Please stop having two gachas at the same time...

I understand the frustration on getting one without the idle when the idle is what you want.
But honestly...
Myself, I sometimes want the non idle. Because I like the outfit, but don't like the flashy or awkward idle. owo
The same goes with having multi-gacha's at once. Nexon is not the only gaming company that does that and I don't really see other communities complaining as much as the small amount of people here on. Some people may want to spend NX but not like one gacha but love another. Example: I LOVE the Homestead gacha, I spend about 150$ on it, got what I wanted and made 100m from selling of the things I didn't want. But I also don't like the Camping gacha, so I am glad I had a choice to spend the NX I had.
It's also not called being greedy. It's called Free to play. Nexon is letting you play this game for free instead of charging you 30-40 dollars a month to play. So they need to make money. All free to play game companies do this.
Remember also: What one person find's crappy another may not. So you can't just say "Lets not buy this crappy gacha" Because that is your opinion of the gacha, not everyones.
Also Boycotting gacha would never work because you have like maybe 5-10 people who don't wanna do gacha vs the 100's of people who spend 100-200$ per week. A few people not buying gacha will never ever sales. So it's pointless to say "lets boycott this" unless it's something a whole playerbase decides.
Some items are no longer available because they were from gachas long forgotten. Some items are only average, and very common, yet are still gacha exclusives. An entire system of animations (the stance cards, which allows players to change their stance with a certain weapon type by activating a totem) is gacha exclusive, even though it would make a great update. Some skills are suffering from the gacha world, such as Transformation Mastery (and all of those monsters that count as exclusive NPCs, like Hasidim). Moreover, having the players interact with some abandoned content again would help the devs fine-tune all that doesn't work and tarnishes the image of the game, like Taming not working as it should because of the Dungeon Revamp.
I think gacha should not feature only event exclusives and fillers, but rather that they add some of these items to hard-to-get in-game sources, and that exclusives or unique variations are gacha-only. Or, the less interesting items can be added to hard-to-get sources a few months after the gacha passed, and the exclusives and variations would still be interesting enough to bring the gacha back.
Edit: Also, image is important to MMOs. Having half of the Dressing Room Appearance options locked behind gacha that may or may not come back, especially when the other half is passable, is a horrible business move.
By your logic this game is barely cutting it's server costs and not even. RIP mabi NA.
No? The game is doing perfectly fine.
All free to play games do this. They need to make money some way? They can't just open a game up for free and not make any money of it/
You think 2-3 people not doing gacha is going to effect sales? thats like saying those one or two customers who throw a hissy fit in stores saying "I'll never shop here again!!" is going to effect a company. There is plenty more people who are more than willing to buy gacha every single time for nexon to keep bringing out gacha.
I have a love-hate relationship with gacha even before the issue of microtransactions started spreading through other games. Free-to-play games really need a way to get funded somehow...
I still feel some gachapon or web-shop items should be obtained in the game instead, as though the player can make the item or get it as a reward. The rest is understandably just a web shop item.
