Is it ethical to pay your way to flawless (or raid)?

So I got done playing Trials when I found out the enemies played for Guns of Destiny, a boosting service I found as an ad on DestinyLFG (.com), advertising they can get anyone Rank 5 in IB, which isn't that hard if you get a group of friends (or LFGers). SO I decided to dig around, when I found they charged $85 for a flawless trials passage or your money back. Not only that, but they also service IB (when it's around), and the raid, complete with challenge modes. This brings up the question of the title, as there is a fine line between pay to win and being "balanced". Just some food for thought. TL:DR: Should you want to pay $300+ for 3 complete characters? EDIT: I do not plan to do this. I plan to save up for more important things. Like Fallout 4 because relavence.

    pay to win is typically defined as the game itself offering benefits for money (separate from the purchase of the game itself) when the community is charging other members of the community for services in game it becomes a separate issue from that. I don't know if you can apply ethics to destiny in this way. there's nothing morally wrong about paying someone to help you through a game. maybe you meant a different word. [spoiler]to answer your tl;dr, I don't think you should WANT to do that, you should practice and hone your skills so you can beat the challenge on your own merits. but if that is out of the question and you want the rewards, then you can pay people for it if you feel it's worth the money.
