Bonus potential Cubes should be set free from being strictly a pay 2 play resource. All of my items have bonus potential stats that are 3 line rare quality. not one of them has the ability to step up by using one cube after collecting 2400 maple points (which are very rough to purchase in quiet servers)

Bonus potential cubes are a very powerful item. they have the ability to up-tier quicker than that of any other style of cube. the price tag on them for 2400 nx is definitely a hard figure to target in the eyes of someone who has no current means to obtain NX but still wishes to help his team fight lucid one day (the f2p way not the grimy slimy pay way)

if free players were to have access to bonus potential cubes in a method that administered a daily/weekly/monthly limit; I understand its not a top priority to break your own pyramid scheme to force players to pay cash no matter what in the end; however you should still give the option of staying free while being able to have access to those wonderous items..

i speak on behalf of broa's free to play community. none the wiser to help forward this suggestion themselves.

but this is from me
i love what you guys are doing. im glad that we are all working towards a better maple.

i understand this will not be replied to; but it will be added to the list of possibilites to update in the future. our fate is in your hands dev team. dont make me hit 250 with rare bonus potential lines.. well im actually having troubles now at lvl 217 hitting enough on the enemies in Chu Chu island (rhyturtles: they have 150m hp each for 270k xp)

i dont know how to stop myself from writing about this issue i just been starting at a blank screen figuring out how to reach out to you guys.. so im just gonna type this and be done. i just hope this isnt too big of a challenge for the dev team

    at least oldschool runescape is nice enough to offer in game purchasable bonds where i no longer need to spend 10 dollars a month to keep playing, instead spend 5 mil in game to play for free. alot of these voters dont understand poverty levels in areas. if they arent willing to get the big picture then let them be biased.

    I'd love the idea of occult bonus cubes. I feel like it'd be a great step in the right direction of making a less P2W game. Moving bonus cubes to the reward shop would be the next step.

    They also still need to make improvements to them like they did with red cubes.

    I could be (very terribly) wrong, but can't you use the meso/maple point market (not to familiar with the meso/mp market) and then buy the cubes (also not too familiar with the b-pot cubes [green I think?])?

    yeah i mentioned that, but if you are in a server with a dead market then how is that possible without extremely overpaying. besides have you ever tried personally saving up 2400 maple points for one bonus potential cube? it sucks when it doesnt up tier or give any different stats that would be more useful than the previous ones had.. plus were talking 14 pieces of equipment that u can bonus potential.. talk about years before u get a full set with epic lines that you can settle on but theres gonna be more content to eliminate its usefulness by then. paying over 3 bil to buy maple points for one cube isnt ludicrous to you, yinyangx?
