Improving Reward Points:


Make reward points function excatly the same as they do in : KMS/JMS/CMS/TMS/ThaiMS/MSEA
In those regions you are able to buy some cash shop items with full reward points price ( 100% Reward Point and 30% Reward Points Options, and not just a 30% discount )
  • Items Like: 90 day Cash clothes, pets ,pet skills, pet equips, and the list goes on....

  • This would be amazing because we could buy temp nx or other good stuff from the cash shop with reward points only.
    again, not all of the items in the cash shop are purchasable with full reward points

  • ( instead of paying, for ex: 2,500 NX, you can pay 2,500 in Reward points to purchase an item from the cash shop )
    not from the rewards shop.

Edit more info about this: In KMS you can choose to pay with 30% mileage or 100%. The latter will make the cash item unable to payback, trade or gift.
Items that cannot be purchased with Mileage:

- Limited items, discounted items and packages
- Power Elixirs, Monster Life related items ( Power Elixirs comes as a bonus when purchasing maple points coupon from the cash shop in the other regions )
- Gacha items (pandora box, royal etc)
- Items with gift function like friendship rings

You can buy Cash items using 100% Mileage! Some items have a limit per Nexon ID, you cannot gift, trade, or pay-back items bought from the Mileage Shop.

In addition to regular methods of collecting Mileage, you can now defeat Elite Monsters and get Mileage Packages. These can be used up to 5 times per Maple ID and give 50~80 Mileage each.


Credit for the extra information goes to: Spadow and OrangeMushroom


Now i know it's a small thing but... having played kms as low-level player i was Level 30, and got 60 Reward point token by defeating a tough elite mob or monster, however you want to call it, just... felt.... Incredibly Rewarding, and just that little thing made me want to continue playing, it's like the game said: "Well Done for clearing this hard content, here's a reward for your efforts"

it's those little things that keep the players coming back for more :)


And please make all NX Equips in the Cash shop have a permanent duration.




PS. I know that Botters and Hackers are a HUGE problem in GMS, but we shouldn't suffer just because of them.
ie : meso market wasn't implemented in gms for a while because of botters, but look now, we have the meso market, and everythings fine, mesos are still inflated, and were inflated even before the meso-market was introduced.

* Also note that ThaiMS ( Thailand ) is a new server and they already have all of the above features.
Yes Can confirm played on that server, everything is accurate.

Here's a video of a ThaiMS Player buying a perm cash clothes with Mileage only ( Reward Points ) he has 6 Cash ( NX ), 82 Maple Points, and 57 Mileage ( Reward Points ) before he buys the item, after he bought the item he is left with 8 Mileage ( Reward Points ) , 6 Cash ( NX ), and 82 Maple Points.

The currency at Thailand is different, and the a ThaiMS player told me, that 1 Cash = 1 Thai baht so the cash items at ThaiMS are not cheaper then in GMS or Vice Versa.
( Start watching from: 1:25 )





Terms:
  • THMS / ThaiMS = Thailand MapleStory
  • TMS = Taiwan / Hong Kong MapleStory
  • CMS = China MapleStory
  • KMS = Korea MapleStory
  • JMS = Japan MapleStory
  • EMS = Europe MapleStory
  • GMS = Global MapleStory
  • MapleSEA / MSEA = South East Asia MapleStory
  • Mileage = Reward Points

*Edit: Apparently you can even purchase items with full reward points in MapleSEA ( So Reward points works the same way across all the regions, besides GMS )


Improve Cash Items, and Crafted Cubes and possibly Crafted Flames, Make them all fully Tradeable:

In Every Region Besides GMS, players can freely trade: Pets / Red, Black, Bonus Cubes / Crafted Flames and Crafted Cubes / PSOK / Cash Scrolls / Style Boxes etc,
in the Auction house or to other players.

That's the real big change nexon should make, i'm sick of having Account Tradeable only Nodestones because of excuses like: "It's Because of Botters and hackers"
*I know that you can get fully tradeable Nodestones from nodecrafting, but that's just not enough. ( also with the lower drop rate we get even less nodestones then before, so less node shards in turn making even less crafted nodes.

This really kills the market, you know how awesome would it be to buy a perm pet or a bonus potential cube from the auction house ?
or let's say you done cubing and you got 5 cubes left, in current gms you get 3 options:

1. Cube something else and hope for the best
2. Sell it as a service to someone else
3. Let it rot in your inventory until it expires

In the other regions ( yes every region besides GMS, i'm talking about KMS, TMS, CMS Etc..., even MSEA which is ran by Asia Soft which Many Sea players keep saying they are an even worse company )

Players have 5 Options:

1. Cube something else and hope for the best
2. Sell it as a service to someone else
3. Sell it in the auction house for mesos
4. trade it to another player for meso or service
5. Let it rot in your inventory until it expires

Here's the Auction House in KMS:

*Note: That in order for a Cash or NX item to be fully tradeable to either; another player, or to sell in the auction house, the item Must be bought with NX-Only Cash items bought with Maple Points, or Reward Points ( if we get the option to use 100% Reward Points on certain Cash Items like in other regions )
are Not Tradeable at all.

