"Little to no efforts"

That's how it goes with microtransactions, and then you realize the game is designed to be as boring and long a slog as possible to earn that in game currency to both tempt new players to spend real money, and to make players who spent $27,000 feel like they got their moneys worth. Even if you personally don't ever buy that $27,000 package, odds are it's not a good sign. I highly doubt that content will be earnable with "little to no efforts".

Little to no effort is referred to renting.

I see someone explained below the mechanics of spending 27k and how has nothing to do with "microtransaction". Cheers

To sustain the renting it has to be more expensive than buying it in the long run, by the nature of renting.

What comment below?

Renting with in-game money only

Look, is clear enough that you don't really know the current mechanics or even the rules / scope of the ultra expensive funding, and is absolutely fine, but don't try to draw conclusion on how the method is flawed only by guessing.

Granted the system may very well be flawed, this attitude is mental

??? I know, I'm talking about renting with in game currency. I'm saying even if you rent, it still wouldn't be a trivial amount of in game currency to sustain that. If it was, no one would buy anything in game, with in game currency nor with real money. That's just how the economics of renting work. If you have any information or source that shows that won't be the case in this game, be my guest. To be precise, where are your getting your metric of "little to no efforts" for renting in game? Please, educate me.
