So what if people sell platinum and gold plans for gil?

[cookiecutter]

They were probably going to lock weddings behind a gil wall anyway if it weren't for the cash shop. By making the plan tradable anyone has enough access to wedding of their choice. So basically the new wedding plan can be treated similarily to new glamours pay "X" amount of gil to player to acquire that glamour if you don't have the capabilities of a master crafter. Also this allows players to set a market for how much they want to pay for these plans so could be relatively affordable depending on the economic situations. Even it isn't it gives you and your spouse something to grind toward to make it seem liked you earned having that platinum wedding. As long as people sell these plans in game, eternal bonding is accessible to all so there really isn't much reason to complain about it.

yeah right. since BUYING IN GAME currency is not pay to win. get a clue plz. it clearly is. the same crap happend on aion and now its full pay to win. pay to save yourself gil farming time is the same as pay to win. no difference to me.

People buy in game currency in this game anyway. Why do you think RMT people still spam to this day? It's because they're still making a profit out of it due to the people that continuously buy gil. At least this way SE can pocket the cash themselves instead of it going to a third party.

Are they tradable from user-to-user? I don't have anyone to test it out with at the moment but I can confirm they can't be sold on the market board, I guess.

I bought 1 of the platinum bands and was like "oh, not bad $20." I get the item in the mail and read the text... I need 2 of these? There's really small red text at the bottom of the page after going back to look, but wtf. It's so easy to go through the process of just buying one and having no idea. Then I read I can TRADE it? ... uh ... what? RMT in the game, awesome job SE. Cash shop was a great idea guys.

They're tradable so probably the best way to sell them is to put up a party finder.

How I think it works is it gives YOU the platinum plan when you get married. Your lover has to buy one if they want the platinum stuff too.

That....that is your way of justifying this?

[Adrian74]

Oh god, cool, just exactly what we needed...

*feeling already like second tier player*

P2W is starting.... If you have a lot of money IRL to spare, you'll also have a lot of gil there, crafting? Who cares about it?! Go and sell those new metallic dyes or platinum eternal bond sets!

More like it's SE's way to justifying this by putting it behind a paywall yet still making the items tradable. I don't have a problem with it either since it now gives you two different avenues of getting it if you so desire. I'd rather SE make more money than RMT people who would have profited off this since SE would have done it behind a gil wall or time wall otherwise. Before I hear comment about how they should have made it completely free at the get go, it should be noted that you need to reserve your ceremony. Can you imagine ridiculously booked it these ceremonies would be if everyone could get it immediately? You'd probably have to wait months if you didn't get there early. Also there would be server problems with how many people that wanted to book at the same time.
