SE Please implement a Chonoscroll/PLEX system in FFXIV: ARR

[Duuude007]

I already conceded buying gear with IRL money can be a valid addition, so long that it is purely cosmetic in nature and no resources are drained from more important content.

It must fully fund itself, and subs can fund the content that really matters, with maybe a small bonus stipend from any profit this cosmetic armor purchasing system somehow dreams up.

This system doesn't require much development resources at all. It's almost all handled on the website/billing system. All the development team needs to implement is
a few database queries and
an icon for the item.

and an actual item.
and 9 other variations for 5 different species and 2 genders.
and balancing stats (my position is this should be universally zero for anything purchased under your system.)

Youre right, its oh so simple.

I mean, the scarf of wondrous wit is an excellent candidate for your concept. It looks nifty, but is otherwise worthless.
I can see the appeal, but going one step further to make it useful...
Let's just say you shouldn't be holding your breath.

Umh no. Wait. No.

The Chronoscroll/Plex is purely an inventory item. A consumable. It doesn't have any appearance other than an icon in your inventory.

You buy it from the billing website (exactly like you werebuying crysta). It goes in your inventory. You put it for sale. Someone Buys it. It goes in his inventory. He clicks on it. A popup comes up asking if he's sure he wants to use it. He confirms. A month gets added to his account.

That's it. It's not something you wear, and I'm not sure how you jumped to that idea.

You seem to have moved to the idea of selling cosmetic items to generate additonal revenue, but that has absolutely nothing to do with this.

It addresses an entirely different kind of problem and it generates others.
