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

[Zumi]

I saw on Gamespot Blizzard is now doing it so that's like FFXIV is pretty much the only sub mmo that is not doing it. I would welcome this system it gets rid of rmt more or less. You have the possibility of saving RL money.

How would it stop RMT?

it gets rid of rmt more or less.

This simply isn't true, I've played several games with this type of system and they all still have RMT spam and there are still RMT selling currency. They simply sell it for less than you can buy it from other players using the provided legitimate method. Based on the prices currently being sent to me via tell all the time I doubt the RMT would even need to change their practice or their prices very much at all.

It's very clearly not Pay-to-Win any more than is already possible in the game.

You're entitled to your opinion but in my opinion the ability to purchase in game currency legitimately is pay-to-win, period. You can sugar coat it all you want but you're trading real money for in game rewards. At the end of the day people who have less real money are at a disadvantage compared to people with a lot of it.

The way it should be! You want those filthy poor people with nothing but extra time on their hands to have the advantage?

Now where's my monocle?!
