Yep, this does work if you have nice supportive friends. I had a friend that couldn't afford the Far Eastern attire because of bills and such. Next thing she knows, she has a code waiting for her. For exactly that attire. She was so happy. She never saw it coming either which was the best bit. She wanted it that much (and she never changes the gender of her character, nor does she change from Miqo'te actually, if she changes her looks it's through the Aesthetician), I justified the £11 there.
