Actually, you are wrong, as I had never heard of this system before this thread and I'm convinced it's an excellent idea. I do think it would be better if it was done as crysta rather than a scroll, since as others have pointed out, legacy members will have a lower price to pay for a monthly subscription.

As far as traps in trading goes, FFXIV has systems in place where you shouldn't have to worry too much about being jyped of your scroll from a trading scam. Just buy your scrolls from a person's bazaar or off the auction house.

At any rate, I agree that this would put a serious dent in RMT activity. Those with extra cash have their outlet for "buying gil", so to speak, without having to resort to middlemen using hacks and shady practices that harm other players directly and indirectly. (via NM stealing/farming profitable normal mob camps 24/7, npcing tons of items or doing repeatable leves for cash that causes inflation). Those with extra gil to burn can save RL money by buying said crysta for another month of game time. SE doesn't lose any money from subscriptions, as at the worst, some wealthier individuals pay for other people's subscriptions. More likely, there would even be a minor surplus of scrolls compared to buyers, which means they make a small revenue increase.

It would also stimulate the economy by encouraging cash flow from those who are super rich and tend to horde their gil, to those who are in desperate need of gil and are going to spend it all on goods and services.

As far as i can tell, it's an extremely well thought out system, and kudos to the original MMORPG that thought of it.
