It's time to reevaluate the idea of adding a PLEX/Chronoscroll-like system to FFXIV

nevermind.

If players can convert a cash shop item into Gil, it gets a huge no vote from me.

No legalized rmt. Bad enough they have a cash shop already.

The arguments of it helping people who cannot afford the game. It is <50 cents a day... if you cannot afford that, well not to be mean, but you should be focusing on other priorities in life over a game. (to put it perspective... it cost you more to drive 7 miles a day then it does to play FFXIV, at least in most parts of the US)

Also, with some of the people on here saying "well if you can't afford to pay the subscription", or "its only 14.99-50 cents a day", etc....everybody's situation is different, but that doesn't mean that they can't have the same type of fun and enjoy themselves like others. People spend their time like they want and their money. We shouldn't judge people based on things like that. And once again, you people saying things like that...you need people to subscribe to the game to keep the game running. If all of a sudden people who had better things to spend their money on stopped subscribing, about half if not more of the subs in this game would be gone.

Now based on that...Since you have the people that have apparently lots of free time to put into the game amassing alot of gil, I think this idea might have some merit. People that are sitting on millions of gil because they were able to put so much more time into the game should be rewarded by being able to use said gil to play for free, while the gil they use to play for free is being used by people who don't have the time to amass the amount of gil they need to enjoy the game. Its a Win-win and I think its like paying a homage to you gamers that play hard, us gamers that can't play as hard as you are gonna pay for your subs. Whats wrong with that? Its not pay to win. What would you rather have? Most of you guys already play this game like its a job....you might as well get paid like its a job.

The exodus as a result of implementing legitimized RMT comes to mind. I will be among the many.

This argument kinda reminds me of how people were up in arms about Colorado legalizing marijuana and all of the arguments that it would increase drug use, crime, poverty, etc. And the stats have not shown an increase in any of those things. People hate change.

That was an awful comparison and you should feel bad for making it.

Why is it an awful comparison? because its about a drug? The comparison is how people were in an uproar about it because they didn't like it, and to push their opinion, they stated facts that weren't true and spouted assumptions based more on how they felt more so than actual data. And now, you don't hear anything about it.

Because it doesn't even remotely relate to video games at all, nor is it a "Well it worked there so obviously it can work here!" magical fix.

Im not saying the solution. Im saying this argument, the argument itself, its similar in how its playing out like the argument in CO. The way people are arguing, thats what I meant by the comparison.

How many ways can I say no to this?

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
