Aqua this is the main problem. I'm not sure why this person and another continue to make the same statement, when it doesn't make sense to farm for something that is obviously an inferior model. (by a lot after grading).
This would also help new players, who see 50m as a number that is quite difficult to obtain, and might consider it a huge grind. The whole set, being almost 2 generations worse now, and being a level 1 armor, is just unacceptable to have to pay a few hundred million for the set.
I literally used illusion armor until I got Nebula. Out of necessity, I picked up the gray wolf shoes just to get the FCT. It was not worth it to farm all these level 1 armor sets, because you're paying millions for obsolete garbage, so it's skipped to save zenny.
This is not balanced, and as I stated very early on, this needed a change, because it's not worth wasting your time on. I'd like to make some early gear for leveling, but the price tags are just nonesense.
