Do you honestly still think Nexon is the greedy company stealing money from players?

Tell your friend he has absolutely no life.

Also lol at Dusk for calling me biased when you folks are of the nice FREE GAME PALS who have torch-and-pitchfork reactions to everything that makes a game "not free", which includes any method of making extra money on occasion. I'm sorry, I guess you just want nexon to be buried under the ground every time they try bringing another game under the nexon america lineup and fail to generate interest each time. I guess you want them to never have another game ever because they have to break even or it's evil.

That was my entire point to begin with. Too many people have the mind that nexon is corrupt and evil and shouldn't be making money or shouldn't be making money on items that provide an advantage and all this other pie-in-the-sky idealistic bullshit. What's worse? Someone that can only make money through extraneous items and does so effectively, or someone who slaps another texture on an existing model and charges you $25 for it on top of a subscription fee? I don't even want to hear about what company does what. It's the same for all games. Nexon America's idea of microtransactions is VERY common among MMOs. I don't care if they're permanent in Korea. That's not the way it is with every other game either. I don't want to hear that Nexon is an uncaring coprorate entity. That's every company, whether they make it obvious or not. I don't want to hear about customer support. Nobody truly pays for customer support. You pay to keep the employees paid and the servers running. How those employees make their paycheck varies wildly from region to region, company to company, game to game.

What we are talking about HERE, in THIS thread, is who is being sneakier about getting more money from you. If you still say it's Nexon, you are a tool. Last time I checked, Nexon didn't sell you pointless palette swaps for $25 or anything.

Woo! Had to get on this one. Let me start off, southperry is full of more mature, logical players here and therefore would like to keep the atmosphere at a higher than freshman in high school level. This isn't basilmarket, or sleepywood, full of ignorant trolls who could out dictionary your ass clear out of the water, so if you want a discussion, at least be tolerable and be able to handle critism.

As for your silly topic which has no grasp of why the general older player community claims nexon's corruptions. As dusk said, nexon bases their entire fondation on microtransactions that in some shape or form involve gambling, if it has to do something in game. That or its something you cant keep for more than 90 days. Unlike wow who charges $45 in 90 days, but also don't have game breaking items to purchase outside of the down payment, such as this silly horse you speak of. Yes we all understand nexon is a company, but for you to imply that nexon is trying to break even just shows how much research you've done on this topic, none. You can apologize for your ignorance on the subject later but nexon currently holds the largest profit in a recession of all time. I assume specifically in MMO's. But let's see if you can stop acting like a Johava's witness and look in our shoes a lil bit and hopefully have your head wrap around it.

As stated in my earlier paragraph, nexon is a comapny that makes a fairly large marginal profit. Nothing in the game is necessary, but nothing including the internet you're using to try to talk to players, or rather, shove down their throats with a condencending tone "I'm right, you're wrong!", is necessary except food, water and shelter. So that argument is pitiful and not very well thought out. Now to continue on this, would it kill nexon to make event items that are tradeable? Items accessable outside of gacha, obviously harder, but an option none the less? Maybe 2x events every weekend? Maybe 3 times a week? How about 2x cards that last for shorter period of times? It's all gone to the same centerpoint, nexon is inconsiderate of it's customers wants because hell why do they care they're making money! That is an attribute of greed, they aren't struggling. What about the dc hack thats been around for almost 2 years by this point? I could tell them how to fix it in less than 40 seconds.

Nexon's made it clear they care more about their cashshop than the game itself. Now you can sit here and argue blue in the face butbut they need to worry about making money!. Well sir, I'm sure nexon won't go bankrupt if they release permanent CS items more than once a year, to make ap resets cheaper, making alternatives to the 2x cards, and keeping the players that this game is intended for and keeping a free aspect of the game. Unfortunatly I don't know many 12-15 year old's with credit cards which nexon seems to care about. Hell lowering the value of nx in game would be a great asset too.

The only free about this game is making a character, pqing and training. Nexon didn't intend for someone to get to 200 without nx, hell to 150 without nx. To get to 199-200 on 1x would take 2 months at least. That maybe alright for you that it isnt a standard option, but I think anyone can safely agree that nexons profit is marginal enough for them to make some sacrfices to keep the players happy and as you stated in multiple forms, the players are generally not happy with the decisions.
