Reward Points System Needs an Overhaul

Nexon, the current Reward Points system makes no sense.

1️⃣ Weird Limits: There's a 5K daily cap and a 50K monthly cap, but why? The Reward Shop already controls purchase limits on items Nexon cares about, while others have unlimited purchases. The earning cap feels redundant.

2️⃣ Bossing Disparity: CRA, which can be soloed on a fresh account, gives 200 points—the same as Extreme Kaling, a boss so difficult 99.9% of the player base can't and won't be able to clear for a while.. Shouldn't harder content be worth more?

3️⃣ Confusing Cash Shop Errors: If you hit the daily/monthly limit, the message just says "You didn't get points" with no explanation. It should tell us why—whether it's due to the cap or another reason.

Please consider adjusting boss rewards based on difficulty, removing redundant limits, and fixing unclear error messages in the Cash Shop. The system is outdated and needs a refresh!

Would love to hear what others think.

    ~ increase monthly cap to 100,000 (100k) reward points, from 50,000 (50k)

    ~ expand the reward shop even further, especially for Heroic Worlds.
    - Maple Tour tickets with reward points would be nice. Besides this, add a bunch of fun things for more choice of what to buy.

    Some other worthwhile rewards worth adding to the shop are Bonus Bright Cubes to Regular Server and maybe Red/Blue Cards for both servers. And for the love of god, don't put a purchase limit on them. Inkwell removing the purchase limit on Cash Shop scrolls was a really nice change so we were able to buy more than 2 of the same cash scroll per month.

    Also a separate counter can be displayed in the inventory tab below the Mesos and Maple Point counter to maybe display your NX and Reward Points balance without going into the cash shop. This would make the window a bit taller but it should display more useful info. Another space saving but uglier approach is to display in the empty space just to the right of the DEC tab in the inventory.

    I don't see any reason for a cap, wether it's monthly or daily.
    The reward shop is already limited for any item thats even remotely good.
    Wether you make 50k, 100k, or 1.5m reward point a month, it literally wouldn't affect anything in the economy or even your accounts progression.
