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

[Stigmar]

Its kind of like trickle down economics Selling this PLEX thing to spread the gil around right? But seriously it almost a risky gamble assuming this PLEX thing was unlimited to buy essentially it could make very little gil if everyone jumped on the bandwagon, however, if SE did make them limited they would be indirectly influencing the price and the economy because of the supply and demand assuming there is even a demand, I doubt they want to do that as its only just begun to get stable over here on my server.

I think it would also get complicated when you account for more days subbed = discount and Legacy discount and retainers. There is already issues with the time cards not taking any of that into account. There is someone making quite a profit off those somewhere.

If tons of people start buying PLEX to cash in, the price falls. As the price falls more people are willing to pay for it, and supply falls. If supply becomes low and demand remains high, the price rises.

Eventually the price will reach an equilibrium and will only marginally rise and fall from that point.

I don't know it just seems like a really bad idea to me your pretty much paying for a item to sell and a high price to avoid farming gil like we do now, but what would be the point, sure you could avoid all that spiritbonding for the materia you need for gear and weapons, buy the best crafting and gathering gear have the best melds etc. Then what you pretty much removed a good chunk of your game play and all you have left is raids and Roulettes and zeta grinds.

And besides many people with families and bills to pay don't have that kind of money to waste on a digital item to make fake money, should we really be making this a game where people with lots of real money should have the right to be lazy in game?

And this system would really lend them quite a hand, wouldn't it?
