Real Money to Get In-Game Currency: Eternal Bond Edition

[Krr]

You are nitpicking the price (both in gil and RL money) - that is the context anyway based on the guy you are quoting.

I don't think the context of the post I made or the post I was quoting has been made entirely clear since you seem to think I'm somehow defending exchanging real cash for gil by joking that you need 'even more' real cash for a FCOB purchase.

(It's the opposite.)

People have been selling runs for over a year, long before the cash shop existed. They will continue to sell runs after people stop selling bracelets.

The point isn't that you can buy runs now that bracelet selling is pandemic, the point is that bracelet selling literally lets you convert real cash into content clears, which is a form of directly paying real money for player power, or "pay to win" as it's commonly put.
