I hate it. It forces people to either be weak, pay lots of real money, or merchant a lot. Why can't I have decent damage and not have to kiss the toes of Nexon? There should be daily quests that give you 1-3 cubes, and then another one for one AP reset. It wouldn't cut their profits and it would allow people to not feel like driving screws through their brain when it comes to their business model.

Merchanting isn't hard. Actually, many argue that it's the easier aspect of maplestory.

i almost totally agree.. it says people with nx do not have an advantage over non-nx users, but with nx, you can: -reset your stats/skills to perfect -Gachapon for money and items -cube for godly items also: they should take out % equips and only make +#stats

Actually, the potential system allows for those with lower fundings to have better equips, although it will generally take longer than those who have access to NX since it'll take a dedicated player to find the right potential stats. Plus, there's the MTS for NX if it's that big of an issue.

The funny thing is you actually CARE about damage on an ONLINE game.

They're trying to make so much profit, that it's just ruining the game for those that don't want to spend so much money. It's really corrupt. I realize a company's goal is to profit, but shouldn't the users' opinions (and the effects the game's changes have on them) matter?

Or they did already, somehow? And where are you getting your figures? Merchanting is not hard, just time consuming. If you want enough money to get good potential stuff, spend a week merchanting, then get the stuff you want. Getting potential stuff to boost damage is not a big deal. I get tons of potential items every day I play, and most of it I just NPC cuz there's so much of it out there now. It's not even that expensive. I think you're just making too big a deal out of this than it needs to be. Also, AP resets are a big money maker for Nexon. If anything, they should lower the price on them so more people would be willing to HP wash/redo stats on characters.

The quests wouldn't hinder profits because people that already to pay for those items for them in a lot larger quantity than stated here. So they would continue paying for them so they could have the items now rather than later. That's why they pay for them as it is, if nobody cared, they would all wait for prices to drop, since they will.

The only problem with potential is the fact that stats help some classes A LOT more than others, especially those with passive wepAtt skills. On a side not heroes need a weapon attack boosting skill(rage is pointless).

Its not forcing you to be weak...

Of course it would cut their profit, people would make mules, let's say the only have 3 player slots, if you can get 1-3 a day on each character, thats ~= 9 cubes per day, people would stop buying cubes, and at the moment it's most likely (not sure) their biggest profit point due to the amount being bought. Also it's not making you weaker it's making others stronger, let them do with their money what they want.. think of these things before you complain about them, if you don't like it quit...
