Speak for yourself.
Some classes or skills have an innate Ignore DEF ability (Heros, for example, get 50% from Combat Mastery).
Codex Leafre set requires no funding, but might need a friend to take you to HT for the card. Hoblin King set (15% Ignore DEF) is dead easy.
If you PQ at all you're going to have some Ambition. Even maxing Ambition is not hard without funding. Only takes about twice as long as doing it with funding.
Takes maybe a week to get a link skill Luminous to level 70, even for the unfunded and inexperienced.
15% Ignore DEF is actually a lot more common on low-rank potential weapons. It's the funded people, who cube for Boss Damage, that don't have Ignore DEF on their weapons.
Edit: Ninja'ed heavily, so I'll respond to your next point:
Ignore DEF doesn't apply only to bossing. It also applies to training. Even a mere 20% PDR hurts when you're not doing enough damage to 1-hit everything in sight ten times over.
