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

So... because I asked which side he would be on of the system he is fighting so hard to sell people on, and what in game price he would pay for it... I attacked him? Ok. I think it was a valid question, and I'm not sorry.

I'll ask everyone here that is in favor of this system: If you were going to buy this item, how much would you be willing to pay for it, in game? If you're going to sell it, what is your $10/$15 worth to you in gil?

I don't know. When I played Tera, my friends said the price was usually 1500 gold. The most I saw it jump in my short play time is 1800 gold. So 1500 gold = 15 dollars I guess. Hope that answers your question.

That's pretty much the same as it is now.

Not really. I didn't play Tera, so I don't know if 1500 gold = 10k or 1m in a comparison to gil in our current economy

It's obvious that it'll be up to the players to decide if 1500 gold is enough or if they want to pay 1800 that month to continue playing. Yes you don't know, and continue to comment from an "I don't know" point of view. We call that ignorance. You rejected my answer and that's ok. I hope you find what you're looking for.

Jerk.

Hey, the question was: if this system was implemented, how much GIL (FFXIV currency) would your 10-15 dollars be worth.
You replied with the currency of a game they didn't play. Obviously this person is going to be ignorant of the currency/value of an MMO they didn't play. Get real, and keep it classy.

I commented on something I had actual knowledge of. They are clearly looking for clarity in a system that isn't implemented in FFXIV (Very reasonable). I just posted while you were commenting making your last comment moot. Using Tera's 1500 gold, I equated it to 150k gil. They could just as easily done they same if that was the true intent of their question. I have no time to indulge people and their fake smile emotes when they continue to comment on things they have little understanding and continued unwillingness to do so.

Actually the question was asked to me, and I did reply here in gil as requested.

And was promptly ignored.

To be completely honest, there's no way to accurately predict how much PLEX might sell for on XIV's market wards. Imagine you invented the light bulb. How much would you sell it for? You can use the price of parts and manufacturing to estimate the cost that people will pay for it, but you can't possibly guess the real market value of it. The same thing happens every time a company does an initial public offering (IPO). The company execs have some idea of how much their company is worth and so they set their initial share price at a certain amount. However, there's no way to accurately predict how the market will affect their share price. The reason free-market economy works is because prices are difficult to predict. If they were easy to predict, then everyone who knew how to do it would be insanely rich (think top .0000001%).
