Bring these items to Reboot
I think Nexon should bring these items to Reboot:
Outlaw Heart
Battleroid
Firestarter Ring
Ring of Torment
Breath of Divinity Ring
Frenzy Totem
Lucid's Earrings
Now the reason why is Reboot is supposed to be the non P2W Server but still being able to enjoy the entire MapleStory experience.
These items could be long term goals for players to achieve through boss drops or quests. I don't see why not they only enhance player experience by making the game more fun.
Ideally Reboot should have AH & Trading to make the ideal MS Server with direct purchase cosmetics only. No Loot boxes. Alot of other F2P games have that and make out just fine.
Also I know alot of people will disagree saying thats the appeal of Marvel/Reg Server. However that is a huge problem in of itself, where the only reason to play is to pay 2 win and gamble 2 win and waste thousands of dollars.
Also before anyway says Nexon makes all this content for free how are they gonna fund new content? Well there is many ways to increase player revenue without predatory gambling mechanics in the game. They could rework the MVP system into $10-15 Optional monthly sub that players can support the game with, getting a couple of free cosmetics NX per month and other benefits like ESO.
Nexon needs to take this game in modern game direction where P2W is entirely gone and MTX are direct purchase only. This is both player friendly and will appeal to bringing in new and returning players.

Your real suggestion essentially boils down to adding the reboot Cash Shop and NPCs to regular servers. $300 per month from whales is still way more than $10-$15 optional per month. Most people will not voluntarily support the game as it is now, just for free cosmetics. I certainly wouldn't.
It's much more lucrative for Nexon to rely on various random reward mechanics because people want or need a certain item right this very second and will gamble for it. MVP is just the incentive/justification to spend that much.
