First, I have no problem with Nexon earning money, that was never an issue.
Second, I'm mostly a person that would rather pay $50 for a game upfront then never have to pay again rather than have to pay incrimentally even if I get bored of the game 2 months after I get it and would have spent way less in that amount of time on the incrementally based game because with the $50 years down the road if i ever wanted to give it a go again I could without having to restart paying. Also I tend to break it down mentally to I payed x amount/hr of gameplay and if I happened to not play the game as much (took a week break) on a monthly charge game I feel that I have "wasted" that week's worth of money. (IE I pay 30 bucks a month for something thats $1/day so if I stoped playing for a week I just threw away $7 although not a big amount its still throwing money away cause I didn't take full advantage of it)
Third, morality may have been a strong word, I probably should have used "Justifications for using NX".
Fourth, I do see using MTS as indirectly profiting nexon as someone had to put that money initially into circulation and if they choose to buy your item and then spend more money to replace the NX they used its even more of an influence.
Beyond that I feel that once the money leaves your control you shouldn't be held responsible for what the final outcome is. By me using MTS I may or may not extend the profits of Nexon but as I have no control over people or the NX that I don't possess myself I can't say for sure my impacts on the system.
Hopefully others may take a second look and pause a moment to think before they act and thus become more aware of the far reaching implications of their simple decision whether or not they use MTS/NX. Its not a simple black and white, "I don't buy NX myself so I'm not supporting Nexon", its more "I don't buy NX myself so I possibly support Nexon indirectly".
I just hope that even though Southperry is a great community and all that people remember that Nexon did target us/Fiel as having a negative impact on them and their potential profits and knocked the community down a few pegs.
