Moreover, I can manage even with only 300k for repair and teleporting like crazy.
Yeah. a PLEX system /could/ work and could be a great way to drain the excess gil from the inflated economy, but with the games main gil sink housing being limited and everything else existing in the short term. I don't see it helping unless SE comes up with more gil sinks or something that exists in the long term.

The other issue is balance, something...SE doesn't have the best track record with and this is what would worry me the most about a PLEX system in this game. There's a fine line between using a PLEX sale just because you want something fun now or just want a little extra money, to a PLEX system that makes you feel like you have no choice but to use it just to get by in basic game upkeep.
