It's not about the item they paid to get, but the saved time it gave them. If they use that time well, then they'll have more gold or whatever they want than if they didn't pay for it.
Though if they didn't do anything productive with that time, then sucks for them.

So... paying a guild 80-100k for a carry for outdated content just to save 2-3 hours of time? You do realize that means they have to make 40k+ gold per hour to realize any sort of "profit" from that time saved right? And if they are good and their rotation is optimal they won't actually be "behind" in damage in comparison to someone who is still in that sort of gear anyway. Its marginally better if you don't get any epic upgrades or blue upgrades from quests.
Might as well just invest in BOE epics that some people are selling at that point.
