oh boi paid event items now

Or maybe you're going off discord, in which case I don't pay attention to their chat much.
They're so desperate for money that they resorted to selling endgame materials, armour, and weapons.
The thing I dislike is paying to skip progression. Some things are just sacred. The developers gave up on any any resemblance to good game design.
I agree, but this is the wrong way to go about it. It ignores the fact that dungeons are poorly designed in terms of progression and award, especially with such a small server population in comparison to KR and JP. People should be encouraged to run endgame content and be rewarded for doing so.
I am fairly shocked, because I thought this would be a line that they wouldn't cross.
Now, if the game has a "Get 5,000 NX for making a character on Mabinogi and grinding to level 2,000", I can confidently say the game will die, and very soon.
Can't say if they are acting out of desperation or just shamelessness.
TW server has the same event going on.

Same exact drop table.

No rates are shown for TW server because they're not required to.
Only difference?
Nexon added ability for you guys to farm keys from SM for you F2P.
And removed the 3rd and 4th bundle.
So you can stop bashing Nexon NA now.
This makes me think of those Erg Infusion Catalyst things from past events.
Those were also nice, at least as a head start.
Very neat.
If it's what's keeping the servers running at this point, I don't really mind. On another note, I hope this makes end-game stuff more affordable. I'm not paying 150m for just one piece of the set.
It's gunna offset me back into the hundred millions, I'd like to keep my account in teh billions for a lot longer plox.So yes I'm here and I will say this event in my opinion is kinda crap for a new player like me since I cannot participate unless I open my wallet and essentially pay 2.50$ per key. Am I not allowed to feel that this is stupid? Because it feels really stupid.
You're allowed to feel this event is stupid but would you rather everyone here get the Alternative?
Where this "event" is 100% Purely NX ONLY?
If you want translation:
60 = 2 USD for 1 key.
600 = 20 USD for 10 keys + 1 Special key
1800 = 60 USD = 30 keys + 5 Special key
3000 = 100 USD = 50 keys + 15 Special key and 30 Divine Mineral Fragment
This event is for them is 100% NX only, you cannot participate without spending $$
I don't know about you but, having the option to earn keys for free seems like a better deal but maybe that's just me.
But you can say "why not just not have an event in the first place."
well okay then, just remember that before this event started every material started at low cost of 10 million each. with some mineral exceeding 30m each.
The less people able to run content, the more expensive materials are. which is why the erg market was a huge monopoly.
You see the same 20 people doing content and profiting for the longest time.
Remember when end game gear and outfits use to only cost approx 30-50m ? and now they're well past 200m and up to 3b?
Good luck telling a new player "Just buy a basic X , it's ONLY XX - XXX millions of gold."
I understood your market value point and sure that is a good thing for players I assume like yourself and others that have been playing for quite some time, I was never even trying to say that it was bad for that. I was just coming at this from the perspective of a new player as I am one, and just saying that the event felt dumb because I effectively can't participate without my wallet.
And for how I guess how they're doing this event elsewhere, it's really a moot point to me personally as a new player as I'd be in the same boat regardless.
Don't feel bad...or feel worse? I've done in the 30's to 40's of elites and still only have a single key. That's also not counting the multitude of Hard missions I did when I ran out passes.
The drops on the keys seem like it's more of a tease than something obtainable. Or just traditional mabinogi RNG in effect.
