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

[Lamentations]

[QUOTE=AlexionSkylark;2814592]OMG, you really believe there is so many people out there willing to shell out 100s of dollars just to become a game's real state speculator?

You haven't played many games, or weren't paying attention when you did. yea they will.

One of the worst decisions ive made was deciding to buy a $300.00 lifetime sub to STO before it went F2P, that doesn't today make me feel obligated to play it now and then but hey im a trekkie.

Right after they switched to F2P they introduced special exclusive ship models into lockboxes that were opened with keys one bought from the cash shop which can "also" be sold on the market.

Some people didn't spend 100s of $ on these keys they spent "1000s", it left a very bad taste in peoples mouths, and all of this revenue, didn't do shit for content for a looong time.

The devs for that game swore they would never do anything that could be called P2W in that game, they lied.

Again, Yea they will pony up the cash.

My 31 yr old son, who is our FC leader also plays STO on F2P basis only, if they ever did this here, he would quit instantly.

Not to worry however, I don't see SE ever doing this screwy idea.
