Real talk: Nobody over here has any idea how those tokens actually work or why they are a good thing. All you ever get is non-discussion and kneejerk reactions. You're better off just leaving it be on the forums and hoping SE pays attention to other games, like the rest of us.

There's a sizeable crowd out there who wants them. We just mostly have to stay silent on the forums because of this reaction you're seeing here.

WoW does this and somehow magically it hasn't become a pay to win or a subscription free game.

Exactly. Wow still has a sub. 14.99 a month.

What about RMT spam? If WoW also still have RMT spam, then that featue is broken.

Wouldn't they just end up being undercutted to death?

No...at least not there where they belong.

Oh, man. It's almost like the token system is useful in more than one way and that while WoW still has RMT trade, tokens lessen it significantly and WoW GMs prevent it from being advertised in game and investigate out of game reports and sites.

My fiancé does not pay for anything in WoW with actual money. Not our subs, race changes, name changes, or faction changes. All of it is paid with in game currency, and its very convenient for our wallets.

I know y'all on the forums have some weird hate for WoW for whatever reason, but its been around much longer than ffxiv and ffxi, and is wildly successful, pretending that ffxiv wouldn't benefit from taking ideas and concepts from WoW (or that it hasn't in the past lol) is frankly ridiculous.

Oh I'm not pretending.

I saw first hand just how badly the WoW token inflated the player market when it got introduced, because now people had a powerful incentive to spend as much time as possible gathering a veritable fortune in ingame currency, because of the ability to save real money spent on subscription. And the whole thing went south from there.

The WoW token is even part of the reason why I in the end quit the game, as it drasticly overinflated the player market, and made things almost impossible to buy unless you did serious currency grinding. Something I pray I'll never have to see happen to FF14, as I genuinely feel the only people this would benefit are those that are hardcore crafters and/or gatherers, who only do dungeon or story content outof necessity.

Just because FF14 lifted some ideas from WoW, and because WoW is generaly considered the king of MMO's, it doesnt mean everything WoW did ever is automaticly the best idea

This is incorrect. FFXI released 2 years before WoW did.

No, it would destroy in game economy.
