And to think I left the store feeling nauseous that one time I bought a 25k card. It's no wonder Nexon doesn't bother to fix anything, the game still prints money even when it's in shambles.

150k at a time or ever? Cause 150k is still a lot of damn money. That's almost worth a year of my WoW time..... or 3 brand new games (including skyrim perhaps?) a Wii, or food for an entire african village for a month.

Buying any is ridiculous considering what people let Nexon get away with.

I might be missing something due to having rotten sound and being unable to make out most of what's being said, but, are we seeing anything more horrible than a person buying a lot of NX?
Personally, I try not to judge what people spend their entertainment budget on.
Is buying NX any worse than buying tickets to a movie/theatre/themepark/concert/opera/ballgame/vacation or any other kind of fun which leaves you with nothing in-hand but memories and maybe photos?
Now, if he's buying that with stolen money, or money he can't afford to spend, then that's a problem. But would it have been better if he'd bought game consoles or a motorcycle?
Sorry, I just don't see what's so "wtp" about this.

150k never covers the cubes. lol I'm sure i've spent so much more than that over time and not even 1/4 of my gear is finished lol ._.
Last time i bought over 100k was in BFS.
But honestly. I don't feel good about buying that much.. ._. I won't be for a while now either, so much new games I'd rather buy

1. Cubing to unique & 1 primary main stat line
2. Cubing for 15-21%

You can totally tell its a kid cause they're carrying cash... MATURE PEOPLE PAY WITH DEBIT. But...I don't like using my debit card

And this, usually the popular stores in my town are out of nx every single time I check.

Microtransactions within Maplestory are so fucking ridiculous. So glad I never gave Nexon a penny. It baffles me how people will spend that kind of money on a game.
