Not at all. I just find you are very rude and abrasive.

The only way a reduction in gil will happen is if the demand is as such - seeing as you love quoting economics so much surely this idea is obvious. PLEX does nothing to the demand of gil - it just adds a new supplier. Because it forces gil sellers to be come more competitive demand of gil will likely raise not lower - though the profit per gil for the gil sellers will be less. Competition is great for the consumer - in this case the consumer is someone that buys gil for an in game advantage, promoting a pay to win system.

Without even mentioning that players are players. They run normal content, do dungeons, get drops, craft as part of their normal routines and so forth. A large percentage of people won't need to put themselves down to specifically farm the gold for their account, as they already have gil to spare, and generate it regularly. .
What ever demand is left after those who got their monthlys is still in the hands of RMT - its not going to magically disappear.

Safer practices for players is a good thing - but I dont want to play a game that lets players purchase advantage with their money (talking about direct advantage).

So long as the PLEX system accommodates the demand that the illegal RMTs filled. But the system hasn't gotten rid of RMT just made it safer.

I'd rather the system be dangerous and people get screwed over and banned then have SE or w.e company allow it and make it a safe practice.
