Let me just leave this here.

I've heard a lot of outcry about pay-to-win or whatever, but I gotta ask:

Are people doing this advertising actually successfully selling anything?

Not that I plan on getting married, but ponying up $20 or even $40 is a whole lot easier for me than scraping together six million gil, or whatever ridiculous prices these guys are charging...

If it's a matter of players ASSUMING mouthbreathers in-game are going to buy any shiny they dangle in front of them, forking over the real-life money to stock up on bracelets, and then failing to actually sell any, I'd find it pretty hilarious. XD

Yes, ppl will pay insane ammounts of gil for this kind of stuff.

Actually yesterday I went mining, got a Boarskin map, opened it....treasure dropped an unhidden map, went to open it and got the new spriggan cap.
So I go to the MB to see how much are they selling for, there was none posted, looked at the history of sales....none.....WTH? server first trying to sell it?....well I placed it for 4m just to try to get some leverage on its worth.....was sold in about an hour for the 4m I placed it.
