  • Real Money Trading Enforcement Update

    As mentioned, we need to know what they plan to do and how to know that they are actually going to do anything. I've been playing off and on since 2009 and for as long as I can remember there have been bots spamming a gold buying website in Dunby. They had bot bombs in game to stop gathering bots that did nothing against people spamming chat then they took the bot bombs out.

    My concern is that it might not be worth playing and here is why. I run Nowhere to Run elite as often as I get passes to try to get a Celtic Howling Chain Blade from the bears. Why not craft one? It needs 20 of an item that costs ~20m each and is stupidly rare to drop. You could farm for months and never get 20 (assuming you can get groups to run the stuff). And even if you do some of the crafting could fail and you'll need a few more. My concern now is that if I get one to drop I won't be able to sell it at the current market value for fear if being banned but if i sell it low someone else will buy it and flip it to sell ti at market value and I'll be out that gold difference.

    Why not use it myself? Because I have to enchant it (risking durability and destruction without paying real money for enchant protection potions or waiting for events to give them out). Then I need to upgrade it, remember 5-6 and 6-7 will kill it if it fails. Then it's 35k a point to repair without risking durability loss. Of course you could always use hammers to add durability...oh yeah they're only from events and gachas. This game was really built on being pay to win. The fact that this announcement came out a few days after a new gacha makes it sound like fewer people were paying nexon and more people were paying gold buyers so now it's a problem they notice.

    So nexon here's what you need to do to get rid of the need to buy gold and it is to get rid of the need to buy gachas. Stop making gacha items come prereforged or enchanted. Gachas should be cosmetic only with no game play improvements from the gear. Make enchants 100%, make special upgrades 100%, make repairs 100% and the rate based on the tier of the item. Greatly increase the droprate of rare items. Add that's for starters. Basically take a note from WoW's early play book. Once they added paid boosts their game went to crap and has never recovered.

    Remember Nexon laziness and inaction got you into this mess, diligence and decisive action is the only way out.
