Tradeable items

If you read this thread from nexon
http://maplestory.nexon.net/community/#%2Fshowthread.php%3F1071467-Developer-AMA-thread%26nxid%3D6

They're basically allowing you to ask any question you have about the game.

My question was why isnt everything tradeable. While you may say that,that's been answered it really hasnt. For those of you that dont know what im talking about ill
give you the question and its answer right now.

Q:Why can't non-NX items be shared across all characters in an account? Why are so many items untradeable or tradeable only with a Sharing Tag or Scissors of Karma? If I earned an item, I think I should be allowed to trade it between characters on my account.
A.Rare items are not tradable so as to keep the game balanced. Also, trade is limited to prevent hacks or accidental trades. While we understand this may be frustrating, this system was designed to keep your rare items safe.

Simple solutions which have already been part of maple since the longest.
1.We have a buy back system so even if you do sell it,guess what you can buy it back =O.
2.By allowing almost all items to be tradeable through out maple, pretty sure things will deflate more allowing the unfunded players a chance to become stronger.
3.Prevent hacks? like duped items? well while that may be a major con its more on their end. Dupes are gonna happen regardless if the item is tradeable or not(karma).
4.There's nothing in this game in which you can consider "rare",so they're not really protecting anything in this aspect.
5.Feel like you might lose your item ? lock it and feel better.

Personally i felt their responses on some things to be a sad excuse as to why they cant allow these things. I'd like to hear all of your thoughts on their responses when it came to the "A better maple".

You can expect a response like "If we did it as a hot time it would negatively effect the maple economy".

[quote=Davyn]He was talking about how you can buy-back items from NPCs. The function has only been around since roughly the time of the Chaos patch, but it is a godsend for many people, myself included. Accidentally selling a rare item or something scrolled well to an NPC used to be one of the worst experiences in the game. Now you can re-purchase the items you sell for the same exact price you sold them for if you happened to sell it by accident.[/quote]

oh whoops. For some reason, I totally forgot about that. I thought he meant implementing a new buy back from other players.

[quote=JavsIsHere]Your second point is answered by the recent SW nerf. The items were easily accessible and the funded people started to complain, i can only see the same thing happening if they made every item tradeable.[/quote]

But theres a difference here,those items are being dropped by bosses and how quick its drops rate were. Also they didnt nerf it,it was due to the event just like when potentials/enhancements first came out they had a very high drop rate along with items that dropped with potential.

[quote=rparappuram]They said in their "A Better Maple" survey, the reason NX wasn't perma was because it would take up too much inventory space. My Red cash shop items would like to have a word or two...[/quote]

They did that on purpose so they can use it as an argument the next time someone asks why can't NX items be permanent. Lil bastards.

And Nexon totally avoided the question. Hardly even answered it those little pricks. If they were still in LA I would throw cat poo at them.

[quote=zarisktz]You should've asked why we don't share cash shop inventories.[/quote]

Plus he said you can only ask 1 question at a time.

If items can only be traded across the account freely items going to hackers or "accidental trades" isn't even possible. They didn't even answer the actual question because the answer is really they don't want to lose money from psoks and the same items being bought over again.

-I'm also miffed by them making sooo many items worth only 1 or even 0 mesos.
It's a waste of our time and inventory. It's as if even Nexon knows they're giving us worthless items.
and the droprate of useless pots is just annoying.
Like being in HoH and a mana elixir drops. you know nobody uses them. they're not even worth NPCing from such a poor sell price.
Pro monsters should drop pro healing items. and not at such a massive rate.

-And what's up with Mounts? They keep boosting our speed/movement skills. that's what mounts were for, but now are useless because everyone moves faster than 140% or even 200% speeds. I think they should do something for mount level that also increases speed per level.

-And censoring...My gosh that censoring...

-And it'd be REALLY helpful if you could put all use items in quickslot. I know it's due in a future patch, but we really needed it a LONG time ago. why do they even put limits on stuff like Frozen boxes, Honor medals, and unidentified love letters?

This is just nexon's poor excuse hoping people fall for it. The real reason why is money.
