While MS has a host of problems already mentioned...I still play regardless because:
1) I need a stress-reliever for when I am at home and want a break from studying. In a very intense academic program, mindless grinding or just hopping in for like an APQ is a nice way to get away from stressers and take my mind off things. I admit sometimes the breaks drag out longer than I intend, but I still do well enough in school (university, not high school).
2) I recently hit fourth job and love the skills that are becoming available to me. =)
3) The friends I have made counter the uglier bits of the MS community. Why waste any energy getting angry at an idiot anyway? =)
Oh, and I do use NX, and I have used 2x cards specifically to save me time when I was training to get to 4th job. I don't even usually grind the full 4 hours because I only had so much time (this was during the summer), so it's not like I was forcing myself to stay longer.
I have complained about Nexon lots, yet I continue to charge NX. But I feel like at times I am even more disappointed because I've charged so much money into my account, and, for example, get banned temporarily for leveling too fast x_x. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I think addiction to this game overrides what criticisms I have. =/
In the end, I think I just play regardless of all the shortcomings because I still have fun playing. ^^
