Ultimates not included in the free trial. Bravo.

Wouldn't that actually be a lot of work though? Cause it wouldn't just be as simple as gearing up, you'd also need materia melds and food buffs on the FT characters, meaning they'd have to do all of that themselves. Or maybe sellers are just that good and they don't need all of that.

Most of them have a gigantic surplus already. They just move materia and whatnot between characters/accounts as needed to expedite the entire process.

Yes, but free trial players can't trade. You'd have to do everything from scratch.

Apparently there are ways around some those limitations if you're willing to do some incredibly shady crap. Which, if someone is already practicing RMT, odds are they're just fine doing that too.

That aside, botting is a very strong way to get what you need fast. It wouldn't take them long to amass all the materials they need, with or without somehow bypassing part of the free trial's limitations.
