I'd agree on the reputation part, but most don't care.
Apologies for the misconception, seems rumors are as usual, false.

40M on Masamune, take it or leave it. 1 week, peace in the middle east.
It comes down to is that White Ravens is a unique item that cannot be obtained anymore (1 week). For all we know it may be the only earring to ever have Refresh even as level cap raises since we know how sparingly SE adds items with Refresh, at least in XI.
People pay (or have paid) over 50m gil on Durandal for the relic quest (Sword/Spear/Bow+Coins) and that's something that is staying in 2.0 so its not totally out of line with the White Ravens, which is going away.
Bottom line is if you feel White Ravens is worth the price, great. If not then either try to beat it on your own in 7 days, accept that you'll never have it, or try to find someone else that will run you through for cheaper; if there is anyone. Gil can be re-farmed, White Ravens cannot.
This is a sad thread. I'd rather have players who had the skill to beat this keep their earring, than for others to get (for a price) it just cheapens the earring for everyone.
well, my ears don't feel like they're balling out of control any less than before
but that's just me ;)
The egos found in this thread are off the charts.
