Before reading this, please remember to read it all, and try not to flame and look at it from my perspective...this really needs to be discussed...AND KEEP IN MIND IM NOT SAYING GET RID OF CUBES, IM SAYING HAVE A LIMIT TO THEM People that are Nx Hores are getting 10x more godly weapons then people who actually put effort behind theirs.. As we've all know that there has been a new item released called a "Miracle Cube" this can change the potential of any rare / epic item and change its potential to be much better. As we all know there has always been a gap between people who buy nx, and don't, but back then that gap seemed sufficient. NOWADAYS, every nx hoar is just cubing their item over and over until it's price is worth well within billions. Let me explain: There is a person i know, who bought and cubed items, up until the point that it became off the charts. As we all know potential items at first seemed sufficient, it was like "Yay, a little damage boost". Right now, this person i know, has 15% Str earrings 15% Str earrings, and the rest of his equips add up to about, 78% Str. This could nearly double the damage of a person. If someone was to increase the potential of the stat that adds damage to their class, and at this rate, people can double their damage by just cubing. Now, beyond levels of 140+, having 15% str earrings, can give you an approximate of +100 str, now mixed that with MW30, thats +30% str from earrings alone.. That might as well be 30 w.atk earrings... Certain NX Hoars are just cubing their weapons over and over until they become of somethin thought to be impossible. I've seen a dark nisrocks, with attacks over 160+...More over seeing these constant godly weapons which adds frusteration to the game, many classes at a lower level are out damaging us by a lot. I met a lvl 70 Dual blader, a few days back, appereantly he had really godly weapons and equips that he cubed (im a lvl 95 cb). With the amount that he cubed, even tho 25 levels under me, his damage range was nearly TWICE as mine. I've followed the proper build up, ive even gotten some really good weapons, but BEUCASE i don't have nx for cubing, my dmg doesn't even COMPARE to the people that do have them. My friend (lvl 149 drk) has spent forever trying to get a decent reverse weapons, he has made 1 godly weapon so far (Golden color) and about a week after he made it, these cubings came out, and his spear became nearly worthless nowadays. Unfortounately his reverse did not turn out very well, yes he was angry then, but imagine, spending so much efforts on trying to make a good weapon for your self, and finding out, people that can be nx hores, can make weapons that can out damage you easily, without a risk. All im trying to say here is guys, yes there should be a gap between people who buy nx and people who don't, but the gap right now, seems to be growing TOO WIDE. People that cant be nx hores end up looking like little weaklings.... More over this terribly stunning incr

gacha for stats with time those cubes items will make it into the market at a better rate and even things out a bit better -- for now youve just gotta suck it up -- the gap is huge and thats the path nexon is taking -- money for stats is only gonna get worse -- they make too much off of it -- sad but true

This game hasnt been truely free for a long time. There has been such a large gap between those who can throw money towards the game and those who cant. MTS is not really a solution, a few people can merch off of it, but thats just taking advantage of others, not a real solution for those who cant get much NX. The same for surveys, not a real solution. If your not willing to pay to play, your not gonna be able to keep up. for reference, I have very rarely payed NX to this game, so im in a similar boat.

so you're saying that the people who buy nx don't work hard for the money they use to buy the nx? granted there are those little kids that steal from mommy/daddy blah blah blah but your argument is as you say, from your perspective, not from the perspective of someone who has actually had to cube dozens of times to get some reasonable stats, i've gotten % magic/int on my glaive so many times I could swear I was using a staff, and the potential stats on it still aren't that great right now.

1 ) its their money so they can buy it if they want to or not 2 ) nexon makes tons of money. do you think they care about fairness to the game? not really. 3 ) lets say there is a limit of 10 per item. so basically if they dont get what they want , they are screwed and forced to get a brand new item? what if a perfect item had like avoidability 9% , unique, used all 10 cube slots? now imagine that was your item. you'd QQ and then make a thread saying you wish they removed the cap. IMAGINE that was your item. dont give me excuses saying "i dont buy cubes." idc if you do or not.

Why would they put a limit to them to people who can afford them. They're using their OWN money. jealous? Go get money. If you can't afford don't whine..

You all need to understand, i don't care that people can afford them, that's not the point, the point is that it's causing a REALLLY huge damage curve, and if u people think it's "ok" to keep cubing to make bills, fine, but nexon should AT LEAST make another item that's free, that does something similar to a cube, but has a smaller effect, rite now it just seems like nexon is saying "If u dont wanna blow all ur money on maple story, your gonna look like the biggest weaklin around"
