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

[Tiggy]

Fraud risk is due to the fact that there's no sanctioned exchange for gil > $$ and back. This means there needs to be trust between parties in terms of getting goods for money paid. This creates the fraud risk. There would be no fraud risk with a PLEX market at all since you would get what you pay for via the in game market.

Or people can refrain from breaking the ToS and not buy gil for money at all. Zero risk of fraud. Was the crux of your point really based on blatantly breaking the rules?

Don't be obtuse. It's no secret that SE pays very close attention to what WoW does, with good reason.

You DO realize I was the one that brought that article to this thread. That I was the one that quoted it. That it contained details specifically citing studies of what other MMOs do. OBVIOUSLY I know they look at other games. I'm the obtuse one. Lol.

I think it's more of a joke to think that WoW would actually consider going f2p in the semi near future.

Literally was the joke.
