Money is money and a company doesn't care who's doing the giving and how much, as long as it's "more". As I've said, there's no guarantee that PLEX will work for XIV but I think there's plenty of data and experience out there to suggest that it's worth a try.

I also don't think there's a necessary correlation between users of this system and "hardcore"-ness. One of the best players I know (no longer active) has bought a TON of gil (he claims it's in the $1000s range) in this game as a way to quickly bypass the hamlet and relic double-meld portions of the relic quest. I don't condone his patronage of economy-busting RMT but I can't deny that he's an incredibly knowledgable and skilled player. Just because one player does or doesn't pay $10 a month has no bearing on skill or dedication.
i don't think gil in the thousands range would get anyone to far, he should have just did one leve.
