Why no Plex system?

[Snow_Princess]

Because by your own "gil is worthless" stance.. people in game can ALREADY buy themselves to that. There is nothing someone who is buying the gil can do that someone else who is just hoarding the gil can't do just as quickly.
Not timegated.

I'm not here to argue whether timegating is a good idea or not. I'm stating why it's there.

surely you realize it been illegal and the prices is a deterrent? I do not know what you are ultimately trying to show with this post though. I know the reasoning why the time gating is there, I was not asking why it was there. I was explaining why it makes no sense and why it would make even less sense with the plex system, along with making the econ issue worse.

I am going to end this post with this idea. I do not know if you want to favor the plex system or not despite what I said, for those that do, well I will enjoy you giving people like me more power over the econ + free sub, but it will not be good for about 80% of the player base (anyone that doesn't keep buying /selling tokens and people dedicated to earning gil.

To everyone insisting this won't work, let's put this in perspective...

MMO developers who make billions of dollars developing and running MMOs came to the conclusion that the only way to truly defeat RMT is to offer their own system of RMT.

RMTers spam us in game and try to hack into our accounts. RMTers are the primary reason we even HAVE two factor authentication.

I promise: MMOs like WoW and EVE also have players who hoard loads of currency in-game, and not surprisingly, the plex systems didn't ruin those games, just like it won't ruin FFXIV.

It never ceases to amaze me that people can somehow believe they know better than multi-billion dollar companies when it comes to solutions that are already working in games right now...

Again, companies that make billions developing MMOs are already using the system you insist is going to destroy FFXIV.

Let that sink in for a while...

Those econs prob have an econ system that works, so plex isn't a big deal, here though it would make a bad econ worse, much worse. Do any of those MNO has a huge shortage in housing? from what people say here it is only a problem with FFXIV, and plex make it worse.
