There are many alternatives, they won't be Final Fantasy though.
What an elitist statement. But ultimately not very realistic.

With this system people that would pay their account with gil would still work for it. Just in a different way (gathering gil). By paying gil to those selling the chronoscroll/PLEX item, they provide the motivation for them to give more money to the developers, rather directly helping put food on the tables of the developers who work their asses off.

Also, as an episode of extra credits very aptly stated, even players who don't directly pay are a resource for developers, as they *are* by all means and purpose *content* that helps keeping the game crowded and lively, making it more attractive.

For someone so worried about helping put food on the tables of the families of the developers who work their asses off, you're very quick at dismissing a method that would help retaining subscribers, which equates to putting food on the tables of the families of the developers who work their asses off.
