Sorry that I made it seem that way. That in fact is not what I believe. ("Recently" was probably a poor word choice. It's sort of difficult to for me to immediately fathom how long this has been going on, and how long I've been playing this game, but in light of the age of the game, the adoption of the business model is relatively somewhat recent.)
What is recent, however, is my personal realization of the trend. Also what has been recent is the noticeable negative consequences popping up in the form of playership and revenue.

You can sit here and discuss it, but you're 4 years too late, you can petition for it, but I can guarantee itll be ignored. The changes you and I want, aren't really determined by the NA branch, but the korean branch, so it's a fruitless endeavor. It didn't become this overnight, it gradually reached this nightmare point, and it's only going to get worse. If you have the patience/toleration to know that you may not be able to do everything, or not only are other players willing to cut your throat, but nexon is willing to abandon you at any moment, then that's your choice. But I feel as though players who choose that decision don't have a right to complain. This is common knowledge, it isn't some legendary treasure trove of information.I already financially dropped out of the game in mid-2010. I've already reached the point where I am about to quit the game whole. I already know that my words won't reach Nexon's ears.
