None of them went Epic at all, which means the best I had a chance for was 9% per piece, which requires an excessive amount of luck (something that will never happen for me, because I don't have any).
Even putting that aside, if you already spent $2000 on cubes, you should automatically have free trade for said gear. Asking people to spend EVEN MORE is adding insult to injury. It's not a matter of "You spent $2000 already so what's a little more?" it's a matter of "I spent $2000 on you and you want EVEN MORE so I can properly use it?" It's like they purposely want to fuuck everyone in the ass who's actually keeping them alive.
Above even our complaints, it deters players from wanting to cube at all, because most of the time when people end up spending $200+, it's on impulse, and not an intention. I'm victim of this myself. I didn't intend to spend $75 the other day, I stupidly went, "Well if I can just get 3% more..." Is it my fault? Absolutely. But with this additional fee on the first fee, then the result is people not spending money at all because of it. They aren't thinking in thousands when they buy cubes to begin with, at least most people are not. They're thinking in tens and sometimes hundreds. Adding even more to that just deters people, especially, above all else, the fact that you have to scissor EVERY TIME YOU WANT TO TRANSFER. So if you play a lot of characters, you're not spending $40 once...or twice....or even three times. You're spending it tens of times if you truly want to play all of your characters. When you're thinking of it that way, why would you even bother making the gear worth trading in the first place? Then they lose money because of their stupidity in the trading mechanics.
Meanwhile, I shouldn't get more ass rapeage because I might want to use gear I bought, pathetic by GMS standards or otherwise on my other mages, even if it's just one trade.
In the end, Nexon's money hungry ways is starting to hurt them and we can even see this now.
I'm one of those players too. In fact, the only reason why I'm even considering cubing this time is that I outright refuse to deal in monetary trading as I think it's absurd for to make such trades for pixelated items and the part of my head that says "So, think again: What happened the last time you went to the casino?" keeps reminding me that I'm not going to get a good result in a few tries so why bother when I get guaranteed satisfaction buying a nice book or going to see a great movie? I want good entertainment for my money and cubing extensively only to keep spending more as more classes are released isn't my kind of entertainment so too bad Nexon, I'm sticking to one character to do all the things your linear game has and everyone else gets things purchasable in mesos. You practically encourage your wise consumers to do this.
