Alright first of all, I'm pretty sure it's perfectly fine since it's their way to accumulate money. Secondly, I'm pretty sure I heard that the skill books can be hunted for in the future. If you can't wait then just buy/earn NX. Now I heard someone say that Nexon is corrupt and greedy, greedy I can agree on but corrupt? No, technically they don't have to do anything for you since people who do not buy NX are not their customers. You cannot become a customer until you buy NX, but if you do buy NX then you'd have NX to purchase the skill books. Keep in mind this game is free so it is unfair to place skill books in the Cash Shop but it's only temporary. Also another point I want to make out; I hear a lot of people who said they've quit playing Maple because of the skill books only available through the Cash Shop. That's a ridiculous and dumbfounded reason to quit Maple. If you don't like the idea of buying skill books then do surveys or just create a new class or continue with your old character. For me, I'm continuing with my archer until Evan skill books can be hunted for; if never then oh well.

[quote] germy300 : I don't have to make the job. In fact, I haven't made one yet, but I want to. I can make the NX, it's a small amount which is easy to make with the resources given, but "it's not the amount, it's the moral." This is a free to play game where you are forced to pay to enjoy a portion of the game. I can play, but I can't enjoy. Maybe in levels 1~35 I can enjoy, but after that? It'd be a long and tedious effort not worth it to try to enjoy. [/quote] So, let's get this strait. If you have forgotten, or haven't read it at all, Nexon said that they did this because people were so caught up in training and didn't want to go do the quests to get the skills like you had to with Aran. So instead of us gracing Nexon for giving us the resources to get the books with out paying, we bash them? Does that make any sense at all? [quote] Cryptopsy : Why don't you try going without MG?

I kinda agree, but I kinda don't. I'm tired of people saying "don't play Evans then." This is supposedly a free game, where NX users aren't suppose to have any real advantage, but that pretty much went down the tube with 2x exp cards, but that change was rather minor and the game is still considered free since 2x exp is a luxury, not a necessity. If Nexon creates a new class that is free to play, then the class should be free too, and users shouldn't have to pay for skillbooks for the class. Of course people will play a new class such as an Evan, and if the class is included in a free game, then the everything about the class itself should be free too. If they want to make people buy skillbooks for it, then they should start a new game like Maplestory2 or something and they can do anything they want with it. But Maplestory started as a free game, and until they formally announce that it is not, it is ridiculous that necessary skillbooks are in the CS. Bottom line is that Nexon should not put necessary skills in the CS, as long as Maplestory is a free game and until stated otherwise.

Don't go saying that you don't have anything to put in there to sell, go do the GFA scroll quest in NLC, hunt monsters that drop raries, anything, sell them in the MTS. And, don't you think people would of noticed the Earn NX thing by now? People overseas can do it, I got a friend in Euro that can do it without a problem.

I got 12k NX for doing free surveys for like an hour, no credit card even. Just a double email and an old address. It really is easy to do, so just do a few and you'll have the 6k needed in no time.

They'll eventually come out in game as well. Right now Nexon's trying to make money out of the bandwagon- with success. People are paying quite some monet for pixelated glasses. To Nator: for people from the other side of the pond the surveys are sort of... unavailable. :S

[/quote] No one is twisting your arm to play Evans. There are 10+ classes to play. It's called free to play for a reason. They never said 100% of the game content was free. Honestly I don't understand why people are whining so much. Nexon needs to acumulate income somehow to keep this game free of a monthly charge. I'd appreciate a monthly charge for this game. It would weed out all these whiners and rule breakers.

As for everyone saying that's what the surveys and mts are for, gaining NX isn't the problem here.The problem here is the fact that would actually make you buy the mastery books from the cash shop. Nexon stated from the very beginning this is a f2p game and that NX users will not have an advantage over non-nx users. They have completely disregarded that and gave numerous advantages to NX users such as 2x, gacha, maple life, meso bags, hammers etc. So can everyone stop being complete morons, and understand the fact that gaining NX isn't the problem, the problem is that Nexon would make you buy something that is needed by the class in the cash shop when they clearly stated that nx users will not have an advantage over non nx users.

[quote] bumhedshawt4 : They never said 100% of the game content was free. [/quote] Actually shortly after NX Cash came out a notice saying "NX Cash will never interfere with normal gameplay". I'm not getting my knickers in a twist about this whole Evan issue, even though I've been playing NXless for the past 4 years and 8 months, I just felt I needed to point this out. XD Of course "normal gameplay" may just refer to the way it was when nobody knew what the FM was good for, leaving later additions "not normal".
