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

Yeah, exclusivity doesn't matter... that's why Savage Coil did so well OH **** WAIT IT DIDN'T! I think we should apply this ACROSS THE GAME! Items need some worth (most of it coming from exclusivity), otherwise there is no carrot on the stick.

If it is a flaw in the system and not working as intended, then surely SE is taking steps to fix the problem. And if they aren't, then why do you think that is?

And you need to work on your reading comprehension. Thanks to this lovely little system I got to spend a trivial amount of in-game money (for me) on something that would have otherwise cost me $20.

They did take steps, they asked players to stop doing it. If it was "working as intended" they'd flat out tell people they could do it. The PR disaster and work needed to roll back everyone's accounts (if even possible) would be more work then it is worth.
