What is something you would pay nx for?

I hear a lot of people complaining about things that they shouldn't have to pay nx for.
My question today is what would you pay nx for? What is your okay spot in the paying of nx? And how much would you pay?
I'll start; for me personally, I have 24 characters and transferring link skills is annoying as hell. I would pay 5k nx to allow all of my characters to have access to all of my link skills, no matter which character I'm on.

How about you?

[quote=RichAF]@4023 That's your problem, you want to play a free to play game and you want all the benefits for free; how is nexon suppose to keep this game alive if you don't want to pay for anything. Yet you're probably the same person who buys density DLCs.

@smartguy1801 I don't agree, cubes wasn't a bad idea I just wish you could buy cubes for meso and leave the bonus potential for nx.[/quote]

Hey, I didn't say that [i]everything[/i] should be purchasable through mesos. I said that I wouldn't personally spend NX on anything. Matilda's selection shouldn't be huge, just bigger than it currently is. Besides, it's not necessarily that I don't want to spend money on a [b]free-to-play game[/b], it's that I literally can't in my current financial situation. Also, Destiny is trash, don't even lump that in with this.

@RichAF yea, pretty much grew up in the same house. Every time I log into maple is for the sake of the guild I'm part of, thats the only reason. First time I bought nx was 10k, bought pets to help me loot gear. That was the only time I bought nx, which was about 4 years ago when I began playing. Not even the pets are perm with the 90 day thing, but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. The way I earned my nesos was a grindfest at gollux and making eyes of fire, it was not fun. But I did what I had to do to provide myself tbe necessary tools needed to fully immerse myself in the game. Your not the only who has accepted the changes in this game, and quite frankly, they are bearable, but it wont go away for the simple fact that maplestory is not the only pay2win game out there, and you listed great examples too! All in all, I just hope other players do not fret about the free2play games they have. This game is very similar to real life, "Focus on what you got, not the things you don't have", so much truth into such a small phrase. Getting hy day by day on this game is a challenge when your grinding constantly to account for your needs, it really is. And it p'oes me when certain individuals take for granted that they have money to blow on a game like this, so it is a bit personal in a sense. I'm still the same person grinding to provide without paying a dime, and if otheds can't accept that ideology, go kick rocks. You've been there and done that, so its not much different, plus, we haven't given up on the game, we just percieve it differently with the same answer. Also, idk about MS2, I mean, I really love the fact you can nake your own nx items for your own leisure, and I love the system of a connected world it establishes, but I wont find out until it hits globally, so much high hopes. Lastly, I hope you continue to carry on that aspect you have, it defines a great difference between those who have money and learned from it, vs those who do not. Pce

@smartguy1801: We must of grew up in the same house old cause I was a grinder too, I got must of my items early on the hard way; I was apart of SINcity prebb then moved from guild to guild. I was never restricted and crippled by not buying nx I knew that's just the way it is. If you cannot afford nx. well that's on you but at least you're still able to play. I know I keep comparing ms to other games but seriously, look at wow. Monthly payment and in game features. Look at Tera today, Elite status that is a monthly thing, in those games it's twice as hard to survive without paying for stuff and both of those games also have their own unmovable "cash shop items" and certain items that been worn all ready and you cannot get them the hard way like in maple.

I don't believe nx has dumb down the players because when I bought my first 100k nx I wasted it, I was still flat broke with crap damage and items because I didn't know what to do. You can spend all the money, heck you could of won the 1m maple points from marvel and still be a noob. I've been playing for 6-7 years now and I feel less restricted than I did ever before. Maple story isn't new player friendly and nexon knows that, look at this event; throw back world. Half of the players don't even understand on what's going on and I don't blame them but they are getting the better end of the stick. If you want to feel respected by nexon you are, look at all the things you don't need nx for anymore. I've been making cubes like crazy and selling them 250m a piece.

If you're tried of starting over then JUST DO IT. Stop quitting, stop looking at everyone elses damage, make a character and do whatever in your means to do it. All mmorpgs are a grind feast, just deal with it or play console or steam games and watch them really rob your money.

and maplestory 2 is gonna last a year and everyone is going back to maple, why should I quit a game that I've played for so long?

I hate how you can't trade items with out sok/psok makes no sense (understandable if there was a fusing system where you fused it to your self or you can't unattach it from your self). Also paying to unlock secondary pendent slot. There are some more stuff but lastly paying to get random hair lol so stupid we shouldn't even have to buy it with nx even if we do it should only be for royal hair style and not random.

Well, there is one solution people can use. Don't play the game seems to be a common one. Sigh, I just hope maplestory 2 lives up to its expectations.

