Dear Lord yes... have you ever tried "farming" content with individuals you know for a fact bought their clears? FCOB farm parties are littered with these individuals and many suffer as a result. And yes... I'll go on record as saying that every single person I know who has bought a clear has not put nearly the amount of time needed into actually beating the content. And almost to a single one, it's about getting gear. NOT cut scenes. Gear to show off to others that was bought.

Just my experience, but it has held true and nearly every case I've witnessed.
