Alot of people would use plat to level and buy oktal pets. Dont forget plat cannot be farmed like gold can be. People to this day still bot in plasma pyramid. Youre coming from the standpoint of plat dungeons. Plat dungeons were always easy to farm. Nuri is the only plat dungeon that has gear that u cant farm in the regular map. There is only a limited amount of plat to go around that is in circulation right now. Once thats used up after taking all plat offers away. People HAVE to buy more for there to be anymore in circulation.
