is to this day, BTW.
