They can keep the system as as is, but edit the system so that you won't get irrelevant stats on the equipment. No getting int/luk for archer equipment, str on mage equipment, etc. Make monsters drop cubes at the rate of a piece of time or even dream fragments. Make them untradeable of course and only useable on equipment that are epic tier and below or so.
Just make it so the player doesn't feel like they're wasting their money completely based on luck and chances. That would be my guess on why people would complain is because the odds of getting something they want is extremely low that it feels rigged. Make it more fair and reasonable. Dragon Nest is sort of like that as they sort of have the same potential upgrading system, except the stats you get are always relevant to the item. It's pretty common to see posts from people saying they have spent 30+ dollars on cubes and get nothing useful out of it. While it is the player's choice to do all that and Nexon is a business, there should be a point where both can be made more fair and reasonable to be accepted by both.
Many people would argue that Nexon would be a bit of a dirty business because they seem to prey upon people's lack of self-control, the urge to become competitive against other players, and addiction to get stronger in the game, in which are mostly targeted at younger audiences.
Anyway, bonuses to accuracy and avoid are junk only because the stat system for them is junk. If they made them more useful, then maybe more people wouldn't mind and complain about getting them. They could even implement accuracy and avoid into the damage multiplier or formula for some classes that would actually benefit from having lot of it.
From Pre-BB times, accuracy actually mattered to extent, archers were actually needed for certain mobs to be hit that other classes couldn't. It mattered to especially for warriors that actually bought stuff with accuracy on them. Now, the accuracy is based on level range and the accuracy stat is pretty much useless. Other stats like defense and avoid won't matter that much either unless you have a lot of it. Some classes will never be able to achieve that much for the player to even care about it.
Speed and jump can easily be maxed by other methods than cubing equipment for them.
