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

The fact that the month of gameplay is equivalent to its tive/value in real life still doesn't negate the fact that, I can get gil by going to real life work, and not actually playing the game.

I'm not sure how "Playing the game" has any implication of merit.

Nope, that's just how you chose to read it

Then you have a chance to explain, because your statement definitely looks like that.

Most honest response I've seen here yet. People have stated that it's too soon to know if we need this. I agree. 2.0 isn't even out yet. However, this is just a discussion on the idea. Yet most of the responses are fear of the letters RMT. There is still that guy who is ok with what little RMT we did have in 1.0 because we're used to it. It made me smile

Me too, a bit bitterly though.

It doesn't? Hmmm. . . . I'm sorry, I guess I was wrong for thinking that I should be playing a game in order to earn game currency which will allow me not to grind crafting materials or other items.

I suppose I should have put "in the game" bold+italic+underlined somewhere in that statement, as to state the obvious, but oh well /shrug

This suggestion was terrible the first time it got boo'd off these forums and it is just as terrible now.

42 likes and growing. Yeah, doesn't seem it'll be "boo'd off". Any time soon.

You were. It's an artificial division. Time is time. I'm not sure why time spent having fun in a game should be considered more meritorious than time spent working.

That doesn't really change it.

This is a honest to god question, no shade. . . . Based to your latest reply to me, are you saying that having shorter play-time, but substituting it with longer/equal irl time working, should be one of this systems perks? (Since time flows at the same speed whether you're working or playing, as you've said). Honestly curious if I got it right :/

they are opposing gil buying in general, people enjoy investing time into playing a mmo and don't like seeing someone else in same gears or position in a game cause he payed. but in general they can just buy it from rmt out of game, but making it even easier for everyone in game is worse. it becomes pay to win. it becomes SE selling tons of things even if just cosmetic threw this system like gw2. i'm not paying a monthly fee to deal with these types of things.
