Token System/Subscription

[Aldora]

Similar to another famous MMO. These tokens will be purchased via Mog Station for a full months game time $14.99 or equal to of other countries currencies. Allowing people with real life financial issues to support their game time by playing the game or those having extra money to help support their in game currency issues.

These tokens will be sold or bought from the MB to add game time to a players subscription time using in game currency.
This would cut down on the active RMT system we are currently having issues with.

I'm sure this may have been brought up already but i do not see a Suggestions post on the forum so i figured this would be a good place to put it.

This subject has been discussed several times in the past and every single one of them became quite heated at that. The main issue people have with this is the mindset behind it.

One person says that that people will be able to buy game time with an in-game currency, so that they don't have to pay the subscription fee due to real life financial issues. Another person says that (s)he has so much in-game money, that they save spend it on buying game time through the market boards and save money. And finally another person says it's to battle RMT, by "legalizing" it through a token system like "Chronosphere/Plex/WoWTokens/etc".

If you want to read more about these discussions, i'd suggest reading what people had to say about it in this thread (545 posts long):

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

I've said all i wanted to say about a Token system like this within that thread, but what i would like to highlight from that discussion is this:

I’m all for the opportunity to gift game time to friends or family, but not like this [buying it with real money and then selling it on a market board for in-game currency]. If you want to gift game time, either buy a game time card for them, or have the ability to purchase game time through the Mog station, which then can be sent directly to the SE account of person you want it to be sent. The person would then receive either a real life e-mail saying that their game time has been extended for the amount which has been paid for, or the person would receive an untradeable and unsellable item in the Moogle Mail box which will extend their game time upon use.
