Question for Nx buyers
How do you continue to spend money on this game knowing the state that it's in? o.o
I always think about buying prepaid, but I always remember the unsatisfied feeling because I feel like I didn't get much out of the cash spent.

I feel less bad if I think it's not like I'm spending money on crack...

I pretty sure that's NX in some cases.

Shrug, people spend money on entertainment all the time. Buying NX isn't all that different from buying tickets to an amusement park or movie theater. There are worse ways to spend money, like governments funding weapons development.
I like to gamble,that's why I put money into this game. It's like the lottery, people will still blow money on kknowing how low the chances are at winning.
same way that one would spend money on alcohol at a bar or admission fees to a club.
or eating out a night less, cooking dinner at home.
When I'm dumping real $ into the game, it's not an investment, but more of an expenditure... I am spending to upgrade/progress faster which makes the game more enjoyable to me for the time being. Where will Nexon be next year? Who knows.. Will I even still be playing? idk probably not.. I don't worry over the money spent since I work, and I will continue to earn more.

You either operate under the presumption that Nexon (at any point) might offer a redeeming quality in the face of all that or that they won't. If it's the latter, playing would be masochistic and you may as well stop.
If it's the former, forgoing things you would rather have once that has been offered is a loss. [i]Edit:[/i] And by the same token, contributing to trends you don't want to see would also be masochistic (to tie it back to my first point).
[quote=DogPukeYellow]My purchases don't support many common denominators of the bad in the game.
Whenever I buy something, it also reflects a marketing and/or sales trend of which I want to see more. Whether anything outside that improves or continues to suffer, it wouldn't affect them. I'd be no better or worse off going after it. The utility would remain constant.[/quote]

That's true, I don't even touch my DS anymore after whining my parents for weeks...
I guess I thought it would be different because the DS is physical, and NX is just easily deleted pixels. o.o

Immediate regret afterwards, but some satisfaction when you get a desired look you wanted, or whatever it is you wanted.
