GIM removal tickets serve as an important barrier that limits free trade between high level GIM groups. Removing the paywall would make gim items cheaper, more obtainable, and devalue the gamemode even more than it already is.
Personally I have 0 swaps left because like others say life happens, I left an inactive group, I became inactive, etc. It really isn't *that* difficult to make 300M for a removal ticket and a strong team member is worth much more than 300M/$25.
It's unfortunate that lower level players have to struggle but it forces you to better your own account independently while you wait, which is the point of IM modes.
