You can't take a sold clear player and just always assume that they are bad. Bad exists on both ends of that spectrum. People who cleared it with their tanks calling out everything are just as horrible as people who paid to clear and felt they could return to said content with no practice.

The people who actually went back and learned it though, awesome. They had to deal with the fact that no one could clear that fight despite all the practice and they did what worked. They wanted FCoB so they bought the service from people who could easily clear it.

Personally, I don't care if people buy clears or what. I bust my head against the wall enough times to hate the content that I do and finding a group of stable players to farm something is just dumb sometimes. I'd rather pay to farm T9 than go back and help anyone else with it. If anyone wants to steer clear of the battle content, then that's their choice. They going old-school since the game once boasted that you never had to do any battle content on a battle class.

Stigma is in the eyes of the player. I've seen people who bought their clears winning at the content that they bought later and I've seen people who legit won the fights and were garbage during it.
