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

[Tiggy]

Wait, what exactly do I have to prove?
My point here is really, really simple: There's nothing inherently wrong with giving people with less free time the opportunity for them to participate in content they're denied of (housing, crafting). And I'm calling out those elitists who think are entitled to their exclusivity just because they spent more time playing.

Why does that need "proving"?

Because, and there are pages of this now. People disagree with you. I know. It's tough to see that since you don't appear to read each post carefully.

Also, since it's you pushing the idea the burden of proof falls on you to justify it.

The philosophical burden of proof or onus (probandi) is the obligation on a party in an epistemic dispute to provide sufficient warrant for their position.

Simply put if you aren't going to try and prove it then you've said enough. You spoke your opinion. We all heard it. If you aren't actually furthering the conversation other than restating your same opinion repeatedly with no further proof then you literally are not helping to further the conversation. You're just restating opinion over and over and over again. Without more facts or evidence to add to the discussion we you don't need to say your opinion again. Ever. We got it the first dozen times.

This right here would be fine if that was all you were saying, but it hasn't been for this entire thread. Don't try to retcon all your posts now with some broader argument about accessibility that barely applies here. You're just putting this statement up as some strawman to be knocked down so that you can try to call people elitists for knocking it down. This thread is about a PLEX system and EVERYTHING that means for the game. Not just that jimmy-to-broke-to-play can finally log in. Focus up and focus your message.

Well he kinda have a point as with 80 selling slots you have the potential to crash sertain item prices with mass flooding, when undercutting war starts buy everything then withdraw your flood items and skyrocket prices again.

You still have to be able to supply the items to even sell. Meaning you had to farm them first. Those 80 slots didn't farm the goods which is the real money.

This might not work when doing alone but if you have a "cartel" then its alot easier.

How would that be any different than even if we only had 2 retainers? Many players working in concert would still be a problem since you'd have 40 slots for each person in the cartel, and you'd still have to farm up enough items to even fill that many slots.

I'm sorry but this hardly convinces me that retainers make people rich. They made themselves rich through their own actions Having 80 slots vs 40 didn't farm up all that loot.
