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

[Snugglebutt]

They should never, ever use such P2W systems like PLEX which can give people a large advantage in game in terms of in game money aka Gil in this one. Systems where people can make vast amounts of Gil in game for the selling of items like PLEX bought with RL money is P2W.

In every single MMO I have played that has used such systems it led to a ruined in game economy. The only exception is (potentially Eve) but Eve's economy is not similar to this one, the two are not alike and what works for Eve will not work for this one. SE I think has had and continues to have the same ideology as most other people against the suggestion presented here because it is P2W, hence why their cash shop only sells vanity items that cannot be sold or traded in game.

If they implemented a PLEX style system I would quit playing as would a large amount of other people as represented in any thread where such P2W systems are discussed and was partially the reason for the huge uproar on here when the cash shop was announced, thankfully they kept and continue to keep cash shop items limited to vanity pieces with no ability to trade or sell other than to potentially an NPC which will give a microscopic amount of Gil for such items.
