1. Again, Nexon cannot force you to buy into this
2. ALL of these items in the shop eventually come back at the regular prices
3. NEXON ISN'T FORCING YOU TO BUY INTO THIS
Jesus christ, can you guys knock this stupid crap off about "baiting" players or them being scumbags? Yeah, the guardians and shields specifically are only available through this method AT THE MOMENT, but you are ALL completely and perfectly aware of the black friday coin shop that supplies the shields coming on the 13th. You are all aware that the guardians MUST eventually be re-released in the CS at their normal price. What's the damn rush? We've all been begging and pleading for the scrolls, but when it boils down to it, you are not going to die without these scrolls and/or items. God forbid a company try to give its customers extra incentive to buy their products.
If you don't like it, don't buy it. That simple.
What is coercion?
What are exploitative business practices?
The issue I take here is that this "event" is targeted solely on the whales. Some people are already throwing most of their paycheck into the cash shop, and this event is a reward for this self-destructive behavior, and maybe a reason to throw even more money in.
