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

[Nicobo]

...The back and forth discussion in the prior thread got heated until the inestimable Yoshi-P chimed in with the following (on November 6, 2012)...

I agree with YoshiP, this is an interesting idea.
Btw, I heard that China version of FFXIV is paid by logon time, something like 1USD for 3000min, should I consider it as P2W?

add comment:
Forget to mention that I agree with OP's points as well.
But I believe after their re-evaluatiion, it still would not happen.
One of the reasons is that SE has increased GIL given from the system previously and it did not comply with this suggestion ^^;
