  Not that it makes that big of a difference, but I think most Nexon games were marketed towards the younger audience. It IS summer after all, and most students are either going outside and having fun, going to summer school for various reasons, or staying home and playing a game hosted by one of the [S]best[/S] companies. I think (just personally), that over the past year, Nexon has added too many events that grant AP potions, that it has made the game MUCH easier and convenient to the newer players (free pets/easy, good accessible items/ap potions). I actually enjoyed the game when it was a CHALLENGE to get to level 100. The players who stayed on longer and grinded received more than the ones who didn't. I know for a fact most players can get above level 90 without playing more than 3 hours everyday.

  
  
  That's if your goal is level 100.
  
  You can still reap many benefits if you continue to grind. Change your goal to 120-130 or something.

  That's just the nature of MMO's. It's part of trying to get new players to join and possibly become paying customers.
  
  You want to be better than the easy level 100's, then aim for Level 200 each rebirth. That should be more than a challenge.

  
  
  Well, saying I took it easy for quite I while and got to level 145.. it's quite possible I can get to 200. I'm not even 2k total yet. It just shows how easy Nexon has made it to level with all the events that have increased exp gain. I remember last year, there were only a few events that were actually beneficial. Although I AM glad that after Scath Beach made its way over here, there are more than one way of gaining experience.

  You get superannuation and savings money from getting a job and buying reforges with NX, at a faster rate of getting reforges then ingame money.
  
  100 fine reforges @ 300k each is 30m. I don't know about you and your secret money making methods, but I sure as hell can earn 100 bucks from working at minimum wage faster then I can make 30m.

  
  
  Yep, 30m. Let's just say, having made like 30 accounts to hold my random items/ore/etc pays off when there's certain types of event active.
  
  Once I hit 30m, buying/reselling has made me a lot of money. On top of that, I've got a giant stock of tailoring mats and sewing patterns that I can make and sell. Just been too lazy lately.

  Can bet you it took more than 8 hours of work to get that though.
  People laugh at others who spend their money, yet it is highly efficient and encouraged to do so.
  
  
  Hell eweca gach proved that, and STILL proves it.

  You're telling me. I buy Eweca Gach every rebirth.

  Like I said, it took me about 3 hours or so every day to make that much money over a two week period or so.

  Or I could just spend $100 and sell the fine reforges to get the same amount of money with less work (I don't have a lot of life skill ranks to back up the thing you're doing)

  Like i said, still more efficient to actually work and sell off the money, because at least you arent actually hardcore working for 8 hours.
  At least in my job i work for a good 3-4 hours and then do other things to pass the tome or assist in minor tasks.
  
  mabinogi is more work than actually going to a job, the only difference is that it is a game

  Life skills aren't all that profitable.
  Unless you play off of other people's greed

  I worked at Walmart (8.40/hr) for a month and my first paycheck was 300 dollars for 2 weeks of work.
  
  With that money, I could translate that to about 50m in gold depending on how I do it. It would take me a half a year to a year to make that from scratch ingame. Sure I'm not great at making money, but if I worked that hard I could net 1-2m a week. Grinding mabi gold is not efficient in terms of time to reward.
  
  If your job gives you 100 dollars or more in dispoable income per month, you win Mabinogi.
  
  Grinding gold for what you want in Mabi is only logical if you're unemployed or make too little money to sink 50-100 dollars a month into it. And no, 50-100 a month isn't unreasonable, people spend way more on their hobbies than that.

  50~100 a month isn't unreasonable, no. But if you're spending 30% of your paycheck on games, that is unreasonable (to me anyways.) Either way, I never said that making gold is necessarily more efficient. (Though, once you reach a certain point, you make your money work for you and you can make gold without much effort.)
  
  But, I would much rather save money or spend it on something less evanescent - I may decide I want to quit some day, or Mabi might be taken down. Even if it doesn't, it feels a lot better, to me, to have spent in-game money rather than real money. I'd rather put those $1200 a year towards a down payment for a house, or for a new car than to spend it on a company that I detest for the most part.
  
  
  
  
  Getting back on track...has there been any official response by anyone about the 3x event? If I'm correct, it wasn't on yesterday at all.

  If you're talking about merching, it's often unreliable, often requires as much time investment as grinding, and you can get screwed by a gacha in any given moment.

  Which is why I said "Disposable income". I.e, income you use for hobbies. You could make the argument that Mabi shouldn't take up too much of your entertainment budget, but saying that the choice is between "Mabi" and "buying a car" is a strawman.

  It really is not. People don't know how much money they waste simply because they call part of their income "disposable." It's crazy how much money you can save if you just deny yourself a few pleasures. (though I get more satisfaction from playing the game and playing the economy than I would from spending money on NX)

  If it was broken yesterday, you shouldn't expect it to work today either.
  Same weekend.
  
  Nexon will just have it running properly tomorrow and continue as if this weekend never happened.
  Perhaps one or two threads asking for a compensation, but that's it.
