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

[Synestra]

That's the idea, it allows rich players in game to play for free and allows rich people out of game to prosper with no effort.

Well i would still pay my sub with my own RL money but i would also start to play tradeable sub markets to make even more in-game currency, because money making is one of the funniest "mini-games" in MMO's imo.
