Most of those have HAD enough money to get a LS though, they just spend it on different things. It's one thing to say "Oh only the 1% could ever accrue enough money to get this item" it's another to say "You're the 1% because I buy skincents and art rather than saving for a LS"

It took me almost exactly a year of FTP moneymaking to buy a LS. I don't think that makes me the 1% in a 8 year old game.
