    I recently bought a Twintania win, and got an Allagan bow for 1.2m gil.

    I'll do this a few more times, so I'm still top of the pile when 2.1 comes out.

    Seriously though...
    Why do this?
    I never get that pay to win mind set. It's like buying a $60 steak dinner then paying someone else to eat it also.

    He's yanking the OP's chain. There's no coil group willing to give away weapons for such a small amount of gil.

    Even so, I know people who buy/sell Titan wins. I don't get that. Why play a game just to have someone else do content for you. If you want to play a game that plays itself or other people play for you just go watch "Lets Play" Videos or streams of top teams/players. The fact that you buy a win for an item or drop has always eluded me. It's not the same as buying an item in the market as you don't have the craft to get it, but if you have the class to use the item, you can obtain it through the dungeon or duty.

    If they item isn't sell/trade it is for a reason. The item is more a symbol of your accomplishments. Every time i see a Relic I should think. "Man that guy beat Titan Hard Mode"
    Now I'm like "hmmm wonder if he bought his relic.. his gear seems bad, besides his relic...."

    I don't want this to start happening to Coil. Which it might since people are complaining it is too hard, and top teams are already clearing it regularly and before the next coil update might start selling wins.

    Getting angry and saying it's morally wrong is not going to change a thing even if you're right. Only way to reduce this is if SE takes action to prevent it. So having a lot of players pressuring SE to do something about it maybe a better approach.

    It's going to take a long time before this will happens to Coil especially for the weapons since it's locked for a week.

    It's funny from a lore/immersion stand point. You are supposed to be making your own journey, and their claim to fame would be that the "Warrior of Light" paid off some far more skilled and unsung heroes to let them tag along, then took credit for it. Scandalous!

    Where is that guy who said "Twintania will not be sold for months, maybe never? " ?

    How to sell a run? If the weapon of the customer drops, he pays. If it doesn't drop (bad rng) it's a free carried run. Simple, isn't it?

    Now imagine how easy is sell runs with a full 80 gear +allagan 95 weapon group, when 2.1 is out

    OP, allagan weapon is getting a boost because Yoshi got reports (from JP playerbase) asking to make the fight easier, giving out a weapon to make things easier farming it every week, reducing the stress. 80 gear will help too for this goal

    Hey hey, dat worthy reward..

    Then if you think that it should have been harder and would have liked a challenge why not just get allagan weapons? Twintania isn't exactly an easy fight.
