    Actually, this is a common myth. RMTs will never purchase anything. The whole point is for them to make money without having to spend it. Spending $50 on a single character means they need to sell multiple gil packages just to break even. The chances they accomplish that before the whole account gets banned isn't high. That's why Balmung and Gilgamesh saw no RMT spam when you could still transfer to either. Just the $18 charge proved too much.

As others have said, people who want to play well will put in the effort and those who don't....won't. But that being said, I still think having a little bit of restriction may be good since handing this out as an option may actually attract lazy players to begin with. I personally have a friend who didn't want to play until she heard that she could just buy a story and job skip potion....
    To be fair, A Realm Reborn can be... daunting. You have numerous high and low points due to the overabundance of fetch and filler quests, a very slow progression system and far too many quests in general. I can't entirely blame someone for getting burnt out or not event wanting to slug through it all. Now I did enjoy ARR myself, but there were points where... it tested my patience. (Looking at you Company of Heroes).
