Anyone think its funny Nx Prepaid can expire?

I just thought it's funny that people pay real money for currency that'll disappear unless you regularly spend it. I see why Nexon would implement a system like that but it's somewhat evil LOL.

I have the lvl 70 Henir Time & Space set socketed with full critical + add damage, which is far cheaper than a full fafnir/tyrant set with 20% on each piece of equips

@zomgitbeandy I find that my own phone prepaid credit can expire in ONE month (if i don't keep charging, buying more credit) quite ridiculous... Once expired, I can't get it back... I can't extend it for free either. Every month I get so pissed when I get the text that tells me to charge more credit before it expires... stupid... anyway I didn't know nx prepaid expires too... that's just stupid

Yeah but we actually trade in our currency that could expire and the only way to prevent it to expire is to spend more ?___?. Like if you trade your USD to CAD then you're suddenly forced to spend for x time interval doesn't that just seem unorthodox.

@krishman I've actually had a few giftcards of mine for 3 years and they still have money in them, granted this obviously doesn't apply to ALL giftcards but I think it should. Why else would you trade in money for equal value but with an expiration period

I was surprised when I received an email telling me "You gotta use your NX or we take it back !"...Wait what? >.<

I didn't plan to make any NX purchase, and ended up forgetting about it until the day+1. I think such behaviour from Nexon is ridiculous </3

"Hello Nexon Player,

We thank you for your continued support of our games.

This is to notify you that your unused NX on your Nexon Passport may be subject to expire.

After reviewing your account, Nexon America has learned that your NX balance on your Nexon Passport ****** has remained unchanged for over a year. You can avoid the expiration by either charging your account or purchasing an item in the game using NX, but if no new transaction of NX occurs by January 31, 2015, your remaining 1,800 NX on your ***** account will expire.
Thank you."

Isn't this normal for all gift cards ?
I know in canada they recently changed the law so gift cards can no longer expire but before then it was quite normal.
