Why no Plex system?

[Snow_Princess]

You do realize that Balmung had a FAR FAR larger population than it does now? at the best days prior to SB dropping, you still had queue times of hundreds of people. Now the highest queue i've seen is 30 people during prime time.Balmung congestion was caused by being Balmung. The server had such a heavy load on it already that anything that sparked peoples interest would bring hundreds of players online because of the allure of whatever it was. Most of those people aren't on the server anymore.. We're still full, but no where near what we were.

That being said, the game could use a lot more gil sinks, useful gil sinks; but this isn't an either/or situation. There can be multiple solutions to the problem that the game faces.. more gil sinks AND a plex system can work in tandem to spread existing gil out, reduce the likely-hood of people buying from gil sellers and then taking gil out of the system via gil sinks.

Can't do both at once. You would either have to give huge amounts of gil sinks that appear to the rich, while having some appeal to those that have less and wait for like a year?
Or if you want instant fix, you have to remove 75% of the gil and really tick people off.

It would be hard as af to fix at this point. If SE ever wanted a challenge this would be it. Making this mess into a stable and active econ without making most people mad be a huge achievement.

Also are you kidding me on the queue times? Even without change on the current pace of things it would be 5-10x worse when the new housing is released and if this system was to be released say 1 week or more before housing? you be seein queues like you did ending SB early release. Also balmung's queue times is off my point but SE made balmung's queue times bad for 2 reasons. 1. not having an official named rp server (2-3) and 2. not taking earlier actions to attempt to control the population growth. The current state of balmung is is what happens when you ignore problems/warning signs.
