  Well, I just bought 25k Nexon to RB.
  Guess I might as well waste some of it.

  I used to stick up for Nexon a long time ago because I thought people bashed them too much, but now I've just really realized how fail they are.
  
  Especially with another trolltastic NX event.

  
  
  Personally, I think this is a great job done by Nexon.
  
  You were the one saying how all that Synthesis ranking was for naught. But now it wasn't. A few rares will popup here and there, but they won't be completely destroyed in value (Dragon Blades?).
  
  I wanted to synthesize a Frill Short, and having them become worthless and common would have ruined the item for me. Preserving the rarity by making people pay for their chance to get it is a huge plus.
  
  
  I hate money events in general. Why should noobs and lazy people be able to get rich from stupid events? If events are gonna have broken prizes (like they pretty much all do), then at least make it a cash shop advantage so it's less game-breaking.

  Well, I'm not complaining about not being able to get a frill short or anything without buying NX. I just hate how they keep releasing nx event after nx event and tons and tons of rare items have dropped drastically in value because of it. I was reading the nexon forums earlier and to quote someone, "all you need is rank 1 golem summoning and Mommy's credit card to be a pro in Mabinogi".
  
  I'm more unhappy about the fact that the game is becoming more and more orientated towards spending nx. I know that Nexon is a company and they need to make money, but this is getting ridiculous. Before, in Gs 1-4, we had nice fun events that didn't even have an nx portion. Now, it's just "YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO GET XXX RARE ITEM AND SPEND $$$ TO INCREASE THE CHANCE!". They're getting even more expensive as well. I also dislike how we're getting things such as 2x life skill training boosters and stuff. I bet in the future, they'll just release a capsule that costs $5 that will fully train one rank of your skill or something and no one will have to even try anymore for hard ranks if they have the nx... Not the mention the fact that a lot of new items and clothing keep coming out in gachapons rather than in NPC shops or drops from SMs/monsters/dungeons.
  
  Also, I was worried synthesis training would be for nothing because Homocide said earlier that she heard from other servers that frill shorts and fitted cords were very common. Even if it requires a booster to have a good chance of getting them, well...I'm pretty sure a ton of people would still spend the nx and get a bunch, so the values will drop just like the wing bows did. =/
  
  They could keep making events like that Santa event in 2008 where there was absolutely no nx required and rare prizes were, well, rare (or like that group collection event with Price in...2009 I think). But I suppose all they want is money now. T_T
  
  I kind of just want to quit after all of this, but then I've spent a lot of money on this game and I still find the non-event portions fun, so I guess I'll just keep on playing...but still be unhappy about it and hope for a good non-nx event for once.

  I agree with the 2x Training potions being a bad idea, but these event "advantages" aren't big enough to be a huge deal. People will always complain when Nexon sticks a price tag on anything, even if it's entirely reasonable. For whatever reason, it's cool to say Nexon grubs for money in everything that they do.
  
  Besides, you don't need any NX at all to be a pro in Mabi if you're using r1 Golem Summoning. And there are lots of strong 1k+ people who got there using Freebirth. I prefer a cash shop over really crappy servers and banner ads flying around everywhere.
  
  The alternative of "Cash Shop without advantages" would just make people say it's retarded like Maple Story clothing and pets. They'll hate no matter what.

  Oh, I think the person who said the pro in mabinogi quote meant that all they need is rank 1 golem summoning to be able to do as decent (if not more) damage as an okay meleer...and the credit card part is for the rare items (like you see everyone egoing a wing bow nowadays. I wonder if the people who ego them even know they'll have to either spend another 2-3 mil every time to repair it or spend nx to repair it).
  
  I've gotta say that I just logged in and was pleasantly surprised to see the Project RM rewards though. At least they didn't take too long this time.

  Getting it is one thing, sustaining it and developing it is entirely different, and NX won't help them much there.
  That's what I meant by over-dramatizing the whole NX thing. There isn't much you can do without several hundred dollars of NX that will create a lasting advantage. As much as this is a "fantasy life" you can't avoid the fact that money will get you everywhere in this world. That's not Nexon's fault.

  Well, I still disagree, but I don't really want to debate over it so I just hope penguin robes won't be too expensive to buy from other players (preferably under 1 mil :D). They're cute!
