Which server are you on atm? Also you wont get another 30 days if someone use your RAF code. You will get some goodies as you seen here.

I bought mine from impulse. You can try get them from seagm or offgamers. And EU subscription are cheaper probaly has something to do with GBP. Heck even the mog station item are cheaper compare to USD. I myself is using an EU account.

And try log in at around 3am~8am and try your luck or after weekly maintaince to create a new chracter. Or you can try server transfer if you;'re deseperate enough.
