They told us initially that the 2x Special Drop Coupons are a low-popularity item, but then they review the PURCHASE RATE and tell us the PURCHASE RATE of the item...

This is nice and all, but I still want to know the POPULARITY RATE of the item.
How many people out of the total amount of players bought this item?

I knew from the beginning they slipped the item in at the bottom of the post hoping no one would notice. The reason for the removal was always about the balance of the game and I am surprised the item was not removed years ago to be honest.

Next time, when you do stuff like this Nexon, you got to come up with a solution that introduces something positive when taking something away that players like. Like you could introduce 30 minutes Wild Totems (in addition to the already 120 minutes Wild Totems) to the game with Small Wealth Acquisition Potions as something for players to be happy with (and gets more players coming on and playing as well which is also good for the game long-term).
~ It helps everyone be able to slowly grind each day of Maple in small 30-min chunks at a time and not upset the game-economy since it is more options to grind, but not giving more than what the game already gives. (And it makes Reboot players happy.)
