Is nexon going to remove pap?

People have been farming piece of crack dimensions for years and now nexon have finally found out about it. So they decided to change it into a quest item, so that people can't fight it no more...

I'm just wondering if pap is going to be removed from the game or not because I want to fight it more ofte now! But a couple days after my first solo, they messed it up...

"heres a picture of my first pap run though":

Nexon Fixing an issue that isn't NX related or exploit related quickly

That's a good joke.

[quote=Daresay]I can think of only a couple options:
1. make a new tag specifically for boss items that makes them un-storage-able
2. limit the quest that provides the boss items.
3. make it so they can't be stacked at all.

People would still hoard them, but not nearly as much.[/quote]

If they were to make a boss item tag, would that mean that they would put other pieces such as Eyes of Fire or Fantasy Park Spirits into it?
Would that stop the selling of those items?
They could limit the quest that you can forfeit for pap pieces, or make them start the quest line over again to keep them from farming them.

[quote=sakurarose8955]True. I was thinking about this before the AfterShock patch, and how Nexon would want to stop us from farming the items.
I didn't think they would actually do anything though, since you can't limit the quest that gives unlimited cracks, but then we have this problem with making them quest items.
The only way they'll fix this and keep people from farming them at the same time will have to be some form of 'no storage' or such tag.[/quote]

[quote=Daresay]Unfortunately that's impossible, unless they create an entirely new tag that prevents you from putting it into storage. [/quote]

[quote=poke4554]that would suck if the piece of crack dimension missed the crack.
i cant remember it well, but i did this once, and i was thinking "oh crap" but i dropped my second piece of crack dimension in the correct place, and i was able to pick up the one i missed

edit: i dont know why i said piece of time, but i hope it got changed to piece of crack dimension[/quote]

Still kinda lost in what you said lol

OT: Nexon didn't think enough apparently. They made it a quest item hoping to stop the hoarding of cracks, and instead they made it completely useless ~> unable to be sold nor can it be dropped to summon pap. I had to learn the hard way, every pap ch was empty so I just went in and yea...dropped the crack to find out it went poof.

[quote=Retreated]No they're not removing it. o_o; they will however make it so people can't hoard the cracks anymore though.[/quote]
