because the CS won't affect gameplay...

God, now that they can add stats to CS items, they'll start selling Onyx Apples in the CS
or gold bags of apples, which can be edeemed for 10 apples

Well an APQ ring is really the same thing.
But yes.
They give an advantage to users that pay them.
Which allows them to actually KEEP the game.
Really the MTS system is very generous.
It'd be lame if like 90% of CS was NX only.
But really only like 1% is NX only (which I am fine with).
As long as there aren't GIANT banners and annoying ads I am fine.
Like Avatar Smegas I don't like.
Alot.

Seemed rather ambiguous to me.
Then again, that may be because I've had to take a lot of your comments with a grain of salt.

In any case:
I feel that this is just the beginning of items like this, but honestly how could you not see it coming?

As long as it is not NX only it will be EASILY justified.
And if 1 out of 50 things are NX only... well boohoo.
Now I just wish that Nexon would just use all this new and future income to improve the game.
