Why no Plex system?

[Snow_Princess]

Your reasoning: I cannot quote exact numbers to show the economy can support it so I'm wrong. Someone else said gil is worthless, so I'm wrong.
People have also said: Mogstation is bad. Royal Menagerie is too hard. Housing is fine how it is. Savage raids are too easy(and too hard). People say stuff a lot on this forum. All of these comments have likes and support.

You're saying that if PLEX is introduced, the piles of gil that people like you have hoarded will hit the economy and destroy it right? My stance is you cannot know that. We are a vocal minority here, almost every argument made here doesn't represent the majority of players.

What giant power do you think you'll have over the economy if PLEX is released? You'll buy a whole bunch of PLEX cheap when it comes out because the value wont be really known yet to players, then when it rises you'll sell them all for a huge profit and.. what? Now you have the lions share of the "worthless" gil to do what? Prices will inflate, people will sell items at these new "inflated" prices and things will have about the same value to everyone. New players will get their gear from quests and dungeons, Old players will have things to sell at new ridiculous prices and be able to afford the new ridiculous prices.
This is what I've always seen happen with currency infusions.

No, I am saying people go to crazier means for housing then now, and the plex system would enable that. I explained before how it can spiral out of control that you conveniently ignored. I feel like I am the only one that knows what lengths people go for to get a house now @_@

Fix the econ first, then they can worry about this.


My reasoning is this simply, You can't show understanding of the econ problems of this game, so you can't give a good argument in why it would be ok to release plex in this mess. I tried several times to explain the different problems, and you keep going off my points (I do not know if it is intentionally to red haring, or you truly misunderstanding)

You are missing a big factor, in theory yes it should balance, but the severe limit on housing average changes that completely and makes things more complex.

Housing shortage isn't relevant. Stop conflating the two issues.

Housing is the only thing people spend gil on that is truly significant, and the only thing that has any kind of impact at attempt on a gil sink. The demand is crazy high for the supply, making the focus on that. I watch the novice channel talk about housing a lot how someone has some goal to save up for x house and some people put new comers down with such goals, so much so I have to send private tells how money is made and it does not matter if they just started.
