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

[Tiggy]

SE straight out came forward and said (with their actions, if not words) that buying gil with real money via rings was entirely legit and they would do nothing to penalize the people who chose to engage in that activity. This is a fact that you really don't seem to be fond of.

Lol what? No they didn't. They specifically asked players not to do it and that they didn't want them to do it.

Pay 2 Win at what? Coil? Crafting? Gearing?

Are you completely unaware of what people in this thread have been asking for that I have to explain it to you? I'm sorry if you're this many pages deep and you don't even understand the kind of trade goods they have been arguing on about for pages then that's on you. I'm not going to be a book report.

Also, that quote you dropped of mine doesn't prove your point in the slightest. Stop trying to distract the point of the discussion with straw men that have nothing to do with it. I'm not going to argue the merits of any individual purchases using plex like tokens in game. That's not the point of this thread. That has more to do with game balance than plex and you damn well know it. You could theoretically buy anything in the game with the gil you gain by trading tokens. That's a deeply personal issue to each player and his goals.
