    Reasons to buy your RME currency off the AH ; you're too busy to farm it, you're incredibly wealthy and want to treat yourself, the drop-rate is so soul-destroying that you can't bear to farm the content.

    I would never buy relic/mythic/ergon currencies , unless I was super rich and wanted to treat myself. I can farm those currencies at a steady and reliable rate. If I put in an hour into those systems, I will always get a fairly predictable amount of currency back.

    VW is different, because of the random chance of getting no items for your weapon. And the fact that it reloads again with the same chance of you getting the same fish and flowers as before. The fish, twigs etc. factor is why many people prefer to buy HMP/cinders. It is actually disheartening when you go on WAR and proc 100% lights and trade your cells and then get some fish and flowers. It makes you want to not do it again, even if the "do it again" option is now automatic without having to visit the trigger NPC.

    It's funny that you mention fish and flowers. Last 12 kills were nothing but mats. So, I can't I see how the team does not realize the drop rates for mats are extremely high over the require items needed to upgrade weapons.

    I have fishing 110 and Ebisu, so the last thing I want to receive after fully proccing a VWNM is a load of sandfish etc. I just stand there thinking, I could be actually fishing instead of doing this VW, and I wouldn't be catching sandfish either!
