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

This is exactly what I've been saying would happen. Inflation. There is solid evidence right there in a game that implemented such a system that inflation would go poorly.Simple items shot up in price for no other reason than too many people now had a lot of money. People need to pay attention to these examples and how bad the side effects are. It isn't just about people getting free accounts, or stopping RMT. There ARE other effects on the game that can very easily be very negative. How long before buying the RMT cash becomes required just to stay competitive in the market???

Lol, that item dropped to 7m in value. Fast. Inflation did not last long and other than the people that manipulated prices at the GE when free trade was remove, it hasn't been anywhere as bad since. Quit fear mongering.

Inflation is a very valid concern and even you say "it hasn't been anywhere near as bad since' meaning IT DIDN'T GO AWAY. So it's perfectly valid. Please don't deprecate my concerns just because you don't agree. It's not fear mongering to talk about details that clearly did and continue to happen. It's called reality.
