Events are supposed to be for everyone, not only nx users and the people who have enough mesos to spare on the event. These recent events have only allowed people with a significant amount of mesos or nx to participate.
Another thing to think about is that as the demand for nx increases, meaning the supply of items in MTS increases, nx's worth increases compared to mesos/items in maple, causing inflation since the real world cost of nx is always the same (change in the value of the dollar currently isn't significant with respect to maple, but that may change after the 2008 election, lol).
Fire and ice demon actually make archmages a pretty good class at killing crimson guardians. Lightning charge with advanced charge blow isn't THAT horrible since the paladin would constantly be hitting multiple monsters with such thick mobs at crimson guardians, but I agree paladins need a break. They should've at least been able to use advanced charge blow without a charge.

Judgment Wrote:Here's the problem with this idea though. The fact that some of the decisions NEXON has made with this game further shifts the classes when it comes to unbalance. Here's a few examples of this:
-When the Elemental Staves first came out, NEXON said that the lack of Elemental bonuses to it was intended, thereby causing Bishops to horde those staves. Even after NEXON reversed this decision, some of those Bishops still held on to their staves.
-September's Lunchbox, Red Katanas, and Stonetooth Sword made Sword specced Saders and WKs even more superior than BW/Axe, even when the formulas and Brandish (Two slashes, One stab, I believe.) were already screwed up to all hell. There is no actual BW/Axe counterparts when it comes to the Fast (4) 1-Handers and Fast (5) 2-Handers. Fusion Mace and Pig Illustrated are lowbie weapons, Lollipops aren't designed for combat, and the Lv. 120 Crushed Skull is still Normal (6) speed.
-Onyx Apples made shifts to the game that affected everyone as a whole. Mainly that CBs aren't wanted for MEing Zakum anymore, Hermits getting a HUGE advantage over the other classes, and Mages getting the least benefit out of them. (Heck, some Archmages/WK are still forced to buy their Z-helms and skills because no one will take them.)
At this rate, I would expect NEXON to just flatout ban certain classes from participating in these events, just because nobody cares about those Black Sheep.
