Cash Shop Specials: 7/31 - 8/07

Actually I can prove it's irrelevant.

He may not have articulated his point as well as I hoped but let me explain some common sense to you. When computers require more ram, ram got cheaper in bulk. When maplestory requires more cube enhancements in order to enjoy a large amount of content at a reasonable pace, then cubes should be sold in bulk. Normally 19 dollars, 3 dollars off is a measly 15%.

But hey! Plenty of people celebrate computer parts with a large sale like that! Hell most of the time it's only 10%! I'm sure you're saying to yourself. Now take a step back and realize that to sell ram you have a manufacturer, a retailer/website, shipping and handling, and probably a few things imbetween that all want profit. Nexon literally pulls this sh`it out of the sky, would it kill them to do 20 cubes for 10 dollars? NO. They gain all of the profit, and costs nothing to produce besides the energy to keep the f`ucking game up. Hell if I played I'd charge frekin $100 for that deal, and I'm sure a lot of other players would fork up just as much. Nexon is so bent on short coming profits they can't see the potential from deals like these, they just can't. And I'm not sure it's because they don't understand that to get a specific 21%+ stat item is still in my opinion slightly ridiculous.

Now that we've gone through all that, let's get to your point, where you claim;



There's two things wrong with that, the first one being, the person you're quoting is specifically stating the happiness when it comes to the "cubing" aspect of maplestory. His wording "enhancements. Secondly, that's half the reason people are addicted, they want to get stronger, they want to get that growth to be able to be self-sustaining. People play to ultimately enhance their stuff, so they can fight bosses. That's literally the end game content for you. Cube>Boss>cube more>boss. You make money to simply grow stronger, then when it's neigh impossible based on the current enhancements to upgrade more you either, wait til a new cube, nebulite, fu`cking moon moon sticker pops up, or you make a new class and start over.

Yes some players are much more easily entertained by the fact they can use high level skills, that they can play omok, or that they can run a guild. But that point doesn't have any correlation towards the original topic which was the feelings about cubes. Releasing a brand new cube doesn't necessarily get anyone excited, but decent types of sales do as it gives everyone a more fair access to those enhancements.

You read his first point and jumped to the conclusion that he simply meant that the sales of CS items are what keeps players here, but if you continue reading he was specifically stating the enhancement policy is pretty f`ucked up currently, and sales just make it a lot easier to manage. Thus, players will only be happy with the sales that result in cheaper cubes, because currently the updates concerning the enhancements have simply dug the inexcusable crap even deeper.

If maplestory became pay to play tomorrow I would play it. Take everything in cs and make it accessible in game, it would be perfect for me. However, before anyone jump downs my throat, I know that would be economic suicide on Nexon's part.

"Actually I can prove it's irrelevant."

- What is irrelevant is subjective and hence, always an opinion.

- Moreover, opinions are not true or false. You have the audacity to claim to be explaining common sense to me and yet, you apparently lack the common sense to decipher fact from opinion. How incredibly ironic.

- Furthermore, you're attempting to "prove" an opinion (which is utterly fallacious and illogical in itself), and you've posted nothing except more opinions, which I don't care about at all. How ironic.

- There is only something "wrong" with my statement in your opinion.

- It's a fact that there is more to the game than just sales. However, I'm not sure if you know the difference between a fact and an opinion after reading your recent comments.

- Moreover, sales are only "half the reason that people are addicted" in your opinion.

- People play for whatever reason they wish regardless of what you do or do not believe. I suggest that you stop making baseless and subjective claims that you cannot prove in the least.

- False.

- As if you would know what conclusion I jumped to. Apparently, you can't help but to continue to make baseless claims. Moreover, I didn't even respond to his first post. As such, I'm starting to question your reading ability.

- If you actually read my post properly and used common sense, you would understand what I was saying.

- He claimed that his opinion was fact, when it was actually an opinion and I corrected him. Simple. It only takes common sense to understand this.
