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.
