Nexon is merely saying "Get them while they last". Not once did they mention the numbers or figures they are outputting, people are fooling themselves into believing otherwise.
If they are indeed planning on putting up 10 sale items per server, then yes, by hiding that piece of information they are trying to gain our confidence.
Why? Because doing the opposite has exactly the opposite effect, people lose confidence in their chances of purchase and ending up not buying NX.
Let's think this through from Nexon's perspective:
Do we know the quantity on sale? Yes.
Did we publish that information? No.
Why not?
a/ Oh it totally didn't strike me as necessary. I mean, after all, we are not doing anything unexpected, are we? Why should I include a piece of information that would be at best self-evident?
b/ It's tradition! Nobody does and everyone likes an adrenaline rush when buying stuff.
c/ Because unlike at the stores where the customers can turn away in disappointment for not getting their stuff (while keeping their money safe), once they've purchased our NX to participate in the sale, they're hooked in, we can take that money for less goods once the sale is over, which it already is.
If you can think of any other reasons/motives as to why this happened, feel free to add in and we can see where this goes. With the above three though, I'm confident we have a pretty clear winner.
