Transfer Gil into Crysta

[Felis]

as far as the idea of furniture goes, that wouldnt be a bad idea for a gil sink. I think they said we will have houses in ARR, a small affordable type and a bigger more expensive type.. being able to further customize the home by means of using gil would help create an even bigger gil sink. sinks are always good for the economy

For this we have carpenters

that won't create a sink though, was just pointing out how that would be an easy sink without effecting others.. as far as I know only you can go into your house

Cash shop here i come!

Look... if it is cosmetic only then I have no problem with it. They will also need to be U/U.
Change your hair tokens, chocobo themed ballerina skirt with crap stats, sparkley fish tank for furniture where i can go buy a Ala fighting fish from the LL NPC and drop it in, all ok.

I am not ok with being able to purchase any items that will help your advancement in the game in any way or form nor am I ok with being able to convert Gil to Crysta or sell Crysta for Gil.

Anyway, not everyone can actually purchase Crysta in case you were unaware, so the whole issue is a moot point till that changes.

A long time ago in a land far away there was Vana'diel.

Vana'diel didn't support user created add-ons but did this stop anybody?

It didn't.

Eorzea however now supports user created add-ons, giving power back to the player. Enix are unable to prevent the use of add-ons illegally so instead of spending a large amount of time and resources fighting it they have embraced it like many other businesses lately. Managing the content themselves allows them to enforce guidelines and decide what it is that is acceptable and is not. This benefits the players by bringing them closer together and preventing them from accessing dangerous and malicious material outside of the company's control!

Steam recently Greenlighted a community created version of Half Life. It's cooperation with fans like this that validates why Valve has so many loyal fans!

Whilst I don't like paying to achieve and people achieving what I have in a few clicks of a button takes away the value of my work however if Enix were to manage real money trading themselves then it would be done correctly and we wouldn't have the catastrophe that players encounter each and every day from RMT.

The problem with turning gil into crysta, and then back into game time to make more gil, is that the cycle does not give SE any profit or even cover the maintenance costs for the servers. The only way the cycle could benefit SE is if there were other ways to generate revenue from players that spend more time playing the game, such as from necessary microtransactions or in-game ads (which I'm sure you don't want).

NO, NO, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Just take one look at how the RMT system has completely ruined once elites franchises like Diablo into this pathetic loto systems COMPLETELY CENTERED on the auction house and generating money for the gaming company (i.e., Blizzard).

I will leave this game in a heart beat if RMT works its way into it.

Are you confusing micro transaction with real money trade? RMT is already here, has been for a long time.. when people sell shit for 10 mil+, people will pay real cash for thier 10 mil.. would rather that cash go to the developers than some ilegal gil pedalar probably paying people cheap wages to farm it all day for him

RMT by others is here on a minor scale. If SE were to condone it and launch it themselves the game will become centralized around it, like D3 is.
