So since the GM suggested that I make a post I'll just make a post out of desperation.

Since PSB is a system piped down from KMS, I expect this post to not really influence any decision by Nexon whatsoever.

So I just spent 500k nx on the current rotation trying to get one item. Although there are other things I liked in this rotation, the one item I wanted the most was the Darknell Cape. Since 2018, there has not been a cape in the box rotations that I wanted (the Schwarzer set has not come back ever since). After seeing this cape along with the other nx that were in the set, I decided to roll.

I know that to aim for a single item is pretty stupid, but come on.. opening 150 boxes and not hitting the 2% on the one item with no other way to get it is just a little absurd. If you don't want to do the simple math 0.98^150 = 0.048 = 4.8% chance that this was the outcome after opening 150 boxes

Since I play in reboot, I understand that there are limitations and restrictions that I have to follow as I chose this server. Even if trying to roll for a 2% item is a crazy, I believe that having a cosmetic item within a system that has no pity breakers is just pretty hard for me to swallow. Since it's a cosmetic item and has no impact on the actual gameplay, there should be some other ways to obtain these items, or some way to have past items come back in the rotations.

I know that the stamp exchange is a thing, but the items in the shops are just random most of the time. There should at least be a voting system or some what to have items in the shops so that players can vote what they can trade in unwanted PSB items for. It just feels like absolute garbage to get 10+ dupes on multiple items and having to trade it in for stamps in a shop with nothing that people want (most of the time). I guess another proposal is to just have a shop where you can trade in stamps for items in the current rotation at an inflated stamp price, i.e 50 or something for a single item in the rotation.

This post is honestly just me being upset and desperate that after spending 500k nx I wasn't able to get the one single item I wanted the most in the rotation. This is not a suggestion for other chance systems such as starforce, cubes, flames or boxes that open with actual items that can aid and strengthen your character (phlo books and wonderberries), this is purely a suggestion for the gacha cosmetic system.

I am not looking for any life advice or some suggestion to spend my money better, believe me I know more than anyone else that me spending this much money was definitely not a good decision lol
