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.


I think the biggest and most pressing question is: What you do get/gain from a system like this. Why are you pushing so hard for this. Personally we dont need this kinda of system no matter what kind of reasons or excusses anyone can come up with. I believe there's more to this than what you are saying and I highly doubt this is for SE or other players benefits. It would be nice if the mods would come close this thread as all you are doing is bumping it for your own agenda.
