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

[Abriael]

So when wealthier people can instantly have the most gil simply because they can buy more "chronoscrolls" that's not a problem? It's ridiculous and unfair on every level, basically just because somebody's parents are well off a bunch of spoiled children are going to be walking around with triple/quadruple melds.

Aside from the fact that the number of buyable scrolls in a period of time can be limited to avoid abuse, like in TERA, I'm very curious to hear how exactly someone else having a lot of gil or more melds affects your enjoyment of the game.

The current system works fine, just because a few people want to find a way to play for free doesn't mean SE should ruin this game before it's even relaunched.

LOL. "ruin the game". How overdramatic (and random).

The current system obviously doesn't work that fine, looking at how straight up pay to play games are bleeding like wounded deers.

This gives the game a better chance to stay pay but still compete against the allure of F2P games.

Edit: if you think it won't drive up inflation you're mistaken, it's not that gil is added it's that gil becomes concentrated, if I suddenly have a billion gil and want to x4 meld gear then I could buy everything up and suddenly none of the normal players can afford the gear.

Again, purchase can be limited. It's been done. Besides, I advise you study a bit of economy. While someone's purchase power increases, someone else's decreases. The total effect is the same = No inflation.

It's no different than buying gil, since you can buy as many of these scrolls yourself with no intention of using them yourself. People pay money to get an advantage. It's sanctioned RMT.

You're assuming that you can buy unlimited scrolls. Which you can't.

When somebody has things they didn't earn it affects others, basically a high powered piece of gear is like a trophy. You work your ass off and eventually you earn this trophy, if somebody who hasn't done a bit of work can obtain something that you worked hard for, and can obtain it easier than you, it not only makes your trophy worthless it spits in your face.

and you didn't know games could be ruined? Look at what happened to XI


And even IF they limited purchases there's no way to stop the abuse, all a wealthy person would have to do is buy multiple accounts. Hell if I was a millionaire I wouldn't mind buying 10 accounts. There is no way to stop the abuse.
