Quote:You can also help from within your Nexon gameplay experience. In addition to Nexons donation, from March 14 through March 20, Nexon America will be donate 100 percent of the proceeds from the sale of many of our in-game items to the Red Cross for the Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami disaster relief efforts.

If your in class and your teacher tells you to do a test on page 5 but check page 6 for instructions but you choose not to check page 6 is it the teachers fault or your own?

At the very top of the page, it reads "Please read all of the instructions before writing down any answers." The tests lasts 5 minutes, and it's practically impossible to do all 50 questions. At the very end of the test, it states you have finished reading the questions, should have nothing on your piece of paper, so just write your name in the upper corner and turn it in. 99% of the students that took that test failed. The issue here isn't the reader's fault, but rather, the vagueness and difficult to interpret message hidden behind a single overlookable line that Nexon is trying to exploit from its consumers, further taking advantage of anyone with good intentions to purchase NX thinking they'd help out Japan at the same time.



Once again, the big issue here is how IN-DEPTH you have to read it, which your last post just pointed out and nulled your former posts. Good job.

And once again, Nexon fails to be a transparent company.

Trust Wrote:Btw how in-depth is clicking one more link to find out what items are on sale?

ShiKage Wrote:What the flying f'uck is there to read in-depth?

Seriously... It's f'ucking spelled out for you. If you can't understand it, it's not Nexon's problem, it's YOUR problem.

Very.

Sarah Wrote:Okay, so let's say it is the fault of the people not reading. How is that helping Japan?

If Nexon donated 5% of total revenue as I previously suggested would be nice then it wouldn't be an issue. If they marked which items would help japan with a flashy little sign like those HOT ones in the cash shop then they wouldn't have an excuse. They're not doing enough to make sure that the people who want to donate through them and are going out to buy NX to do that are actually helping. They're taking advantage of ignorance or stupidity.

Sarah Wrote:Doesn't matter if they do because Netto already proved that some people aren't going to understand what that says back on page 1 of this thread.

ShiKage Wrote:Does it really matter? I mean... by the time the money turns from dollars/credit to NX, it's Nexon's money. They can do whatever they want. If they say they're donating it it, does it MATTER what it is they choose to set for "donation sale items?"

Sarah Wrote:It matters that they make sure people absolutely know what those items are. They shouldn't have to assume or guess. Trust sarcastically said that people need to be treated like 2 year olds but he's not wrong, they do. Every single thing needs to be spelled out.

And it's money they're soliciting for a cause, if that money doesn't make it to that cause because of some issue on their end like a lack of clarity then there's a really big issue.

Anonymous Moose Wrote:I believe a few people are missing the point. First, its obvious that nexon is just capitalizing on the event for some extra profit ("Never let a crisis go to waste"). Second, we have absolutely no way of knowing how truthful nexon is being, as they are not exactly open and honest towards us.

ShiKage Wrote:What the f'uck are you expecting Nexon to do, show their bank statements to you?

No company would ever say that they're doing something for a cause and then not do it, because that would put them in the grave. They're not capitalizing on the event. Sure, they may be making money, but it's their own damn right to sell their product and make money off of their own damn product. However, if they say they're donating some of it to a charity, you shouldn't be here bashing Nexon, calling it a horrible company because you don't understand that only part of the revenue goes to charity.

I'm sorry that Nexon isn't going BANKRUPT to make you happy.

Locked Wrote:That would be reader fault. The word "Game" is capitalized, and the way the entire paragraph is worded clearly states a "Everything but X" clause.

ShanghaiDizzy Wrote:1) If you wish to hold a proper argument, refrain from cussing.

2) I myself had no problems reading and understanding it. However, many other consumers did.



Had they worded it like that, less misunderstandings would occur. Had they shown a picture/snapshot/whatever of what they're excluding, that would also cause less misunderstandings. The key success to becoming a respectable company, big or small, is transparency. Your consumers need to understand what you're saying with as little poetic/vague diction used when possible.
