If there was a lottery with 200 000 prize with 1/10 000 chance of winning and each ticket was 5 dollars, you'd probably say it's a great idea to buy a ticket every day, because, you know, the expected value of buying it is 15 dollars of profit!

Spend $50,000 on tickets and walk away with $200,000? Where do I sign up?

Based it on the assumption that you could choose your ticket number.

Absolutely, under the condition that you can afford the $1800/year without changing your income bracket. I wouldn't recommend someone working minimum wage, but why wouldn't a middle/upper-middle class person do it?
So I guess the question is whether you can tolerate that you might not get the voidwatch drop you want in the amount of kills you want. The answer seems to be no.
Ever since reading what the Dev team posted yesterday SE has kinda pissed me off with their "You need better gear to be skilled" to do legion and NNI and other hard content. Yes gear is important too but since the update with chocobo blinker nerf VW on my server has died alot I use to see alot like Qilin maybe like 6+ /sh for the little time I was on now a few here and there and most vw is taking 30 mins to over an hour to fill and not windy/sandy/basty climbs or T1-T3 high tiers that use to fill in a few mins, Some VW still fill up fast still depending on the day/time.So to bring VW back so people like me who dont have the best luck and can't get 5/5 on say Athos gear can, I think SE should add a NPC in the game that we can sell blinkers or any cruor item to with a good gil to cruor ratio, But have the npc only deal with people of Rank 10 or who have got something like CoP RoZ ToAu beat maybe even have to kill every VWNM for all tiers? I think that would keep RMT's from converting cruor to gil bring VW back from near death unless SE starts to fix drop rate for VW I see it dying off soon just like any old content. All this might sound like a stupid idea to some people, But people use cruor/gil to buy voiddust and cells so we could do more VW to get those drops some people even did it to fund relic/emp weapons.
*****EDIT CRUOR TO GIL IS NOT MY SOURCE OF GIL*******
