Hey,

Currently the prices for all day 2x drop is 4k NX. Why is this the case when the 4 hour version is 1.5k nx? If you have a look at 2x exp coupons you will notice that 4 hour is 1.8k and all day is 3.6k. You simply doubled the price yet with all day 2x drop we pay 1k nx extra....? Shouldn't it be 3k nx for all day drop?

Please consider changing it thank you.

    ... it should literally be 6x the price, then include the lack of tax and the quantity incentive already in the price.

    It's marketing dude, and not unfair marketing at that.

    I know what marketing is. The reason i posted this suggestion is because they changed the prices on 2x coupons ages back but forgot to do the same for 2x drop. It makes very little sense not to change the already cheaper option but rather the more expensive one.

    The price has always been 4k so no, it shouldn't be any higher. Most only grind the 4 hours. Barely anyone grinds enough to get the full use of the all day coupon. They aren't selling more of the all day coupons compared to the 4 hour despite the value of the all day. It's just how it works.

    Marketing 101, they want the one that costs more to look more desirable so you spend more NX.


    "Most only grind the 4 hours. Barely anyone grinds enough to get the full use of the all day coupon. "
    That also assumes everyone has a typical schedule or no free time they allot to the game.
    I put in 10 hours straight once a week bare minimum.

    2x exp has always been more popular than 2x drop by a LONG shot yet they reduced the prices on 2x exp. I can only assume they either ignored or completely forgot above reducing 2x drop or it wasn't on the agenda for "Better Maple" at the time. It has nothing to do with marketing. 2x was already a must have for people who grinded and 2x has always been bought more often than 2x drop even BEFORE they changed the prices. It was already more desirable than 2x drop since forever. If they wanted to make 2x drop more desirable they'd reduce it like they did with 2x exp.

    You mean you put 10 hours a week. Not straight. 10 hours is also incredibly minor. When grinding to 250 you have 2x running almost non stop. Nexon is making 25.2 (28 before the changes) dollars a week from these players assuming they hardcore grind every day which was the case when people were competing for ranks.
