Edit Reason: Changed "if that" to "if paid legend inks" so as to be better worded.

It takes roughly 2 hours of grinding as a grindmage (in optimal set up) to get an LE. Lets say 2.5 hours. An LE is 2 inks.
If you don't feel like breaking your IC, and being a different class than IC, you're probably looking at 5+ hours per LE. It isn't "Paying $5 for 1 crit". It's Donating money to the game so that you don't have to spend hours grinding that takes away from being able to actively Roleplay. Something that has held me back from making characters that I have wanted to make has been the long, and rather tedious, grind to get Legend Inks. Of course, you can say "Well just don't LE!" but trailing behind other people who have had the time to grind by 12 base stat points (which can generally be extrapolated to 40-60 hp) feels bad. Or god forbid if you need trait/talent/crafting points.
It's just saving you the grind by getting rid of the, frankly, tedious and awful parts of it. Allowing you more time to actually RP your character / Interactions with others in an RP game. Rather than what most people do. Which is sit there at lava lake staring as they press. "Rebia > Kel > Focused Beam" or rebia > Rebia. And continuing like that for hours on end.
I wouldn't even be suggesting this if Legend Inks were more readily available and spread out throughout the map like they were on G6.. but that isn't the case, and either option works. I just want to be able to actually play characters I have the earnest desire to make, but am stopped by "That's like 20 hours of grinding nonstop before I can actually play this character."
Your own argument defeats itself. I have the money to spend freely on this; I've had a house worth 100+ dollars (along with houses on other characters) back on G6, and my financial situation has only improved vastly since. You clearly have money to spend, as well. But if your reasoning for "why not not LE" is that you "trail behind other people" and that "feels bad", imagine how it might feel for others- whether newly playing the game or not- to not have the funds to purchase LE inks when others would freely do so.
The problem innately is not me, Sawrock specifically, paying $5 for 1 crit- that point was stated as such before to be laconic. It's that the kind of environment the game would be is drastically shifted if paid legend inks went into effect.
