Red Non-NX Cubes

As part of the newest patch implemented into tespia, you can now disassemble strangle cubes and craft unique and legendary cubes using cube fragments!
Also, all monsters will drop these new unique cubes.
Very pleased at nexon's deliverance of their promise to increase player equality

PS: My guess is that they expect people to buy legendary cubes with nx, and will make the legendary cubes nearly impossible to craft (10-30% success rate)

[quote=Redadin]Honestly it doesn't lose them any money.

They know it too.

The people who want to buy cubes will buy cubes because they have the money in real life and won't want to sit there and farm/grind for them like the un-fundeds.

The merchants will buy the cubes or just buy nx via mesos anyways.

The un-funded won't buy cubes anyways so why not let them use the time they spend in-game to alleviate some of the issues in the large gap between funded and un-funded. So stop being annoying with the predictions on GMS.[/quote]

I would like to apologise for being annoying. However, I must contend that I have not played GMS and am not speculating about any possible NA actions, which must still be years off. I am sick and tired of seeing people misinterpreting Nexon Korea's efforts, which I believe are highly commendable in the utmost respect. As a player who has never bought nx nor merched (unfunded, in some ways), this change excites me greatly because strange cubes are easily accessible, potentially implying that I now have the ability to cube unique items at will.
Taking an economic perspective, this change will clearly alter the demand and supply of not only cubes, but nx in general; as KMS has always had an nx trade function.
Clearly, a deflationary gap will arise due to the difference between supply and demand - would you buy a 100m cube when you can make it for 50m?
All nx ratios revolve around the basic, fundamental cube/meso price, and this change will have a definite impact upon this ratio.
Yes - Nexon will lose money; they don't care since they own the majority of the Korean gaming market already.

I don't think that American Nexon runs the Korean Maple...

It'd probably be like those Epic Occult Cubes, which can only raise a rare to an epic, and have like 100% chance of dropping epic to rare

GMS will make them go
1) 99% downgrade 1% upgrade
2) Decreases lines
3) Not have them at all
4) Impossible to get
5) Release another rank even better than legendary
