SE Please implement a Chonoscroll/PLEX system in FFXIV: ARR

So basically this is a way to convert real money into gil.

Nice try.

And what exactly would the problem be with that? Do tell.

The dollar isn't the currency of Eorzea.

That's not for you to decide.

Not everything about this idea is bad.
Some people just vehemently dislike the RMT/buying gil aspect of it.
Others also oppose the idea that some play for free while others can not, or want not.

To my surprise, not everyone who plays FFXIV feels that way. Kind of shocking, really.

The reason that RMT is discouraged from games is not for the economy, not because it gives players an "unfair advantage" but for one simple reason - the developers cannot get a slice of this cake, and the game they designed & produced is making other people money.

Um.. but the issue for players really is the unfair advantage; or at least other players playing outside of the rules.

I'm obviously a FF fanboy or whatever, but everything SE has done with XI and XIV doesn't lead me to believe that they'd ever find themselves envious of RMT. All their anti-RMT efforts always seem to me as valid attempts at protecting their customers and their content. That's how I feel.

Someone who thinks purchasing gil with real money is okay, isn't going to understand my passion against it. And I'm not going to suddenly understand their side of it either, I don't think. There's a cultural/philosophical barrier that isn't going to just vanish suddenly.

So debating the issue has proven ineffective. But it's still important for everyone to voice their opinion/concerns. (And not get insulted or mocked for it)
