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

With the obvious and very positive result of slicing radically the profit of RMT companies, as they have to sell cheaper gil that took them the same resources to farm.



That's probably because you don't know much about economy. Without making massive transactions or inserting currency into the economy, you can't have an appreciable effect on the economy.

To prevent the first, you simply limit the amount of months someone can purchase in a period of tine (as it's done on TERA). You don't need to prevent the second because no currency is inserted in the market with this system.

As a matter of fact, currency is removed from the market, as this kind of transaction is normally taxed.

There's no "advantage" because money does not grow from trees. People paying for this service would still have to spend a sizable amount of time making the money for it.



It's not your place to decide this.



Wrong. It's SE's best interest to allow as many people as possible to keep their subscription active. This is as elementary as it gets. Every lost accounts "hurts" them, because it's missed income. No matter if it's small or large. Missed income is missed income.



This has absolutely nothing to do with it.

It's not my place to decide whether someone should or should be not able to play, true. It's not my place to ask for alternatives either? Just as you are doing by asking for an alternative to keep more accounts active (which is where better crysta deals, or even gifting crysta to friends, come into play, so it has absolutely everything to do with it).

Money doesn't grow on trees, correct. My spare $$$ that I chose to spend on buying and reselling game time items will still allow me to get gil easier than other players, and in term allowing me to buy/finish/do stuff in game faster/easier/without the grind some or most players have to go through. I have to spend less time grinding and I'm happy about it. Thank the Twelve that I have enough $$$ I chose not to spend on a dinner and drinks that give me that advantage.

That's not an alternative. That's something else entirely. Both things could easily cohexist.

Easier? Are you telling me that earning gil in the game is harder than earning money in real life?

Boy, that's new.
