People who buy clears are desperate for their wins. They go as far as buying gil to pay for the clear.

Personally, I don't involve myself in how people progress. Only negative thing about me NOT buying clear is that I can't join many groups due to "no sol" message.

There is a guy who took forever to get his T10 clear. Now, his PF has the "no sol" bonus. Sad, if you ask me.
