Why no Plex system?

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.

Yes, it could work for people with tons of gils lying around, not for newcomers in ffxiv with little gil to spare, mind you. This will cause a disparity between new and veteran players.
And yes, SE is BAD at balancing things, so that's why it's bad to have PLEX cos econ reasons.
How bout earning extra money for paying ffxiv sub instead of whining in forums for PLEX system or mandatory mogstation items. /flex

That's....typically how PLEX systems in any game that uses it works. Players with in game currency to burn buy PLEX from players who /choose/ to buy it to sell for said in game currency. It's a choice so there's really no disparity between both parties. Unless it goes back to the balance issues I'm concerned with here. It's it a choice to sell as a newer player or player with less funds to survive, or if it's forced to use if SE does indeed make up more gil sinks or long term investments to where gil is actually needed.

Sorry, my support for them in games where it does work doesn't mean I'm "whining" for one here. I have no problem paying my sub here and in two other games as well along with making real world ends meet, thank you.
