Why no Plex system?

[Snow_Princess]

For those unfamiliar, the "Plex" system is one where players can buy a month of game time from the MMO developer that they can then sell for in game currency.

No actual new in-game currency is generated. It's just players with more time and less real money selling in-game money to players who have more money but less time to play, and it goes a long way toward curbing RMT because most players would rather go with a safe transaction instead of risking being banned for buying gil.

Have the devs commented on possibly adding it to the game, especially now that jump potions are here?

Most likely because they know they can't make a good econ and the top crafters on every server will have perma free subs.

Maybe I dont see it but that means no money goes to the game and the company. Gil is so damn easy to get in this game even as a non crafter/gatherer

This is the effect of having everything handed to you, there is no need for the main in game currency. Because of that, the only use for gil now would be to get free sub and I do not see that having good results.

If FFXIV had a good encon, maybe it could work, but I suspect the dev team is aware of it and the reason why they don't.
