Gosh, it seems like everything maple dishes out is a disappoint to the majority. Makes me cry inside.[/COLOR]
This. At least it's something different.

Besides, new events are not better than useful events.

Yea... Old useless events, new useless events... What's wrong with wanting stuff that serves a purpose? Expiring items that's useless to begin with? No thx.

So. People complain because you can get an epic new attack belt that doesn't expire. People complain because you can get a great face equip that EXPIRES. People complain because they get not much. People complain because they can get stuff, but's hard to get. People complain because too many new quite useless hats that don't expire drop everywhere. People complain about EVERYTHING.
Enjoy the 3 to all free stats while it lasts, and go complain about wars, world hunger or something worth it.

I tihnk the problem, for me, is that I don't have a whole lot of time for MS. If the event gave out permanent items I could go on for a few hours, collect them, and use them later (did this with agent equips). When they expire in a month, or a week, or a day, why bother? I'm not going to need them or want them until I have enough time to play MS.
I guess the same could apply to NX, when they put out permanent items I actually bought a couple - not because I was active at the time (middle of fall term, yeah I'm busy) but because they'll be there when I want them.

The whole agent equips thing made me regret taking a break from maple.
But these events are pointless.

At least it's more pomegranate to do than grinding and whoring at Hen.
And even if other versions had it before us, it doesn't mean it isn't new.
It's new to people who don't play that version and it's still nice to try something different.
Expiring or not, it's better than nothing.

I don't think anybody complained about the attack belt. The complaint was Nexon's incompetence giving a select few an unfair advantage over the rest of the Maple population in regards of getting the belt.
I just think people are getting tired of the same trend
Halloween/Thanksgiving/Valentines/Christmas/etc Event:
Collect 10/25/50/etc pumpkins/turkeys/arrows/snows/etc
Get expiring +1/2/3 hat/nose/mask/etc
If we're gonna get filler patches, they should at least try to make them a bit more interesting in my opinion.

Look at me, I'm a Magician. 1 of our stat is nowhere near 1 of another's, but year after year Nexon fails to realise it.

Oh that. Well that doesn't count as belt complaining, more as Nexon not knowing their own mage class complaining, which we have been doing forever. I'm a bishop, I complain about this the whole time too (although lately I've just given up and just try to see the bright side, like not having to fight for area bosses every minute of every day to get dark coins XD)

More outlets for NX consumption = faster rate of NX being bought. This of course = profit.
Also, it lets "normal" players get their hands on NX if they try hard enough, which makes them play their game longer.

MTS also has a tax for a reason. NX doesn't just disappear...

So do these beads drop all the time or do you have to travel all the way to Malaysia to start the quest first?

I think it's safe to asume Gaga will be all over the place when the event starts after next server check.
Alloy Wrote:Murghurmderp, Defending events etc and so on Of course people will complain when events either serves no purpose (expiring items) or are poorly executed (ks war at areabosses over tokens after a major screw up of them droping at newts). 99% of the events tend to be aimed at the low lvl, of course we that overshoot the events usefullness with 150 lvls gonna whine. Agent event would be an example of an event that was kind of worth my time. Stereo made a good point about expiring stuff a few posts ago.
