RED micro-site now out!

Not really.

If you look at it this way, those two shops are events. They are here for a limited time then go away. Thus having a dramatic impact on the game while they are here, but eventually their effects wear off.

Mileage, by what I have seen and read [I am not master on this subject by far] is a permanent way to make the game less p2w/ Don't you think they would like to advertise that a permanent addition was added to remedy such a significant issue?

But hey, thats what I would do. Maybe their PR department is just terrible at choosing what parts to put, I don't know.

No you don't understand. The fact that these shops are events give hope that similar generosity will happen in the future. I guarantee nothing like those shops has ever happened before, much less southperrians actually praising nexon for such kindness. Not a conscious effort to compensate for if we don't get mileage, but they definitely are trying to address the p2w concern through the RED shop. (otherwise cubes wouldn't be there, limits or not)

But yes, regardless of events mileage needs to happen.
