Exchanging Meso for Maple Points

What do you think the pros and cons would be if Nexon introduced an NPC that allowed you to exchange Meso for Maple Points at a flat rate of say 10mill meso for 1k Maple points?

Or more in keeping with NexonAM it was a Maple Point Slotmachine Gachapon that gave out random amounts of Maple Points ranging from 1k-10k Maple Points for your 10mill "investment".


It would be a nice Meso sink and since MaplePoints cant be used in the MTS as it requires prepaid cards it wouldnt affect it to much...would it?

They would make no sales.

There needs to be a daily cap on it, something like 50k Maple Points per day. Then to prevent abuse of alternative characters, a global cap of 20m Maple Points per server.

If Nexon can stop meso exploits/farmers for good, then this would be a plausible idea in my opinion. Otherwise, it'd be like free NX-land.

But it'd also have to be like maxed meso for 1,000 maple points or something.

They would give us the NX Trading Room before they do this.

What you are describing is allowing people to buy Cubes, and Pets, and Gach Tickets, and AP Resets, and everything else in the cash shop, for meso. In other words, for free, as far as Nexon is concerned.

NX Trading Room lets players sell Cash Shop items to other players for meso. That really is no loss to Nexon, since every Cube sold in that room for meso was bought in Cash Shop for NX, that someone at some point paid real-world money for.

I'm just wondering why so cheap?

1bil for 1k! Makes total sense considering people seem to have 40-50+ bil from nowhere.

Well that was the NX rate once. A long, long time ago...

Actually it was 1:1 you could buy a smega for one mil, But this isnt back when nx is new there are new ways to get mesos/actual uses for nx now. You can create 10m in about an hr so.....

Nexon seems to think that's still the rate, if you look at their (non random) Meso Bag prices...

would never work, especially with the massive amount of botters we got.

bot one day, get 100k of nx worth of NXgacha, cube, bot some more.

10m is way too cheap. It would have to be 50m at least. Less than 40m/kNX would be, as other people said, like free NX.
In all it'd be a terrible idea for nexon as a company. Players are buying stuff that should bring in money, without paying them, so it's basically lost money for them.

A better idea would be simply making cash shop items tradeable with other players for mesos. That way all items in the CS are still bought by real cash, so there's no lost profit.

Just make some changes to the items in the cash shop. Make it where you need prepaid NX to buy the more valuable stuff, cubes, pets, pam's songs, shielding wards. But still allow you to get stuff like clothes, resets, faces, stuff like that.

Since when aren't resets valuable stuff?

Also, if you make Maple Points only useful for cosmetic Cash Shop items, you instantly make their use as rewards in web events, or as compensation for major foul-ups, meaningless.
If Nexon want to make cosmetic items available for large sums of meso, they can do that directly, either through an NPC in-game or by making a "meso" payment option in cash shop itself (you can already buy some 1 meso items in cash shop, for various quests, so the mechanism is there).

Since when aren't resets valuable stuff?

Not AS valuable. Plus, something good besides clothing should be able to be bought with MP if this change were to ever happen.

I would like to have this, but realistically, we'd get cash shop trading before this happened.

Honestly, I think that people would buy more NX if they were allowed to sell it for mesos. I mean they're already doing it, so why not just implement a fair and legitimate way instead of having potential players scammed.

I mean, seriously: OMG I WANT THAT CS EFFECT, BUT NO NX!!! *rage*

ohhey, I can get that for you! that's XX mil!- cash shop trade room- can visibly see the meso amount and the cash item. The only way to scam now is the typical: ZOMG Trade faster nub!!!!11! *insert fake amount that looks like the real thing*

You could limit it to 10k MP a day, or every 3 days, or a week per account or something. I'm sure there would be a reasonable way to bring something like this to the game without adverse consequences.

1) An exploit could happen.
2) Loss of money.

Which means improved popular opinion of the company. Exchanging is good for the economy, it's good for those who can't buy NX, and it's good for Nexon's image leading to new players.

Not really. New players know no way to get millions of meso, either. It would seem like Nexon is laughing in their faces. "Yeah, loot a zillion coins manually 'til you get enough meso for a pet and meso magnet."

..?
That's not the point.
If someone sees that what people spend real money on can be obtained without spending money, new people will be attracted by this. This is how games should run.
