Discrimination

But the average maple doesnt have mesos to burn to continually convert to NX and will never be able to compete with people who will happily fork over to buy 100's of keys and quite likely max their mesos (or higher). That is the divide that is going to happen. Those rich will be able to get richer (and exponentially so). I would not have a problem with this normally if Nexon themselves hadnt made such a big deal over the years of claiming those who don't purchase NX will never suffer a disadvantage over those who do.

They could if they wanted to. It's all about choice. Train a char to lvl 40 then go hunt something that is easy to get and makes good nx in mts. Like dark cloud foxtails, mation tenticals, etc... Perferably a monster no one wants to hunt but you need a whole bunch of etc drops for a quest. Simply sell 800 of those and buy a store permit. Naturally a store permit puts one ahead in meso aquisition. After that start it's just a merchanting cycle, buy low sell high, buy for mesos, buy for nx, sell where it's the most profitable. There is no reason to purchase nx anymore unless one is too lazy to hunt & merchant.

Personally I think this event is awsome. You don't need nx at all, chests are tradable if you don't want to open them then just sell them. =D Horray for tradable event items!
