There are some gates you can’t buy your way past
Well, except that's exactly what they want you to do. Literally. Fork out enough cash to make the 4M GP threshold, so yeah, you literally can buy your way past it. They never said it wouldn't take a crapload of cash, but again, that's the whole point. That's why i have a problem personally with sticking people in the same boat. You can't start today and get to K1 inside of year, for example, unless you want to spend more than the GDP of a small country. But, that's another issue all together. The point remains, you can get past any 'wall' they through up if you have deep enough pockets - or mommy/daddy's credit card has a big enough limit.
I say that with the gate being not having access to the event, not that you have to wait for the event to roll around often enough for the shards. I don't have access to the event, but i'm stunned there's not like a like 2000 crystal refresh on it or something. That sounds exactly like their standard MO. Maybe they can monetize it further by sticking a refresh on it that says $5? But maybe we shouldn't give them more stupid ideas.
I mean, they let people take Executor (and i'm sure Profundity will work the same) all the way to 7* day one if you had the crystals and time to refresh it enough. Odd this would get mega-gated.
