If so, they COULD refund all NX spent on any cash item related to the potential system.. there's still Gachapon and other NX costing appliances like that, so the NX HAS to come back to Nexon in some way and still won't be wasted by the player. And they could throw in a 2x EXP event like they always fudging do in order to "make it all better" with the players that got refunded.
That wouldn't fix the problem--it's the emotional attachment that players have to their "superior" status attained via their equipment, regardless as to how they obtained it. Refunding NX and offering an event won't alleviate the rage that'll occur if they choose to scrap the system all together.

I'll only disagree that the results should be the same, because at that point we have to consider a new variable of how much difficulty is equilavent to the NX point, that's difficult to balance imo.
Absolutely, hence the suggestion of making it different in some way. Offering the same or similar boosts would be a slap in the face to people who've invested serious time and/or money into the currently standing potential system, so they'd have to come up with a solution that's achieving similar effects through different means. I agree that balancing power to NX would be a shitstorm, but that's the point--it wouldn't need to be perfectly balanced as there should be advantages and caveats to each way of progression. The Cash Shop option should simply be easier, not as unanimously better as it is right now.
