Just here to brag about my probability

Well... As many of you probably know, I had quit maple long ago. Well I decided to log on and come back for the unique pot scroll event.

So... Just in case a Nexon rep is reading this, I'm not going to go into what I wanted to talk about regarding the unique potential scrolls. Other than that I decided I should use 1 unique pot scroll 80% on my tyrant altair boots. Well it worked. Yay ^^

(Also wanted to simply mention that Nexon DO read these threads. Even here on basilmarket. So... All you guys should not openly talk about certain things about MapleStory on here, because all it takes is the wrong person to read certain information for Nexon to make certain changes to the game that'd ruin it for everyone else. Could name SEVERAL examples to where this has been the case but you get the point. Well to list one example, one example would be that Canadian Nexon Cash discount thing, to where when you spent USD on those Nexon cash cards, you'd get more credit for your dollar. I'm sure yall remember that.)

Anyway... Back to why I wanted to make this thread...

So after using the unique potential scroll on those boots. I figured I should farm reward points to get some red/black cubes from the shop to get my outdated epic-tier gear to unique/legendary.

Well last night I did just that. And... 1 red cube got my unique-tier 'Tyrant Altair Boots' to legendary tier. 3 black cubes were able to get my RA pirate hat to unique. I now have 3 red cubes to spare I guess I should save for the hat since even though it tiered up. The stats are crap. And who knows, the 3 red cubes could get it to legendary.

SINCE WHEN HAVE THE RATES EVER BEEN THIS HIGH? Also, even though I don't really play MapleStory but regularly come to BasilMarket. I noticed i NEVER hear anyone talk about MapleStory being pay2win. I actually can't remember the last time i even heard the term "pay2win" when it came to MapleStory.

Making this thread probably was a mistake since if Nexon sees this, knowing them they may feel the need to secretly nerf the tier-up rates. I know for a fact that they have at some point before. They probably could of also secretly increased the rates since they know this game is dying which is something else I wanted to talk about since I came back to this game. But thats a thread for other day.(Honestly, one example would be star-planet being no where near as populated as it use to be. That's just the tip of the iceberg)

You do realize the whole cheaper NX thing wasn't because we talked about it. It happened because of the exchange rate. To prove this, it wasn't just Nexon that made the change where exchange rates are considered, but many other game companies did the same. It was bound to happen due to the constant downward spiral of the buying power of the Canadian dollar.
Anyway, they did increase the tier up rates in the past, what you experienced is all RNG.

@markred626: The potential scrolls wasn't the point of this thread, the cubes were.

Welcome back to Maplestory! Glad to see you've had some nice luck on tiering up. ^^

Cubes have changed a lot over the years, and I do feel the same way about tiering up compared to how it was before my many years hiatus.

Edit: "Pay2Win" isn't mentioned as much because it's just how things are on non-Reboot servers. It's like having the stairs (Non-paying) or using the available elevator you gotta pay to use (Pay2Win). Both ways can get you to where you want, one's just quicker and costs a bit of moneys. Speaking of Reboot, pretend it's the same scenario, but with no elevator. But instead, you get some awesome candy bars along the way as you take the stairs. And the building is shorter (Reboot's lack of bonus potentials and whatnot).
