Points CAN be purchased
Points can be purchased from Awoir, Forevergogo or Randomerror for a cost of 10,000gil per point. Items can be traded for points but at a rate of 20k per point.
Hmm LS fund right? hmm what do you use it for? Potions for everyone? Why the difference in item prices?
Hopefully it's not a "Awoir gives 1,000,000 gil to Randomerror, 100pts! Randomerror gives 1,000,000 gil to Forevergogo, 100 pts! Forevergogo gives 1,000,000 gil to Awoir, 100 pts!"
NOTE : I am not accusing these people of doing anything. I'm just stating an example of what can happen when money is involved. Sorry, just can't see this purchasing rule as a good rule especially on an event that doesn't even need money to start(i.e. unlike dynamis). Should RNGs and NINs claim their disposable costs to this fund? Should the LS have free food? How about I claim 10gil for each point of XP loss? If i go farm the item beforehand, can you pay me 100k gil?
Money for points is a very very very very bad idea. It brings out the dirty side of nature.
P.S. No timings were given at all....
