Would you survive without NX?

Hmm, I'd most likely survive. Probably wont be as motivated to train without 2x since I'm used to it, so it would take a little longer. Nexon also has horrible event times for me. With the new range of hair/face when creating a character, I could possibly survive without nx clothes but I'd rather not. Something I'd definitely need is a store permit though.

Way back in the day, I got to 18x without 2x cards on my bishop, this includes grinding to 16x as a priest. I finally bought 2x once the 4 hour cards were released - I had no time for the 10/30 day cards so that's why I did not purchased them. I had a pet which was given to me by a guildie (no pouch, magnet) when I was a noob & revived it during the release of 4th job when I was 16x. But I started to buy cosmetics & clothes at 10x/11x because my RL friend bought some NX & offered to buy for me too

sorry to tell you this but they removed those cards, so your dreams of leveling and becoming "pro" have been crushed.
