Nexon always rewards the returning players and the new players but how come they never reward the Loyal players that have been sticking with them through thick and thin? It gets to be where i would be better off not playing for months then coming back so i could get some cool stuff then actually playing the game. I wish they would put as much effort into retaining players as getting new ones but I guess that is Nexons logic.
Just the thoughts of a Loyal player.

I played when there were only the explorer class and NOW.
We loyal and veterans player get nothing.
I always came back to the game.
Seriously they should reward us old players.

However, when you think about it more, you realize that while you play the game you get opportunities to earn all sorts of nice things, that people who are on a break miss out on. That's in addition to routine leveling up and collecting meso, which they obviously don't do while not playing. The idea of "welcome back" gifts is to help them catch up.
Let's look at what returning players are getting this time (and not for free, they have to do attendance for it) :
100m meso - It might look like a lot, but how many meso did you loot (or gain by NPC'ing boss drops) over the past three months?
120 power elixirs - That's less than one day's basic bossing, even if you're not doing anything beyond Zakum, Hilla, and Easy HT.
150 spell traces - One sudden mission.
50 all-cure potions - Drop from elite mobs.
Unique Potential Scroll - Well, that's certainly a rare reward! But we got one from the Rocket Rider event.
Bonus Potential Scroll - Also not easy to come by. I seem to recall we got one recently, but I can't remember which event it was from.
Let's look at what they missed out on:
- A whole bunch of attendance and attendance-like events, giving all sorts of stuff: 2x exp/drop coupons, damage skins, chairs, nodestones, epic potential scrolls, cubes, etc, etc.
- Burning Project
- Pink Bean event
- All the anniversary events, gifts and equipment, and all the goodies in the anniversary coin shop
And a whole lot more.
Still think you'd have been better off to not play for the past 3 months?
But we do get those gifts. They're usually in Hot Weeks. No work, just log in and click on the box.
Which is less than the returning players are having to do now to get their gifts.
At least this time they need to work for the rewards. As in, an attendance. And the best prize is just a 100% unique potential scroll lol. It's pretty good, but not wolf fam good.
You just described hot week/attendance events. Like, to a T lol. Except I guess they announce those in advance. But if a returning player came on every time they announced those, they'd never really qualify for the returning player rewards lol. I dunno, maybe a hot week event that was only for people that logged in at least once in the past week might be nice once in a while.
(also, isn't everyone able to do the returning player attendance? or is it a hilarious error where returning players are the ONLY ones not able to do it lol?)
Nexon has learned since (or just gotten more miserly), and returning player rewards haven't been "worth not playing" in a long time.
As for the attendance - yes, they said they fixed it in the unscheduled maintenance, but they didn't. I know there are some people who can't do it, but I haven't been able to figure out why.
