I don't really see a moral issue with spending NX. Yes I hiked up my NX usage since the first time I started playing, but it's fine with me. You know what's a bigger ripoff than NX? Paying for lunch when I can get it for minimal money at home making it myself. 
I mean really. I used to average ~40-50 bucks a week on lunch, mostly fast food related. I'd rather make a healthy lunch at home thank you very much after realizing what I've been eating as well as how much I was putting in a week.
I'm getting off tangent though. For me, I am already cheap enough other than preferring to make my own lunch. I download ROMs and M3 80% of my DS games... I probably spent ~400-500 bucks over the course of Maple (over ~3 years). It's not as bad as WoW though. I probably spent 600-700 bucks on subscriptions alone. I only kept playing because of friends and time. Now I'm having less time for WoW because of school and no one I know IRL plays anymore; also, when I Wow I WOW (minimum of ~2 hours every time I play). Since I can't really do that anymore, it's back to MS.
*Ugh, got off course again. My point being is just that I think one might have to reconsider the game they're playing if they're looking at the fact they want to play for free, yet despite the opportunity to be able to enjoy other aspects of the game without spending a single dollar in real life (MTSing for NX) they choose not to because it means supporting the company. So you are in a way boycotting Nexon by not using NX, yet you also play their game?
