    6Mil/Marrow is laughably cheap. Why? Because of the god damned opportunity cost. That's how these things are priced. That's why no one will sell them and no one will buy them. The opportunity cost you'd have to incur to farm ADL means that each marrow would be worth an easy 20M+, essentially costing relic holders another 100M+ (another full relic) to go from 95-99. Whether they pay that out or do the event themselves makes no difference, it's still 100M down the drain.

    Why you're somehow unable to see that and insist on arguing with everyone here is beyond me.
    I do see that. 6 million was just a number I threw out arbitrarily to say that if I could tell the relicholders to buy it, I would. But they can't, as you say, so I am trying to come up with ways to actually do SE's trial, since it is clearly not being changed now. Your point is 17 people can make 2-4 million (34-68 million) for each time they sacrifice a Dyna run. My rebuttal is that (i) not everyone wants to spend their Dyna time hardcore farming gil or being forced to do so, (ii) they are potentially rewarded in other ways, including help with Arch Bosses in other zones or DKP for other events, (iii) "opportunity cost" is ultimately subjective based on your specific activities, and (iv) boiling everything down to opportunity cost goes against the spirit of other events in the game where you endlessly waste manpower hours when you could be farming gil, or every single event ANYONE has EVER attended in the past where the group wasn't giving you gil for time.

    I could say the same things about the perpetuity of this argument.
