What are we smoking?

I personally have never paid a single cent to Nexon. I don't care for the advantages of NX because I play for fun. Who needs a stupid hat that doesn't change gameplay at all? Who needs to megaphone spam to annoy people? It's stupid. Who even needs a 2x card (because let's be honest, you're buying levels and not freeing up your time since you purposely play to fully utilize the card). Leveling up faster would only serve to make the game less fun due to the ridiculous exp curve...

I've never had any issues with the service because, luckily, I've never needed it. If I did, I probably would have gotten screwed over and would have subsequently moved on. That would mean nothing really lost and I was entertained for a long time, which is all I can really ask for from a game...

Then again, my views on the game differ from the vast majority of the people that play it. I've been playing since beta and I'm not even 4th job yet so that should tell you how seriously I take this game The ratio of entertainment to disposable income the game offers is extremely good for me because that's dividing by 0 As such, MS is my "fall-back" game when there's no other games on the market that I think warrant a purchase. I used to do the same thing with MUDs.

Anyway, nice post.
