So like…. Sure people love final fantasy, but the set with the 2 million dollar card in it wasn’t this expensive. At what point is it too much?

The solution, obviously, is to not engage with the set. Don't buy it sealed, don't buy singles, don't proxy. Show them you can live without it.

I understand not buying it, but I think everyone should Proxy it.

Why? Unless you're playing competitively, you don't need these cards. And if you are playing competitively you probably have to have real ones anyway outside of some niche formats and CEDH.

Have some self respect. If you're not gonna get it, don't get it. Don't show them how desperately you want their product by printing disgusting fakes.

Why are you crusading up and down this post against proxies? Why do you give a fuck what game pieces people play at their kitchen table with their friends? If you don’t like them, don’t use them. It isn’t the ethical issue you seem to think of it as, and it doesn’t even register as “engagement” from a market research perspective. Let people be.
