It's nature at it's finest. Don't bother bringing any of this crap "little kids taking their parents credit cards."That's not the discussion at all. The question if we like it or not is irrelevant if the law states it is not legit, it will be removed. We're thinking of what nexon would decide to replace it with. Noone said "omg cubes suck they have to go".
Some of you literally only have a problem with these systems, cause you can't make much use out of it. I said some, btw, for those that can't read, and I'm not pointing out anyone specific. It's true though. Anyone that does have access to it, and is complaining, it's because they haven't had the right luck with these systems.
Untill now: Cubes suck, really. And this is why: I don't mind paying for something, but I do mind paying without knowing I will have the desired effect. Moments ago I bought 4 premium cubes. My item was still 2 lined afterwards! I feel scammed and regret buying NX... Is that what you want a customer to feel after a purchase as a company? Yes I would be happy if one of them had worked, but not more happy than buying a 10k NX 100% 3L converter item. The problem is there is a (big) possibility you end up spending loads of money for something you want or end up with nothing because you're out of credits. Gambling is NOT a good business model for any company IMO. Certainly not for a "kids game".
PS: By the way, there IS a way in which everybody wins. They have to remove all cash shop items that provide power and only keep vanity/utility/ease items. This includes for sure, cubes and hammers. To not render existing items either useless or overpowered, they could for example become available in stores for say 50 and 200m. Then they just need to improve their overall quality of the game, so lot's of new people join every day, and they will buy the items because they want to, not because they need to. They would probably feel a large dent in their profits applying this, but this could be filled for example with "expansion packs". Basically it would mean victoria is the "free" area. If you want to got to ossyria, you'd have to unlock it with a onetime (per account) fee. Same could be done for Ariant, ludus lake and leafre. This would mean a steady income and motivation to keep the games quality high so they attract alot of new players. Voila, everybody happy
Not going to happen though, because the game is too old to suddenly change this drastically, it would destroy it. Can't wait for Guild Wars 2 though, which seems to apply this perfectly.PPS: Eh. Sorry for kinda offtopic wall of text >_<
