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

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?

I replied to someone who said PLEX could be a source of fraud. They linked an article about how RMT can lead to fraud lawsuits which involve the company in the middle of them. I pointed out why neither that article nor fraud lawsuits apply to PLEX. PLEX will not cause fraud lawsuits that could entangle SE. The end.

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.

Literally was the joke.

The other part of the joke is an acknowledgment of the fact that SE leans really heavily on WoW for design ideas. This is contrary to the rest of the article about how SE doesn't need to necessarily follow in the footsteps of other, non-wow MMOs.

You saying it's just a joke tells me you don't think that SE will do something just because WoW does it.

This game is a lot like WoW, cash shop and all. There isn't a lot of secret about that. If PLEX works out in WoW, do I think PLEX is going to be on the table for FFXIV? absolutely. Do I think that it will be specifically because it's WoW who did it? Yes. And I think you're obtuse if you think otherwise.
