If it's paying for a service, the service being the ability to obtain special items (the cash shop) then couldn't that be considered a high-end service? A free account versus a premium account? Obviously they end up making more money than just charging a flat monthly fee of $10-$25 for access to this content. In my mind, they could argue that if ethics or legality was ever brought into the equation. It's definitely misrepresented by appearing to be a pay for goods type of thing. But I'm no lawyer or banker so I could be completely off base here.
The same concept applies even as a service. Literally when Nexon is marketing to you is an increase of an NX balance, which, again, is a worthless number with zero real world value. Even before you spend it on an item, the spendable NX you have is technically worthless by Nexon's own terms of service. Why am I being asked to pay for something with no value?
Oh, but then Nexon gets pissed if you try to steal NX by racking up a bunch of charges, then calling into the bank and reporting the card stolen so you don't have to actually pay for it.
