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

Whatever kid...

Really? "Kid"? Based on that rather immature attempt to belittle me via the insinuation that I am a child I am going to assume I am not the younger of the two of us nor the least mature. Either way we have Yoshi backing up what we have been saying in opposition to the claims by others that SE will be implementing this P2W type system described by the OP on top of SE backing up our position through their actions and own words in matters of P2W services like the one described here. The premise and most of the discussions within this thread are now moot, as such I am now going to bow out of this thread as nothing more needs to be said here leaving the rest of you to argue about it.

I can't help but laugh at the suggestion Yoshi-P has no control over this at all. What makes you guys think his quote doesn't already reflect the internal business decisions anyway? You think he just made that statement flippantly? He had statistics. They obviously did their homework. Really grasping at straws guys.

He's the spokesperson for the game. He's the figurehead and I'm sure he has better knowledge of what the higher ups have in mind than ANY of us here on the forums. When he laughs at changing their subscription model when %80+ of his playerbase is content with what we have, I feel as you do Tiggy, reassured.

If people actually want a better thermometer to gauge the financial direction of FFXIV, just look at FFXI, its 10+ years old and STILL going on a sub model with less than half the playerbase as FFXIV. When they change their model, I might start to raise an eyebrow. Might...
