A lot of people are presumably going to go out and buy NX now thinking it's going to go toward the relief funds. They'll either not read or misunderstand that items like cubes aren't covered and will spend all of that NX on them, completely negating their attempted contribution. It's things like this that make Nexon look so scummy but they can't be held accountable because the words are there and it's not their fault people don't read them.

To anyone who REALLY wants to donate to the Red Cross, I propose you just text 90999 to REDCROSS and leave out the middleman. If you want to buy NX, do it, but don't do it because you want to do something good. If you want to do something good, do it without getting something in return.

Glad they donated $1.2m but I think the other part of this is kind of a scam.

edit: posting this in every post to get the point across.

- Good job Nexon.
- I wonder how people are going to make this into a bad thing that Nexon is doing.

I have a question, i'm not sure if anyone can answer this though. Would the new experience coupons count towards this since they're in the event section and not the game section like they were before? Just need to know before I start gifting junk.

dante9898 Wrote:Lol.



Look if they are in the game section too. Iirc items are most of the time both in the event tab and in their respective tab too.

This added incentive is a good way to get help to Japan even with Nexon profiting from the act; it's still better than nothing at all from the reluctant group. I'm sure some people who have been on the edge about whether or not to mass-buy cubes and gach will be more motivated to buy now. Take that motivation away and Japan gets nothing while Nexon still profits in the end, on way or another. But I'll be sure to nominate those who donate out of altruism for Saint.

Lozmaster Wrote:Way to overreact.
For one thing, nexon suggests people should donate before even mentioning that nx will give some profit to the relief fund. And how many truly successful charity drives can you think of that work without some sort of bonus for the person donating?
I can say with absolute certainty that every charity in existence that doesn't give the people donating something out of it will not make as much money as ones that do.



Keep preaching your moral high ground, but since you're probably not aware of it: This kind of acting superior isn't going to make people run out and donate money; you're more likely to just get people to say, oh , pineapple it, and do nothing.
