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

You're stating each of your opinions as facts and they're not and that makes them lies.


on point 1, basically dude if somebody can't afford 10$ a month they have no business playing ANY game. My utilities alone are probably over 500 a month, at least 200 a week on food, if people are so strapped for cash they can't afford 10 bucks they shouldn't be playing any game at all.

To even play this game at launch you needed a 1k+ PC 10 bucks is laughable

I for one refuse to pay for other people to play


on point 2, in this system people who aren't using normal methods are making the most money. Playtime would be highly valuable, people who sell it would be richer than the people making money through normal methods. Sure I would still have my methods but they wouldn't make as much anymore.

And there is no way to limit it, if they limit it by account then people will just buy more accounts. If they limit it by credit cards people will just use different cards.


And RMT has been basically nonexistant in this game... I believe you were the one earlier that said the worst thing about RMT is that they get in the way of content or cause other people to have a less enjoyable experience...
that doesn't happen in this game, i've only seen them doing leves.

and it's so easy to make money in this game anybody who actually buys gil is an idiot.

You are as well. Are you calling yourself a liar? Ah, hypocrisy...

That's not for you to decide.

You're not in the position to decide how other people manage their money.

That's great, because no one forces you to.

Nope. This is false. You'd be making exactly as much. Having some other people allegedly (because it's not a given) make more money than you doesn't reduce your earnings in any way.

What you're describing is simple, plain envy.

And there is no way to limit it, if they limit it by account then people will just buy more accounts. If they limit it by credit cards people will just use different cards.

So you're assuming that a large number of people (because just a few wouldn't even budge the economy, you need big numbers to move it) will go as far as buying several accounts and getting several credit cards to game the system? By that logic you can easily assume that people can hire someone to craft for them 24/7 making them millions of gils without moving a finger.

So you've seen them, but they don't exist? Interesting concept.

They do leves because that allows them to *CREATE* gil from nothing. Every multiboxed account that they use multiplies that money they create.

That's all gil that get created by the system and injected into the market, causing inflation. And the market in FFXIV Is *horribly* inflated.

Those groups of lalafells that look the same and have weird names that you see scampering around doing guildleves are the FFXIV equivalent of a state printing too much money and reducing the value of money itself in the process.

It affects *everyone*, even if you just see them while doing guildleves.

Imagine a player who has achieved everything he ever wanted to achive in this game. Why should he keep paying 10$ a month, although theres nothing that he wants to achieve anymore? In WoW, people just unsubbed. Don't call me out on the social aspect, i know it exists and it kept me playing. Others might just stick to voice comms and unsub.

Now, imagine this veteran player would be able to spend his enormous amounts of gil to pay for his sub. There's nothing interesting to spend money on anymore, anyway. Wham, a veteran stays, other benefit from his knowledge. He may spend some time with new players or just enjoy to help out some pickups.

That player would be gone otherwise. He found a "magical" way to stay. And SE is still earning money from this player's sub, even though he doesn't spend a single buck on it.

Don't you like this idea?
