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

I played Eve for years and don't ever recall seeing ISK spammers. RMT is a big no-no and will get your account banned. If they are there they work very quietly.

In this game, it's pretty horrible. The farmers need to be put out of business, and the best way to do that is to remove the need to use them. Or at least a way to permanently block them from chat. It's SO ANNOYING!

It's actually my only gripe with this game. Well, that and skin textures and lighting could use an update to stay competitive with the new mmos coming out. Characters still look really good though, and the world looks amazing

...By encouraging people to spend money for gil? Its a problem, let's cut out the eye to spite the face.

RMT is a problem because of people who want instant gratification, and are often willing to cheat to get what they want.
Legalizing RMT is a way to cheat without penalty.

How is this good again?

I wouldn't prefer "cash shop gil" because I like a game with a dynamic player-run economy, but they really need to do something about the gil sellers.

Considering the degree of customization and character building that exists in the game, some might argue EVE is more of an RPG than FFXIV.

Because of more customization? What does that have to do with RPGs and not thousands of other non- RPGs.

This is tangential to the topic, but whatever. I consider it an RPG if it features story-driven development of persistent characters via the making of consequential choices. But your opinion is different, great, let's move on.
