I agree with stereo; godly scrolling equips like superior gollux set, will increase your range a lot.
but as far as funding yourself goes... the long "con" works, depending on your patience.
Most people have the money/meso to be impatient, and buy whatever they greed whenever they see it.
If you have a desirable item, you can sell it now, before the price drops later.
[indent] examples: superior gollux pendant, 25% boss neb[/indent]
If you plan ahead of time for events like cube sales, or miracle cube time, you can profit from all-class equips and generate more revenue than you started with. This (slow) method for gaining meso is of course, more dependent on luck of cubes/scrolls, and less on a direct meso/usd exchange rate. another drawback is 10b meso cap. it is difficult to buy things that cost more than 10b mesos, BUT, require the same "trust" as would be for direct usd funding.
Personal Experience: During the last miracle time, i used 100 crafted legendary cubes (value <80m per cube) and 3 packs of red cubes (value 11k per pack?). That's just under 10b converted meso cost at that time. The actual cost to me was nearly HALF that, via blade farming & fm hunting for cheapest crafting materials. I mostly cubed items to SELL, not personal upgrades. after selling all those items, I had over 20b in mesos.
I dont know the exact price because I keep flipping items, so the direct gain was lost in the numbers. Getting To The Point... I used quite a lot of valued funding and doubled my original investment, BUT, my range went nowhere. It's a month later, and i'm not any stronger than I was. I have even more mesos now and virtually nothing I want/need to buy. Here's the kick in the face... the 2 or 3 items I want right now are only being sold for PP/MP/USD, which i just do not support doing. If one person pays, and the other trader walks away (i.e. scams) there is nothing that can be done. the money/items are just gone.
The Easiest way to fund yourself (via direct usd) is to find someone quitting, and pay for all their equips. lots of people sit on their equips for months "quitting" because they want to see USD return for all the USD they spent on NX and things. If you can find/trust a person like that, then you take all the work out of scrolling/hammer/cubing your gear yourself.
