Maybe I have a more simple view on things, but I look at the cash shop items like this. If someone sold you a laptop that you can take anywhere, and is yours to keep forever, or wanted to sell you a laptop for 90 days, but are only allowed to take it a few places, which would you rather buy? If you had some security and flexibility in what you can do with the product, the customer is always willing to buy it.
Personally I have a Cannoneer that I would love to play(Hell, they're the only pirate class I enjoy), but I just cbp'd to train him because my hyper rock, outfits, leftover cubes, warding scrolls, pets, etc etc are all on my Archmage. Since I can transfer these items between my Paladin and Marksmen, I find my experience on them much more enjoyable since I can actually use the items I purchased.
So while my Cannoneer is sitting there collecting dust, I instead only get enough NX to cube for three of my characters for miracle time. If I could transfer stuff to my Cannoneer, or hell, even my Phantom, I would have happily bought more NX to increase my damage output. I'm pretty sure Cubes have become a rather dominate item on Nexon's Market, as well.
You can argue stuff like "But Shaun, what about permanent cash shop items?" which is a valid excuse for stuff like Hyper Teles and a few pets, but I have yet to seen someone in Renegades(or during my years in Demethos or Scania for that matter) actually wear their NX until it expires. People get tired of looking at the same thing every day, and with new Cash Shop items being released oh so very often, I highly doubt Nexon would lose any profits, and I would be highly surprised if they didn't actually make more since people would motivated tobuy more NX.
But the fact of the matter is that separate inventories are here and don't seem to be leaving Korea or America anytime soon.
