the point of nx items quotsold outquot
whats the point of having limited virtual items that can "sell out", no seriously it makes no sense because i was about to go and buy some nx to pick up the transparent package when i realized it was "sold out", why would you do this on a one day event? it stopped me from actually going out in getting nx and i'm sure it pretty much screwed over alot of people who found out after they bought nx so why... just why? i get that a company is suppose to aim to make money but for christ sakes stop nickling and diming your customers at every turn, your so greedy you couldn't allow unlimited sales for one day before you double the cost tomorrow.

You're kidding right? Why you ask? Its supposed to be a sale, like black friday limited items sales. Just like in real life. Thats why there were few. And also, paying double? You mean normal price? Go whine about not getting a virtual item to your mommy, because seriously, you're acting like a spoiled child.

To give the illusion of value. Paper currency is virtually worthless in and of itself, yet we assign value to it. We can't just print more money.
its kind of funny were literally paying for nothing ( you pay so that you dont see anything ), i only really wanted the perm shoes ( which im getting tomorrow) but the main reason is so that people buy the nx expecting to get something then it sells out so if they still want all the perm items they have to spend double the amount of money! SO SMARTZ NEXON, this definetely isnt the reason your games dying. even funnier they put a video apologizing to the korean player base for being greedy, because the koreans gave them a nickname that meant money hungry or something like that ( i forgot it).
Buy it tomorrow. For double the price. Hmmm
Whys everyone arguing about this who cares about the transparent items they arent that great! Go and buy the 90 day ones then geez anybody think somebody died or something lol

im annoyed because i [b]couldn't[/b] buy it, i'm annoyed because they want to charge me double the price tomorrow, i'm annoyed about the quanity being so low that it sold out in some worlds in less then 30 seconds. so yeah, bit annoyed. also i'm sure people did complain about those other times but just didn't bother making a thread about it because it wasn't worth their time.
[quote=isiah13]maybe by pleasing their customers, they could attract players instead of treating us like cows, where the fattest one gets prize medal. cause lets face it, the method your describing is the cancer that has killed f2p game, the worst part being that your right.... oh nexon, will you ever your ways...[/quote]
It simple, you charge nx trying to get a limited item, the item runs out but you still have nx. Now you're forced to buy something else. Rather then selling at a rate of x of an item at regular price, they sell 2x at a discounted price plus more profit from the people that didn't get to buy the limited time offer and now have to buy something full price.
Are you annoyed because you didn't buy it? No one else complained about it on the other days.
@isiah13 Well, they announced it was a [url=http://maplestory.nexon.net/shop/special-promotions/this-week/00IAW]limited quantity[/url] item a week ago, and given that you're in scania, you probably shouldn't have expected your chances of getting it to be that great in the first place
Because then people buy nx thinking they're gonna get it but its only like 25 people per world, so then they have to buy the more expensive version since they wanted it and already bought nx, meaning any leftover nx is no longer leftover. Whatever they were going to use the leftover on, now has to be bought with more nx
First come, first serve.

Lol if the entire maple bought the package then Nexon would lose more money in the future.
