FM Courtesy

That's true, some items are tradeblocked. However, those items are the common ones where if one world has x number more, there would be a misbalance between the worlds.

The search option isn't flawed. You just have to look through them, and really if you're not searching for something like a def. scroll, you only have to look through the first few pages because the pages get progressively expensive. (The good deals are picked off and the bad ones die to the back, similar to how threads work in a forum.)

Yet, I feel it somewhat annoying to run through 19 pages of 70% scrolls before I see a 30% scroll, you get me? heh. At least this is what happened for me.

Generally, if you'd want to visit ALL the shops, it'd take a long time. This is why there are priority of spots, where you'd want to visit something in CC1 more than CC15. As I said, if you know where to look, it shouldn't take you all that long.

I want to find the best deal on the item, so I go through all fm-shops. No pineappleing way I'll go pay 30 mill for a 30% scroll in fm 1.

Then you are playing for the wrong reason if all you're going to do is compare yourself to others. Although this is true of everyone to a certain extent, if all you care about is others' opinions, you will have a very difficult time having fun.

I didn't state that people has to compare themselves with someone else, though this is the fact for levelers. Playing a game is about achieving something, getting a reward for being able to do something. Whether it be playing with your friends in a party quest or being known as the best player on the server, it's still about achieving something. The only reason you wouldn't, is because you're going on to talk with someone, and then I'd just say you should go on msn instead, since it lags less. lol

Then it'd exclude everyone who has parents who do not agree to children playing games, and as a result, you'd have an older audience. Really this idea isn't the case with maple, because it's content is AIMED solely at a common teenager, as they would be the most likely to become addicted to the NX system.

I always thought that parents who do not agree to children playing games wouldn't accept MapleStory either. (You meant paying for it, right?)
Say it costs 10 dollars per month, and you're able to buy 10-dollar cards at Target. Then most people would most likely be able to go buy these 10-dollars cards, even kids. Though it would be less interesting to play from the beginning, maybe try out some sort of 30/60/90-day free test coupons. Nexon would get a better customer support, and will most likely be able to fix bugs and glitches more efficiently. And the hacker problem will be fixed.

Though yeah, a lot of people would have to quit maple, and a lot of people would complain in the beginning. I don't know whether Nexon would earn on this or not.

I have never heard what Graham has to say about Craig's List, but customer satisfaction directly corresponds to the amount of money a company will make. Thus it'd make sense for a company to comply with a customer's interests, especially when it faces competition.

That being said, Craig's List faces competition from a variety of other websites, while Nexon faces competition from almost no other game, just based on its form of advertising and 2d gameplay alone. That's why they have less to offer in terms of customer service.

Still, a good company would focus on happy customers, customers that return. They would as well focus on a good image. Whether you have competitors or not is irrelevant really, as you should gain more customers in this way anyway.

Then state your intentions... I have no problem with people saving for friends, but from what the person said to me, it was not the case. As mentioned above though, it is impossible to prove or disprove now as the FM has shifted since yesterday.

Ah, okay. Well, it's just mean to state "ahahah, no spot4u", but I'd say, if I see a spot free and I take it, "sorry, I didn't see you being here earlier". Now, if there's a spot free if I move, I'd still be scared to do it due to scammers and tricksters.

I suppose you would have a higher chance of selling out, but then again, if a person's really going to go that far to search, he/she would search more than just your FM room.

Contradicts with this:

[quote=Harrisonized]We all care about others' opinions to a certain extent. The extent though, is what is important. To you, maybe you care that you're known as a nice pro, but is image the sole purpose of talking to people you don't know? Or rather should you be driven to respond because you really are nice, and not because you want to appear nice?Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. I hope it is the first.

There isn't a set of laws saying what's "right" and what's "wrong". Rather, there are many interpretations. Otherwise lawyers would not have jobs.

Well, written laws may be blurry at times. But if you kill some random person in Wall Street, you're going to be penalized for it no matter what. If you don't pay your taxes, it will have consequences.

We pay our taxes because the government is the one fixing the roads in front of our homes and the one constructing building plans, running the city, ect. Otherwise, these community projects would not be accomplished and we'd probably be driving on dirt roads. If you're sitting back and enjoying the benefits while other people are paying your taxes, would you not have a guilty conscience?

We pay our taxes because it's morally right, not because we think about the economics. The economics is the reason behind the tax-system, that's correct. However, this is not why a person agrees to pay taxes. It's because it's morally right. (Sigh, wish I could explain it better)

If some charity comes at your door asking for money, you can either say yes or no, because both are morally right.
