Should SE sell Gil (similar to WOW Tokens)

Hey this is a neat feature =/= copy the entire game

Just because someone wants one feature from another game doesn't mean they want that entire game cloned into the new one.

If this were the only thread in recent days made about adding a feature from WoW to FF14 I would not have said what I have. No, this is but one of many recently made. Feel free to search for the others to see what I mean.

I've read those threads. Sometimes they're different people. Sometimes they're the same people asking for other features. These will be around as long as other MMO's have features implemented in a way these people like and have been around long since before "recent days".
I stand by what I said, nobody is asking for FFXIV: WoW, or they'd be playing WoW.

All that being said you are certainly entitled to your vote nay or yay. Just don't get too caught up in the fact that someone referenced another MMO. THey like the feature, not the whole game.

I'm not the only one asking for a halt on suggesting things from WoW lol heck someone even made a thread about it.

no you aren't. ... is that reason enough to keep doing it even though it isn't actually relevant to the OPs intentions?

It just means even if I don't say it others will, and actually already have... Also it is to be expected in any other threads referencing WoW features made after this one. Hopefully, none happen in the near future...

Interesting logic: "others are gonna do it, why can't it be me?"

Every well implemented feature in an MMO will have a best example. WoW does a lot of things well because it's been around for a long time and many have played/are playing it. I've also heard suggestions from LotRO, GW2, and Lineage. Weirdly enough though the only ones people regularly pipe up against are the WoW ones.


I'm not a mod, so I can't stop anyone but I can try to inform. If you're just against it because it happens to be from one particular MMO, one has to wonder why?

It's not that I'm doing it because others are doing it, it's just that it means that many more people are rather disapproving of so many WoW-based feature suggestions.

I know many an mmo use like-minded features and the one game trying to be as different as possible is failing miserably because they can't even fix their own game and their balancing is a complete mess. As for how often suggestions come from other games, can't say I've seen any in sequence from the others, but I cannot deny possibly seeing them mentioned here and there.

Why am I against multiple suggestions coming from WoW? Well besides what I have heard of that game I just don't think games should intentionally incorporate too many features from a single game. In fact, I'm all for games trying not to copy from each other, but originality is hard to come by these days and some comparable features are inevitable. Still, I'd rather see ideas not directly copied from another game that can work for this game. For example, in the case of combating RMT (which is why this thread was made in the first place), simply add a little extra kick to reporting rmt, such as enough reports from different people temporarily suspending the account reported against. SE can then investigate the incident and if it's legit can permaban and if it isn't legit can take action on the false reporters. About 50 reports should suffice to help prevent abuse.
