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

[ShivenCasull]

Chronoscrolls/PLEX do favor people with a disposable income, but it also makes it so people without a disposable income can theoretically play for "free/gil". It has worked in other games... perhaps a limit on how many Sub Replacement Items one can buy per 30 days... eliminate normal subs, cap it at 4, so Buyer uses one for himself and has 3 to sell.

It's kinda like speculating on Gil Futures, $9.99USD = ?? Gil.

The big thing is, you cannot make IRL money with PLEX. In the case of PLEX the only money going into the system is for an in game item. You can't turn around and sell your PLEX for $15 (at least, not legally) The real money is given to the game company and elminates middle-man RMTs.

It turns the completely negative RMT into a monitored/protected transaction. (Square Enix isn't going to sell your gear for gil)

Edit: This is a great way of looking at it.

People were, are and will always be RMTing.
RMTing is like a Drug.
Don't ban it.
Legalise it, regulate it, tax it.
