Why no Plex system?

[Snow_Princess]

I would love a Plex-like system. Games I've seen this work marvelously in include the aforementioned Eve, TERA, Rift, WildStar, WoW, Guild Wars 2, ArcheAge... probably more that I don't know about. Rift, GW2, and WoW also let you take your gold and convert it into cash shop currency, which means not only can you pay for your subscription if you want, you can buy other things off the shop as well.

It doesn't really hurt the economy at all.

Do any of those have a housing shortage? If not, then my point stands. It will cause problems and make the housing situation worse. Different game, different econ, just because those games know how make a good econ for it, does not mean this game can support it.

Stop "Chicken Littling".

I am not, I am answering a question:
Why no Plex system?
Answer:
The game's econ can't support it.

Also you are wrong about RMT. People have stockpiles of gil because there is NOTHING to do with it. This has been a problem since 2.0 (1.0 had different problems but at least it had a more active econ) So there are people like me that craft just because they like to, not many do. Personality differences, all it is.
