Well, I got news for you: by playing MapleStory you are supporting Nexon. Even if you don't buy NX or use MTS.
Consider: you happen to find a valuable scroll that you can't use. What do you do with it? Well, obviously not MTS. What, then? Sell at FM entrance? Trade with random stranger? Gift to buddy? Regardless of what you do with it, you can't be sure the person who received the scroll from you won't MTS it, or MTS the item they scroll with it. So Nexon will get money from the scroll you found!
OK, so you say you'll destroy the scroll. NPC it for 1 meso. Now Nexon don't get anything, nyaaa nyaaa! But wait. By destroying this scroll, you are contributing to it rarity. Raising the price of its brethren in MTS. Oh nooo!
Do you have a buddy list? A guild? Presumably, these are people whose enjoyment of MapleStory is increased by your presence. Maybe if you quit, they'd lose interest in the game? And stop buying NX?
If you want to boycott Nexon, or cause them financial damage because of how they treated SP, you need to stop playing MapleStory. Or play it and hack, ks, and otherwise annoy people, so as to make many other players quit.
I can definatly see your point by even logging in I contribute to Nexon and to try to be on a moral high ground and enjoy the game is seemingly impossible.
I originally sought this topic to try and find a justification to indirectly fund Nexon (use MTS). I want the NX yet don't want Nexon to profit from my wants. I realize that my impact is low and boycotting is and always will be an exercise in futility. I might as well go start spending all my money at Wal-Mart...
BTW my buddy list is dead (only 2 chars on it that have gotten online in the last ~1yr.), my guild is dead I am the only person in the guild that logs in anymore (guild is full of mules/noobs/people that have left broa) and no one would care if I left maple.
