I sure hope so. It would be unfair to make doing these fights the only possible way to get your hands on the new scrolls. It reminds me of the old days when people were complaining about the cost of Leaping Boots and Emperor Hairpin, asking that they be made Rare/Ex. This always struck me as unfair, because it takes away the option of just finding gil on your own and buying this stuff, rather than camping the NMs.
Personally, I think half a million gil is about the most I'm willing to shell out for a spell. I'm probably gonna spend a month utilizing any of the dozen ways to make gil, and fatten my wallet whilst waiting for the price to come down.
