Apparently, someone at Nexon America really doesn't want people soloing Pap twice a day (or at all?)
You only get the crack quest once a day, even though you can enter Pap's room twice a day.
Recall that once upon a time, Cracks were ordinary items, not requiring storage shenanigans to stack them up?
Then they changed it to one-of-a-kind, and I suppose they thought that "solved" the "problem" of people soloing twice a day.
Recently they must have noticed it wasn't solved. Maybe it was the noise the high-level community made about sources of exp, including Pap. Nexon saw that people were still farming cracks and selling them in stacks, and people were still able to solo twice a day.
They tried to "fix" it themselves by making cracks untradeable. A simple change, just one flag, they thought they didn't need Nexon Korea to help with that.
The results were as we know them to be.
Now, they don't want to just change back, because we would be going to back to solo Pap twice a day (those of us who could be bothered to go from LHC to Ludi for it, anyway). So I expect they are now waiting for Nexon Korea to come up with a more complicated solution, such as change Pap to expedition form that you can't lead more than once a day (and incidentally prevent people from entering while others are inside)?
All speculation, I know, but that's how it looks to me.
