I would not be a fan of this idea. for reasons already stated by other sound minds above me in this thread.....but at the same time, if our mighty lords at Square-Enix cannot elevate this game to expected heights, and this becomes an attractive alternative to help recoup their massive losses, can it really be a bad idea? i mean lets all take a deep drink of the Kool-Aid here and think about this carefully.

If Square-Enix gets desperate enough to implement anything even remotely similar to this outlandish idea, can it be bad?
No....no, it would be glorious! it would help all those poor noobies just beginning thier grand adventure i say! and put those dastardly illegal gil sellers out of business! what bliss! no more cloned zombie hordes roaming the hills, just mindless lazy clueless noobies decked out in the most powerful gear their mommy's credit card can buy!

How can this be a bad thing? HOW!
