NX items 90 day duration change to Permanent

The cash shops direct purchase selection of cosmetic equips was modified in global maplestory to have the equips expire every 90 days, which implies the reasoning is to generate recurrent spending, Making the player need to re buy these items if they are intent on wearing them long term. However what ends up happening is these items are not pursued by the majority of the playerbase, and only purchased from an unsuspecting player who is not aware of the implications of the duration, leading to very little recurrent spending or initial purchases. In comparison, the only other way to get permanent equips via surprise style boxes is a rotating pool of items which may or may not contain what the player is looking for, and players need to buy extensive amount of boxes to get the singular set of items, which bars a majority of light spenders to be able to buy these surprise style boxes. There also exists direct purchase boxes with a predetermined outfit set which generally sell well, however these seem to be put into the cash shop much less frequency. in Korea maplestory the items not in set boxes or surprise style boxes, purchased directly from the cash shop do not have a 90 day limit. If the items were made similar to korean maplestory with them being permanent, then the total sales of these equips will outweigh the potential for recurrent spending, and you would be able to generate more initial purchases on these items which will also outperform the total number of recurrent sales with current implementation. Players value utility and a good deal, and these limits are counterintuitive, limiting the potential of the cash shop sales, rather than increasing them. In conclusion the 90 day equips obtained from direct purchases should be changed to permanent, in line with the korean official server, and more boxes that are not affected by RNG that contain a fully predetermined outfit should also be sold.