[quote=RichAF]@smartguy1801 We've both been playing maplestory for a long time and you must admit that the pay2win isn't as bad as 2-3 years ago? Remember when the only way to get potential equips was through the use nx? Remember to buy apples someone had of been married and go the apq? Don't you remember MTS? Everything was circled around nx. You wanted damage or high survivalist you better have nx. If you want to be ahead in anything whether it;s online or in real life you better than money. People need to stop hating on mmorpg pay2win system because look how todays AAA games are screwing people with their $20 skin sets or heck pay monthly to even play online. With maplestory you don't need to pay nx to do stuff, you want cubes? go make them yourself, you want potential scrolls? do the events. You want character slots? do the events again. People are just lazy and pay2win makes it more enjoyable and that's a no brainer but I hate people who sit and complain cause I said 3k nx for a bonus potential and they're crying because they're too lazy to go get event coins and buy it the hard way.[/quote]

I agree with most of this, but there are a few things I have to talk about.
If I want to enjoy this game, I shouldn't have to sacrifice quality gameplay to abuse events and grind my time away like a hamster being fed a treat regularly to stimulate my reward response. I shouldn't have to wait like a dog for Nexon to release a patch that decides whether I trudge along or take a tiny step towards actually enjoying myself.

Those handouts shouldn't be what makes Maplestory bearable to play. And yes I understand the game developed into this monster that entices players to spend NX or kill time.

actually nexon views character item ownership as independent. so you dont own them all the character does

Perma mushy, hyper rock I don't know why I didn't bought one when they came out with the Perma version, something to make all my stuff account tradeable, something to make all the link skills account bound, more decks for character cards, if the second pendant slot in reward shop is here to stay then I have no problems with it.

@RichAF sigh, I was afraid you would take the otber route. There is truth in your response however, you are correct about maple being very advanced towards those who had money for the game to have certain aspects to enjoy the game with. Your absolutley correct about that. Now, I'm not going to pour guts on this response, but I dont have any money to spend on maple, frankly, its much more to it than just that. I grew up playing maple grinding my fingers on the keyboard to get what I needed, and I have to respect that not alot of people will be that determined to go the same route I did. I saw no point in purchasing nx, all my items were earned. I thought that if Nexon would dumb down the need to have nx to progress further in the game, then maple wouldn't have the reputation it has now for our veteran players.(and new players too). Your on point about lazy players too, but don't count all of us in that spectrum, some of us players do not agree with that standloint as we actually work hard to accomplish certain goals. Lastly, nx has also given players a means to fund themselves, but it is dumbed down to a lesser degree. I have no doubt in my mind nx will continue to exist, however, I want it to stay on the path it is currently heading, where people who cant afford nx can also enjoy the game the same way. Sorry for the long reply also.

[quote=smartguy1801]@RichAF nice name by the way. To be fair with you, you gotta admit, not paying real money to a game that pretty much is substantially tedious is a bit, distasteful. Dobt get the wrong idea, no bashing towards you, but to someone that has playing maple for a long time, it has seen better days. And so what if people think buying items with mesos is better than paying real money, I thinj its a fine idea, why dont you? The only people losing benefits are those who can afford to pay real cash to be overpowered in the mean time, but even thats not an excuse. All in all, there are a multitude of ideas nexon could create to have a fair game, so far maple points are ok, but your still limited to few options. And if nexon were to switch to using in game currency to buy items worth real cash like pets or cubes,(certain ones), then so what? Better to have a stable populance than to carry a pay2win fest of a game.[/quote]

You can already buy cubes with mesos... Owl "Meister Cube" in the FM, or "Master Craftsman's cube" depending on what ranking your equip is.

@GoldenHedgy Seals for perma nx? Why would you want to seal something thats untradable after equip?

A Lock, that locks your Guild Points at a specific point. So if you expel or clean out the guild, your points won't drop below
the last locked point.

I actually like that idea! I wouldn't mind paying for it. I would also like Invisible Andriod and invisible pets. I don't like the idea of Hyper Tele Rock in general. I want it to be kind of like GW, where you can just warp to somewhere by paying a certain amount.

Something that allows me to transfer all of my items without SOK/P'SOK. Permanently. Also would let me transfer untradeables. Would pay lot of nx for that feature.

Buy nx from Nexon? Yea, you better be joking. Maplestory's downfall began with nx, but thats another story. Back in the day, when nx was big and was an extra means for fun, I bought pets and hyper tele rocks because of style and the convenience of having them. Now, it seems like they are required in some cases, dont start about cubes.
