"Technically" the "Cash Shop will not affect gameplay" is still a valid statement, because "technically" you can sell in game items for NX, and then use said NX in the cash shop. So "technically" everything in MS "can" still be "free".
The concept behind MTS is definitely a noble one, but with the recent change in taxing on the MTS, you surely cannot ascertain Nexon's in it to help their customers. Their announcement stated it was to crack down on people using MTS as storage, but in reality, what does it really do to affect those people?
All it really does is take more NX out of the MTS economy. People selling things using this mechanism can gain more than they would normally, but on the same tact the people buying things from MTS spend a good bit more than they did before. Each transaction takes a little bit of NX out of the game, and it ensures that a given player will run out more quickly than they would with the old tax rate. If anything, it's a ploy to encourage more people to buy cash cards. Ignoring this strategy would be gross negligence. It's glaringly obvious.
