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

[Aenarion]

It may work well for other games, but it won't work well in FFXIV for many reasons. One is, SE need the funds from the subscriptions at the game's launch to float happily and be able to pay costs. After such a terrible start with v1, I don't know how anyone can not realise the significant importance of this fact. They lost a lot of money and need to recoup costs, get subscription numbers up and drum up interest for new players. You might argue they'd get the funds eventually, but until all the transactions are sorted out ... the money technically doesn't exist. "Free" subscription fees certainly don't help here either.

Huh? you're not making sense here. The PLEX system does not REPLACE subs, it exists in tandem WITH subs. PLEX doesn't create "free" subscriptions that the devs have to deal with, it is actually exactly the reverse - the PLEX system gives the dev money for subscriptions that doesn't even exist yet, as a PLEX is in effect a promissory note guaranteeing future service.

This right here tells me you actually have no idea how the system functions even on a basic level.

After seeing the debacle with Atomos gil-hoarding and selling what is effectively a win on certain fights (Garuda, Rivenroad - Hard), I have no desire to see these people earn even more gil and certainly not real-life money.

Huh? The PLEX system does NOT allow conversion of gil into RL money, so how will those players earn RL money through the PLEX system?

Oh right, they can't

Again, you show a complete lack of understanding of the system.

You've all seen how an over-saturation of gil raises prices in general, because sellers start to get greedy and the rich are too rich to care.

Except a PLEX system doesn't saturate gil, as it doesn't create a single gil - yes, the PLEX system injects less currency into the in-game economy than if you go out and killed a lv.10 human mob.

I'd drop the line about you having no clue about the system here, but it's starting to get repetitive.

we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Of course, except one side has logical reasoning, while the other side is doing nothing more than "LALALALALA I can't hear you lolololol"

Not saying FF14 will or even should use the PLEX system, but if you're going to debate the issue, at least understand what you're debating against.
