RED Coin Shop: Upcoming Tumblr Event

Not really. RED coins are the easiest coins to farm in the entire history of the game. The fact that playing zero gives 500 coins alone makes that true, and that's more than enough to max out your cubes/prots for your account/character. Unless you're going to argue that playing zero and getting 500 coins isn't something the average player can do, which straight up isn't true.

And from nexon's perspective and logic, thousands less free cubes is thousands more not free cubes sold.

I'm not saying that RED coins are hard to get, and the coins gotten from levelling a Zero would be more than enough for the average player (and the coins from the red tickets given out so far).

But I don't think the prices should be hiked up because certain people are abusing the system to get tens-of-thousands of coins, because then everyone will get less for their coins, including the people who can't get as many coins as others who abused it.

Just because the coins are easier to get doesn't mean the prices should be increased to account for cheaters.

The best and most obvious counter to all this would be to have item limits, which undoubtadly we will have (Nexon is not going to give us thousands of free cubes)
