Thing is, Nexon knows our opinions and suggestions. That interview with the guy belittling our fears of pay2win proves it.
Their old model was the "grocery store" model: thousands of customers, almost all of which buy something - even if only using food stamps - each giving a tiny profit. Right now Nexon is working on a "jewelry store" model: few people come in, fewer still buy anything, but the ones that do give a huge profit each.
Unless you can prove to them, in hard numbers, that returning to the grocery store model will increase their overall profits, they will not change. "I know lots of people who quit because of pay2win" is hardly proof.
Similarly for every other change we've suggested, from shared cash shop storage to prompt ticket handling: They know we want it; they seem to believe it will harm their bottom line; I doubt any of us has any way to prove to them that it won't.
Go ahead and try if you want. Just don't tell them what they've already heard and discarded, try to come up with proof. ("95% of Maple players polled agree this is a good idea" is not proof. Just because something is good for the players doesn't necessarily mean it's good for Nexon's bottom line).
