They're testing the elasticity of a product like any other company would.

Uh, companies don't put pomegranate on the shelves and suddenly JACK UP THE PRICE.

The extra 1.5k is obviously for the snazzy new picture of vials.
Tim's Secret Lab - Ninjaman43 - 2011-08-11
Wow It gonna increase to 6k nx T3T
Tim's Secret Lab - Green4Ever - 2011-08-12
I think they inflated it a bit because of the Crusade items. I was planning on using one once I passed 3 scrolls on the Shoulderpad, but now.. eh, I think I'll stick with a 90%.

Good one Nexon...
I thought 3K was a tad much so I didnt get one for my Lunchbox, guess I'll pass on this again or wait for a Sale.

I tried that logic, and it bit me in the ass. Use Secret Lab if the thing you want potential on is very important to you. Like the 9atk 1slot shoulder i made, that blew up with a 90. I actually had 2 of them fail in a row, breaking 2 shoulders. I'm a little jaded now...

Still, you shouldn't buy this at the increased price. If any company saw something selling well and decided to increase the price as a result you'd be outraged, this situation shouldn't be any different. Especially when it costs the company absolutely nothing to manufacture the product in the first place. It would be a different story if they hadn't started selling them at 3000 NX last week. There's no possible justification for doing this besides sheer disgusting greed.
I'm not just crusading against Nexon here, this is a genuinely shitty move and no one should support them doing it. By paying the increased price you are essentially saying "Please! I don't care that you treat me like dirt! I will give you my money no matter what you do!" Which only further justifies them doing more terrible pomegranate in the future. Nothing they can possibly provide for you is worth that. So don't just go AGH I'M MAD BUT... I NEED IT! And toss money their way. Wait it out. It will either come back at a lower price or you'll just have to wait a few months to pay the same outrageous price, but at least we'll still have some dignity as consumers.

Too bad the most common buyers of Nexon Cash will not mind, people will keep it buying, and they will get their money as always. This is a battle the costumers can't win, there will always be someone that will buy.
But, well, I feel insulted as a costumer for this. I agree with you, it shows sheer greed.
Tim's Secret Lab - Sarah - 2011-08-12
That's the attitude that Nexon uses to profit. But any delayed sale counts so if anyone here actually reads this and heeds it, it could make a difference. Not that I expect anyone would, because we all know having potentialed super equips is worth way more than your dignity.

Actually, even seeing the initial "price hike" to 3k, I refused to buy it. No way I'm buying it now.
Now the 1 month hyper tele rocks on the other hand...whoever did the business model on those deserves a raise. A BIG one.

Vote with your money. As a rule, you shouldn't be paying for something that is priced in a manner with which you don't agree.
I bought a Tim's Secret Lab upon initial release because the price was decent.
While I didn't intend to buy another, I definitely won't as long as they're at 1.5 times the original price.

I guess it depends how risk adverse you are, but in my opinion, if your item is worth billions, it's not worth the risk.
Before these Tim's Labs came out, I blew up 2 Reverse DB Masks. It costs so much more to replace them than just to pay that extra price for 100% potential.
Similarly, I refuse to risk destroying a shoulder I spend 2b+ making.
The way I see it is that buying a 10 ATK WG for 300m and selling it NX is only a small cost relative to the value of the item itself.

I used one on my evan dragon glasses, yanno, the ones from the FIRST event.
No way in HELL I'm risking those on even a 10% failure rate.

It's also the only way to potential anything that's item locked.

This is disgusting.
I feel sick by even playing a game run by these bastards.
