It is, but because of #1, #2, and #3 by the time you could actually make use of the items, which to be honest are meant for people pre-level 25 and pre-chocobo attainment, the new player is most likely well beyond the point of using them. If the items were truly meant to help the recruiter better help the recruit, then there is a very, very limited means to doing that. If you wait till after the bonus month for the subscription to actually get charged, the opportunity is lost. It doesn't take long to get past level 20. By the time the subscription kicked in they could be level 50. If they are trying to make these items to really help new player someone recruited, then their current system really makes it difficult for that to happen, unless these are just in reality glorified and prestige and glamour items.
