street Wrote:I see this talk about the black friday sale. Did nexon say they will have unlimited cubes during the sale? After all it is a black Friday sale, do you go in to best buy expecting to see a 50 inch led tv at $299 for each person? No they say limited quantity, this isnt a nexon sale event its a black friday one so it should follow the same criteria. Yes, nexon could have made a lot of money their lost, shouldn't some of you be happy you didn't charge all that nx? I was going to charge $100 nx but saw the cubes were limited i'm not going to change my rating on nexon just from THAT event! Then got some of you who will change your score once big bang hit that's plain stupid. Next thing you know you will change your score when you lag out maple when big bang hits.

Sarah Wrote:Maybe if you'd read the corresponding threads then things would make sense to you, Street. There's about 30 good explanations in the Black Friday topic detailing why this has negatively effected Nexon's image. Whether you agree or not is invalid, as this is a completely personal poll.

Also i read that whole thread, the milestones were in connections with the black friday sale. It was not a separate nexon sale event. You just viewed the whole make your own black friday sale in YOUR perspective. In one of your post you said nexon didn't say their will be limited quantity on the milestone in the banner it says "BLACK FRIDAY!" Your making your own black friday so the items will be limited quantity, if black Friday was not included in the title then your reason might be valid but its invalid like always.

Last time I checked, Nexon's cash shop can never run out of items, so comparing it to Best Buy just shows how you little you understand the problem.

Here's the basics, you misogyngist: people were told that they'd receive discounted miracle cubes if they fulfilled some requirements, so they fulfilled those requirements only to find out that they were limited. Given how many people play maplestory, that can ONLY come out as detriment to Nexon's image.

For the next three weeks we’ll be monitoring logins and Cash Shop purchases. If Maplers meet certain goals, we’ll add some sweet, sweet items to the already great Black Friday Sale!

Wow just wow you really are

Ofcourse the cash shop never runs out but with certain events(black friday) they will run out of those items at that price on sale. Were you expecting to go under the game tab and find those cubes at 840 nx? lmao your smarter than you look I'm comparing their black friday sales its limited on that day, your failing to see what day these sales were going on. It was on black friday! Not labor day!



What so hard to understand? They will be adding certain items that are bought the most to the black friday sale list. Now you see black Friday you should think "limited quantity" Not o yay regular sale

Seanny Wrote:Problem with the Milestones? HORRIBLE pineappleING CONCEPT OF WHICH LITTLE THOUGHT WAS PUT INTO.

Hey everyone, work together to earn something only a FEW of you can benefit from! <- Surely there's something wrong with this idea or else the world has gone insane. Indeed, its a shame most people thought Nexon wasn't that stupid to come up with an idea like that. Yet it happened.

Oh, and then some players found out some of the items put up as limited quantity WEREN'T EVEN DISCOUNTED. Taking advantage of ignorant players. Best of all, they sold out too, and the item in that thread there already HAD a 20% discount available. GG Nexon, make that money while making us sick.

Even with the previously mentioned failures aside, The real trick of black friday to put up these limited stock 'doorbusters' and to snag buys from thoise who missed out with moderately more expensive yet still on sale alternatiives. Nexon doesn't have any alternatives for those who miss out on the doorbusters... that's right, Nexon even failed the very concept of Black Friday you speak of.

And thennnn we have other F2P companies, one of which did a sale where items from all of their games had 70%, 50%, and 30% discounts on a respectable list of items from each game, with none of the limitied stock crap either.

Thoughtless milestone system, failing at Black Friday concept, and being shown up badly by other F2P companies who provided better sales while being more convienient and cutting the quantity crap. Nexon earned the thumbs down in this event. Lets just hope Nexon learned from this and decided to never do a milestone event again unless they'll let EVERYONE benefit from it.

I dont even get whats so bad about people changing their score: obviously the score is decided by how much nexon did, or did not annoy them. Thats like getting mad at a teacher cause she dropped your grade from a B to a C because you got an F on one of your unit tests. good grief.

darksyte Wrote:I have to agree with streets on this one. Every black friday sale in the past has been limitied quantity, theres no precedent saying it wouldve been unlimited this year. And the milestone argument? Nexon explicitly said they would be monitoring the activity of all its users who A) logged on and B) made CS purchases. Thats several hundreds of thousands of people, if you honestly went out of your way to log on more and buy more stuff in the CS under the delusion you would even make a blip in the numbers......i dont even know. I feel like nexon would have given us the items regardless if we met these "milestones". Though I dont agree with how this sale was handled, there was no reason for any of you to expect what you did. Its pretty much a "hope for the best, prepare for the worst" kind of thing. Gonna flame me for having a differing opinion from you, fire away Im just stating my view.

Herborist Wrote:They asked everyone to fulfill a task, and then rewarded us with limited quantities of discounted items. You don't see how unfair that is?

It's like me saying "hey everyone, help me out and you'll all get a prize!" and the prize turns out to be $1 that goes to the first person who reaches my hand. Our reward shouldn't have been a free for all dash. This isn't even including the mislabeled items that weren't actually discounted.

I didn't even buy anything and I'm upset about how much of a waste it was.
