Possible Cash Shop Merge?

Scrolling through the "A Better Maple" page, I found that they might implement a merged cash shop IF the merge with DB/Jett/Cannoneer merge goes well. Do you guys think they will implement it or completely forget about this feature?

Here's proof: [url=http://maplestory.nexon.net/micro-site/abettermaple]Ctrl+F Cash Shop[/url]

@fun2killu: and what if you are wrong? It's silly to make full judgements as of yet.

[quote=Thumbnail]@IsGamer: counter argument? you have no points to argue because you know i'm right, or at least for the time being i'm right[/quote]

I don't mind anyone blaming nexon anyway, it's their mind and their world, we keep playing the game even if tons of flaws affect it, so is not like this is ACTUALLY going to get us anywhere unless nexon also reviews basil posts.

@Thumbnail: Um, i prefer the new cubes, these are who got me the new potentials.

Are you still going to counterargument me? I might just be lucky.

@Thumbnail: Added cubes to be dropped from bosses, so far i got 3 cubes and recubed my gear, no "useless potential" was found there, i got pure %int, %m.att and %dmg, that or i am pretty lucky.

@Omniscient1: We still can judge them. The whole point of the survey was to acknowledge the main problems, the players feel, within ms. On that basis, nexon has acknowledged many things in the past and never responded to them or responded months/year(s) later ( something that is unprofessional and unacceptable). Based on this a lone, i am going to say that nexon will address some problems, but will not address them all.

[quote=Thumbnail]alright, tell me what they've done that wasn't planned in the RED update?
event map? yeah that's working out great for some users[/quote]

R.E.D shop is found on ToT, Cassandra can be found without lag if you go to malasya, take the portal to your left and you will arrive at Boat Quay Town (Singapore). And i LOVE not having town lag.

@fun2killu:

That I agree with you. Nexon should have done this a long time ago. However they haven't yet and therefore we need to deal with this. Just bc the past is past. We can't go back in time or anything. Only thing we can do is hope they follow through with there promises in this survey. If they don't then we can judge them off messing about once again. However, we still can't make any judgements as of yet. You can complain about the past and what not but you can't make judgements based off the past issues that happened. If we all judge Nexon too early then how can we tell if they are actually going to do a good job? See what happens after Red update and see if anything more that they promised in the survey does happen.

[quote=Thumbnail]or you look like a genius (not referring to maple, as in the real world where people make predictions)
on a side note: do you have the hits per second for your dps chart? would really like to see it[/quote]

I do "have it" per say, not written down though sadly. I WILL eventually update the chart I did, to include things like hits per second, and probably the newer class changes since FLY landed (mostly waiting for You and I for when Eunwol comes out and his skills are finalized)

Judgements are always one way or the other, either you look smart; or really stupid =P

On a side note about that survey, there were a few replies that interested me greatly, namely the ones about all the upcoming content: there was one about nebulite boxes being sold from an NPC in an update around January, one about a Sakura Castle revamp, and Masteria returning to its former glory.

Another that caught my eye was all pets possibly being made permanent, don't think it'll really happen but if it does. I will love them forever.

@Omniscient1: nexon should have fixed many of those changes a long time ago. There is no need for the issues to be ranked then fixed.
A gaming company should know what it has to do in order to make the game better. People have been complaining about the issues for a long time.

and yes, as a customer, i can complain and make judgments about the company based on their past actions.

[quote=Omniscient1]The thing is whether you are right or wrong. You can't say they are pathetic right now or that they are a joke. Reason being is the update just started and the survey just ended. You need to wait a bit longer to see if anything is changed or not. Also imo most of the stuff that was mainly toward nx was bc US were the ones that ranked it. It wasn't Nexon that ranked those high. So you can't blame Nexon for people wanting something to do with NX. So overall we can not make any kind of judgements yet. We can't say they are doing a great job or that they are doing a terrible job. We don't have much information as of yet to make those judgements.[/quote]

Honestly, I have to agree with the man here. Im not really a nexon supporter (quite the opposite since Im not a huge fan of the way they do things; though Waltzing's replys on that post actually seemed to be educated and well thought out in my opinion; Anna on the other hand....... no)

I'll wait and see what happens though before passing judgement, because the thing about judgements is that making them too early; and ending up wrong, makes you look like a complete idiot.

[quote=fun2killu]A better maple was a pathetic attempt by Nexon in order to "interact" with the community...

like nexon doesn't already know the problems with their own game, as well as thereselves. Nexon should have already addressed most of the issues on the survey, rather than make us rank stuff. Which i might add, mostly has to do with nx.[/quote]

A supplement to what @Thumbnail said, but they did something similar for the Unleashed patch. Posted a questionnaire/poll for what we want to be addressed. Not all of it was addressed and coincidentally most if not all of those that were addressed were already planned for the Unleashed patch. What's new is that they have provided comments from different departments. It does provide a little more insight into their intentions of addressing issues compared to the previous one.

To me this is just a manipulation of what was planned to be shown as an improvement. Although, I have to say .. better than nothing.

Also their response time to the recent hacking exploits etc are impressive and I see this as an improvement, and a step towards to a better maple more than anything.

On a side note they completely disregarded the question above it.
They barely gave a relevant answer. Makes me laugh.

[quote=Thumbnail]@Omniscient1: i said probably for a reason sunshine, and tell me what they've done that wasn't apart of the RED update?[/quote]

Red just happened and the better maple survey just ended fairly soon. So we can't really make any assumptions just yet. We have to wait to at least the end of the Red patch to make any sort of judgements. You are correct though everything so far was through the Red update. However, there still plenty of things left and the update isn't over yet.

That guy is wrong, they did around 6 things from "Better Maple" so far, he should notice what they are already, but well, i guess he's a pessimist or simply a complainer.

The only reason that Dual Blade, Cannoneer, and JETT got their Cash Shops merged is because KMS did it.

[quote=Thumbnail]lol "a better maple" is a joke, anything that was in "a better maple" that has been addressed was already planned for during RED
everything else will probably be ignored until the You & I update[/quote]

I think that page exists to show us what they already know but they completely ignore it just so it looks like they care when they in reality don't give a rats ass.
