Speed cap is Faster(2)

There are also a few business motives behind this.

The original place where skills get developed has a very different setting to GMS. A fast(0) NL is very different to a fast(2) NL. What considered "balanced" there isnt the case in GMS due to the settings. So to fill NL's ego, they need to stay on apples. Apples require you to be married (or others to be married to sell apples).

/facepalm.

I get really, REALLY tired of all these cynical views of Nexon. It seems like in every thread talking about a glitch, an exploit, or anything unfair in the game somebody says "That won't get fixed cuz nexon'll lose money"

Here's what would happen. If they removed the speed cap, then NLs would get a damage boost, sure, but since a majority of GMS only cares about big numbers, apples would still stay at the same price, because even though NLs will have better damage they will always want more.
