First off its a First Come First Serve LUXERY. Not a "NEED"


Secondly, it was well priced to help REMOVE THE HUGE AMOUNTS OF GIL and simaltaniously target RMT buyers at the same time.

Kudos SE, Kudos.


Lastly.... why?
Gil isn't exactly hard to earn, even from only NPC:S (NPC Sources) sure its not as fast, but honestly greed got the better of most players.
