Get Your Hands on Vicious' Hammer!

Easy to say for someone who has a lot of money to spend on NX. Can I not at least have equips that come even close to my peers? I'd like to upgrade my gear and not have the cheapest option be BUY pomegranate TON OF NX.

And I really don't want to hear the "lolol but NX is free because MTS" crap. That's still opportunity cost, and you're still paying NEXON.

I resent that highly - I've played for going on 3 years now, and only the most recent few months have been with a lot of NX. I spent the first 2 years having absolutely horrible gear, but I still enjoyed the game. I could care less even now if my gear is average, above, or below - I'll improve it where I can, when I can, and enjoy the game regardless. If you can't enjoy the game because your gear is below average, that's YOUR fault, not Nexon's. Nothing about the hammer makes your old gear any less useful.
