The Disaster in Japan, How We Can All Help

Actually, it seems more like Realism vs Idealism.
In an idea world, Nexon could be trusted with your flimsy "I want to believe" excuse, but this is reality. Not everyone is "good" and you need a stronger reason than simply belief. I mean, I could believe as hard as I could that Bush was the greatest president in the world, but would that change the fact that he got us into illegal wars, ordered the illegal detainment and torture of countless people, etc. Just like how I could believe as hard as I could that nexon hasn't wronged me and are good, but that wont change all the lies and wrongful acts they have commited.

My "flimsy" excuse is all I need. You claim that nexon isn't to be trusted. I can agree that they have done some things that aren't good, I know they have. I've been screwed over plenty of times by Nexon in the past, the adventurer rings being the prime example, and when I lost $20 in cubes during the rollbacks. And yet I still feel obligated to believe them now, you wanna know why? Not because I'm an idealist, I know theres some f'ucked up people in this world, but because I feel that people, when faced by a catastrophe such as Japan, feel a moral obligation to do good and to help them. That's not idealism my friend, that is optimism at it's finest.

You do realize the merit of this so-claimed stupid argument Sarah brought up, do you not? However slim the chance/amount, it DID manage to increase the awareness of a couple tens of Southperrians and correspondingly the fund going to Japan. That, or less revenue for Nexon from unknowing people, which is ALSO to my liking.

I presume there is no use arguing morals. At the end of the day, rape could very well be a natural thing for the person next to you. What can be done should be done. The question is: Is it or is it not worthwhile to actually inform the idiotic mass of the scam they are subject to?
What practical good does it do? Probably none. If someone were about to cash out their week's allowance for cubes, but then learn that it's not going to Japan. What do they do?
A/ Go for the cubes anyway, as that's what they want and the "sense" of possessing them is already in their head. It's hard to resist.
B/ Save the money. Why buy things you didn't want to begin with? If they wanted to donate, it wouldn't have mattered whether Nexon included the Game tab or not.

I personally find it unjust that this kind of thing happens and is acceptable to so many people. But overall, they've done more good than harm, even if they trick the players into buying twice the donation amount through GAME items.

I know precisely what sarah's argument is. However, what I fail to see is, how is Nexon tricking anyone? Anyone who reads this announcement should read the whole thing, in which they will see that the game tab is excluded from this event. Now we have 3 types of people.

A: The people who want to buy cubes and don't care about helping Japan/would rather help through means of direct donation to an organization. Their choice is obvious.
B: The people who are buying nx for the sole reason of donation to Japan. Their choice is obvious, buy something that's not in the game tab. If they have read the announcement, which they should have, then they would know this as it is pretty clear.
C: The people who want cubes, but also want to help Japan. Their choice is more difficult, they have to decide if they want to do the moral thing or the greedy thing. They have a few options, buy the cubes, support japan through means of other nx items, or support japan through means of direct donation.

I don't see how any of the above scenarios have tricks in them. The only trick there is is if you failed to read the announcement, but then you are at fault. Am I correct?
