Nexon Cant Math
http://maplestory.nexon.net/News/Events.aspx?boardNo=201&contentNo=00DVi&pageIndex=1
Scissors of Karma (1) 2,250 NX
Scissors of Karma (3) 9,000 NX
Scissors of Karma (5) 12,750 NX
I'm pretty sure whoever made these prices was on drugs. 2250x3 = 6750, 2250x5 = 11250
GG Nexon. Don't fall for it.

They are evil. -.-
This is actually the best thing Nexon has ever done.
This'll separate the spoiled and ignorant with the people who can do actual math.
This thread needs more attention!
I hope they see this. Lol
Nexon didn't do their math right for their bank account so they think they are 10million $ short of where they should be.
Nexon can't math.
[quote=Ngame989]I understand that the other bundles use the original price, but I don't see a point (with the exception of horrible corporate greed) to putting the bundles and their prices in the same notice as the (much cheaper) single SoK's.[/quote]
Too many big words, speak noob please.
[quote=PIaguedwind]@Ngame989: Most likely, the bundles will persist after the sale and will be a useful item at the end of the sale.[/quote]
Still doesn't make much sense why they'd bother to post them. And ironically, the 3 bundle even with normal price is STILL useless. It's not overpriced or a scam or anything but it's still literally there to save 2 extra clicks.
Nexon trying to scam us now LOLOLOLOLOL

Other bundles are using the original price.[/quote]

Seems Legit.

[quote=theposer]@gamemage3: Majority means more than half and I doubt more than half think 6 is bigger than 9. No idea where you pulled that statistic from.[/quote]
Just look at my thread, over 60% of players think that a 6% increase in damage is larger than a 9% increase in damage.
@gamemage3: Majority means more than half and I doubt more than half think 6 is bigger than 9. No idea where you pulled that statistic from.
You do realize the majority of players think 6%>9%, watch those morons buy it.
Nexon is a genius and is taking advantage of those idiots, which is the majority.
This is just a theory that I have come up with but I'm pretty sure nexon did this on purpose.
It's just another clever way to make you buy stuff and this isn't the first time they used these kinds of strategies.
One that comes to mind is when those unicorn pets were on sale. You could buy them in bundles and if you look at them in Cash Shop before you purchase them,
they DO NOT say that they'll expire in 90 days. On the website, however, nexon states that they DO expire in 90 days. People buy the bundles hoping that nexon has
screwed up and the unicorns are permanent. Hence, Nexon wins.
In this case, nexon purposely puts up the bunddles of scissors of karma to be more expensive then buying them 1 by 1, NOT to make it cost more for people who want to click less.. but to make people think "HA wow nexon is so stupid. The bundles are more expensive. I'm going to just buy them 1 by 1." So you end up buying 3 or 5 Scissors of Karma 1 by 1. (if not 3 or 5, I'm sure you'll probably buy more than you were planning to if they didn't even put up those bunddle prices) You buy them because you believe that you are saving so much money for figuring out "nexon's stupidity" when in reality, Nexon WINS!

I've fixed it for you.
On topic: I smell con-artists.
Things are meant to be cheaper in bundles... sigh. What's the world come to?
Have you considered the possibility that you can only purchase 1 of these bundles throughout the course of the event?

Who is she talking to ? Seems to me her english is worse than anyone who has posted thus far O_o[/quote]
You just made yourself look like a total idiot..
Lol what a fail what's the point of buyint them in a bundle if its more than the price of all of them if you buy one at a time?
[quote=sephly]i really hope you post this on the official forums. Maybe they'll get embarrassed enough to fix it.[/quote]
Why are you naked? o_0

The title is supposed to be funny in the way it's worded. I understand perfectly well how to make a proper sentence with the same meaning, I just chose not to for humor's sake.

[quote=SkyHookII]Or maybe it's just a typo. Give them a break.[/quote]
It's in the extraction data, those are actually the prices. And if doing that was intentional and they are blatantly trying to screw click-happy people who spend their money on the game, then I don't even know what to say. Normally Nexon only tries screwing those who don't buy NX
[quote=prerit007]You can't english -.-[/quote]
It's a popular joke.
Lol, you thought Nexon did that by accident.
