Why no Plex system?

[Snow_Princess]

Let me ask you then, don't you think a large scale crisis in the economy, lamented by almost ALL players would spur the devs to do something about it even faster than 3 months of posts in the forums? Do you think that if your "destroyed economy" happened they would just shrug and give up the game to the chaos?

Nope:

Also the housing problem exists that they are unable to fix, so for now because of that, doubt they would be able to. (Housing shortage exists because of too low supply for the prices they give, so they got to hike the cost, or the supply. Given the track record to solve housing issues

what makes you think they can handle econ crises that may come out of introducing the plex system here? or comment on an issue with 200+ likes?) I would venture a guess it is why it is not in place, because they know how bad the econ is. They know enough that it will not work here. If they can't fix the econ without a flex system, with having the housing shortage, how in the heck would they be able fix it with one? O_o

But if you insist in giving more econ power to people like me I am all for it, hurt most of the people in the game long term effect, so just be careful what ya wish for. I do find it odd how you can't give econ arguments back in why it can support it or not. Keep in mind I am not the only one that basically said gil is worthless so making this plex system isn't a good idea:

The only reason I'm against this is because gil is not a necessity, especially if you don't craft or gather. The average Joe player does not really need bags of gold to sustain themselves. The vast majority of battle content means you aren't using gil for anything but teleporting and repairing. Hell, the game even offers you materia on a plate.

It's a good idea to combat botting and unsanctioned RMT, but the sort of people who would benefit from this... don't really seem to need it in the first place.
