Will gach, cubes etc. soon become illegal?

Wouldn't that make the potential system even more OP and literally divide the game between meso-maplers and NX-maplers? :f6:

Actually, it would be impossible to be a NXless mapler anymore. Meso would become completely useless, people would buy and sell stuff via MTS.

Not entirely. Like I said, right now the whole system is based around who can throw more money at the game than others. The DFO system could easily make it so you pay like 15-20k NX for a 27% unique item or some crap and call it a day.
Even then, mesos are already an utter joke. You can essentially hit Meso cap in a week or two and then just throw all that currency at the MTS and buy your potential choice of stats from there.

Also, unless you give two pomegranates about Maple, you're going to be spending NX one way or another. The term "F2P" has long been gone for the "Serious" players.

Yes, that was my entire point. You can exchange real money for NX, and NX for real money. How is it not effectively the same thing? NX is an inferior store of value compared to cash because you have to use the intervening transaction to use it for things outside of game, but that doesn't mean it's not measurable in real money.

Real money that little kids are gambling away in horrifying quantities with absolutely no oversight or regulation whatsoever.

I was talking about Mesos vs NX, not NX vs NX :f6:
