Sinner has all level 5 cloths and level 6 wings, did he get those for free?
How about his 6100 Mount strength? Just to give you an idea I am a level 9 VIP, have all but Underworld and Piggy as far as event mounts and I only have a 4100 mount strength. Those two mounts would add 600 so 4700 mount strength. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he still has the GM mount along with the Evil Unicorn for an extra 1000 bringing the total to 5700.
So let's find the extra 400. Well level 3 stables (which by itself would cost enough cash to get you level 9 VIP even without spending on anything else) would give him another 300 so we're in the area. He may be minus one of the event mounts since there is nothing else to add 100 mount strength and by process of elimination would mean he has at least level 4 stables. Yes he plays on S7 so he has had more time (about 6-8 months older than S130 right?) to gather Mount Whips and such than I have but given that I have used all MY whips for the last 7 months with less than $50 put into Advanced Train and I'm BARELY half way to Stable level 3 I can safely say he didn't get it just through free whips.
Next we'll look at the refinement of his gear. Now he has obviously locked stats with Balens and on almost every piece of gear he has level 7+ stats (level 9+ on many of them). I can tell you from personal experience that can cost a good chunk of cash.
With that said we can compare Sinner and jeffhawk and see that their BRs are very close, their Mount Strength is only 300 apart so only 1 mount difference. They both have a decent amount of level 7 gems and high level astrals. The kicker is that jeffhawk is S2 so he has even had MORE time than Sinner to "work" on his character. Of course we know just by looking at the facts that they both have spent money to get to the level of power they are at. I will admit it is not as much as someone like Zebq, Azmodeus or Yarash have since with the exception of Azmodeus their servers have not been around even as long as mine.
Now hopefully you have learned what it means to support your statements with rational thought and evidence. You should probably try it from now on.
In conclusion I will quote an absolutely horrible movie "You have been weighed, you have been measured and you have been found wanting."
