Why no Plex system?

[Krotoan]

You are wrong, I did not ignore that point:

nothing you said here says anything about how purchasing gear for gil is not a timegated thing and therefore timegated progression is not affected by direct money-gil conversion. I'm not implying people are buying gil with real money and buying gear, I'm saying that people who put in time to farm gil at their own pace are already to unrestricted buy better gear on their own schedule. I might be sounding repetitive but I cannot think of another way to express this.

For "ILLEGAL RMT's" why are you against it? do you even know why it is a violation and the logic behind it?

again: Illegal RMT funds bots, spammers and creates incentive for flooding of our economy from those bots who don't have to sleep or rest. All of those affect me negatively and therefore I am against it.
SE likely is against it because it uses their resources to create money for someone else, which is a bad position for any company and loses them subscribers who don't want to deal with said bots/spammers and distantly since we have games of chance in within the mechanic of this game there could be problems with actual legal gambling regulations if gil can be converted back to money (which Dev driven RMT cannot be).

In the end of the day there is not enough things to buy to warrant it. All it would do is make the housing situation worse, trying to bride people in seeing houses for 400-1000 dollar sub times. You NEED to fix the games encon before you put this system in. Do you even realize how much gil is being horded?

Just because you do not value your gil, doesn't mean others also don't. I will agree the ILLEGAL HOUSE FLIPPING market will get ridiculous. But those can be reported or , more hopefully, SE has a plan to make housing more available.
I have no doubt people have up to their max characters on the servers, each with both retainers stuffed to the gills with... Gil. That's on them. Once the gil gets redistributed to people who will actually spend it? it may be chaotic for a while but it will be balanced eventually.. or SE will be FORCED to deal with it. I have no problem with either situation.

Wrong, there is a housing shortage where a system like this would wreak havoc on. As far as I know this situation does not exist in any other MNO. People buy ... well i know back in the day I rejected an offer for to sell a large, wanting more then 100 M in an unfavorable location. I do not know the amount, but I did file a report for them asking too much. But I would venture a guess some houses sell for 200-400 M on other websites. What you think will happen when you throw in legal RMT in the mix of a really bad shortage like that? There are people that have an insane amount of gil stockpiles, and what do you think will happen if you put that in circulation?

FFXI is proof what happens when you release flood gates, ever hear of the story of a a gil sale one christmas? It would be much worse here because of the housing shortage. You know.. something that is so unstable people buy them at 100-400 M at times? without RMT involvement.

People can toss around their Gil how they like, I'll still be able to hunt/venture for my mats and sell them at the new "ridiculous" prices and get my piece of the crazyness. A house coming off of a demo timer won't be any more expensive (which is the current SE condoned method of acquiring a house) and anyone trying to flip them for even more money is subject to GM action (or once again.. maybe SE will actually do something if it becomes an epidemic, or MORE of an epidemic for those of you who will scream it already is).