So someone still has to pay NX for the item ( but that someone has the choice to either, use it, or sell it )

And obviously the item must not be used ( can't trade perm nx after you wear it ), or a cash coupon after you used it.

*I don't know how would GMS' NX-Prepaid and NX-Credit Unique System would work with that however, ( GMS is the only region with NX credit and Prepaid, other regions only have 4 options; Cash ( NX ), Maple Points, 30% Reward Points Discount, Pay with 100% Reward Points ( for certain items like pets and cash clothes )


Please Nexon, listen to us; introduce/implement this suggestions and PERM NX in the cash shop, then we get PERM NX in the cash shop, instead of 90 days, and you get that money from us ( because it would have a permanent duration instead of 90 days, people would start buying )


TL;DR:
GMS Should make all Cash Equipment Tradeable with other players and in the Auction House ( Like all the other regions can )
that is why KMS Regular Server are more popular then reboot ( You can buy Red, Black,Bonus Potential cubes or even pets with Meso from the Auction House )

All Cash Items purchased with NX would be Fully Tradeable to other players, and to sell on the Auction House, Remove Trading restrictions of Most of the items, like Crafted cubes, dropped Nodestones, and possible Crafted Flames.

Make GMS' Reward Point Function The Same as KMS' Mileage: Being able to buy certain items from the cash shop with 100% Reward Points like; Pets, Cash Clothes, etc.
and make Elite Mobs and Bosses drop Reward Point Token ( that give about 50 - 80, and have a limit of 5 Per Day )

Remove Trading Restrictions from items that have the prefix: "Transferable Through Account Only" in GMS, Allow us to fully trade Cash Items in the Auction House and With Other Players, like the other regions can, that should help everyone tremendously

Add to the poll: And The Tradeability of all Cash Items.

Then Everyone will be Happy <3

    Why do we get shafted in gms all the time, and why the players keep putting up with this bullshit. D:

    i never knew reward points worked like that across different versions.

    how awesome would that be, if we could buy pets or nx equpis with reward points :D

    and i would love it, if i could just buy a psok from the auction house to either sell my tyrants, or psok them to mules, or just buy some red/black cubes : D

    and why did nexon make master craftsman's and meister cubes, only tradable within our own account ( talk about killing the market ) :/

    we should stop letting nexon step on us, and do whatever they please, (reboot only perm nx packages anyone ?)

    and if other services got it, so it's a no brainer that we in gms should have it as well. (like seriously why the hell can't we buy stuff from the cash shop using only reward points, it's a no brainer, i know a lot of people that would come back playing this game, if we could buy stuff from the cash shop with reward poins, and it promotes gamplay and character investment ( because it's not easy killing all the necessary bosses, to accumulate enough reward points )

    and as i see it other services have it, and they seem to be fine, so we should get it for gms too, pretty please nexon :D

    +10 to this suggestion, you sir deserve a Cookie Jar (with cookies in it) :D

    Appraently you can purchase items with reward points alone, even in MapleSEA.

    *so gms is the only region that lacks support for purchasing items like: pets,pet equpis with RP instead of NX ( full rp price, and not a 30% Discount )

    *RP stands for: Reward Points.

    i agree. i don't really use my RP because the RP section has nothing that i want, so they just end up going to waste. being able to buy pets would be nice. i mean, the water of life is in the RP so, why not some pets as well?

    It just makes me angry that GMS is the only one without content like this, all because of stupid excuses like hackers or something!
    Like what gives?!
    Ugh, I'm about to punch a wall.
    But that is wall abuse..!

    Geeze... if anything put 5 BPot cubes in the shop monthly. Now even the Ebosses drop the bonus potential scrolls. Who wants to saddled with terrible Bpots without a chance to ever change them unless you spend a lot of money on it? BTW I do spend money on the game just not house or car payment like purchases like the obsessive people and Bpot cubes are huge ripoff. They want to charge people black cube prices on red cube results on lines that aren't as good as regular pontential.

    This is likely one of the many changes which punish us all because they can't handle the hacker problem.

    Similarly:
    why can't we trade cubes crafted by smithing like other versions?

    This is only a guess of course, but why else would they force our RP to have a limited quantity shop being the only place we can use them.

    Why should we suffer because of the hackers, because of hackers we can't buy clothing from the cash shop with reward points, because of hackers our meso has trash rates, because of hackers we can't trade crafted cubes ( They were tradeable until the v175 HoM Blaster Update ) and our nodestones aren't tradeable like they are in other versions we don't have a lot of nice things, because of the hackers, the hackers are LITERALLY RUINING THE GAME EXPERIENCE FOR ALL OF US!!

    And in the end the hackers get Trillions of Mesos per day or maybe per couple of hours?/cubes/cash items/nodestones/etc, and then sell it for real life money profit, rinse and repeat, while we have to go by scraps/dupes, and we also have lag because they bot away and killl 99 Million monsters per seconds, and dupe items of course, overall they are killing all the nice things that the game either has or had and continue to do so.

    The worst part is that insted of giving us the options wether we want X thing or not, nexon decides themselves and tries to circumvent the hackers, but they are also circumventing us along the way! and failing to circumvent the hackers in the first place because as i have mention they have much better means of getting something, sadly

    ( while it doesn't affect the hackers at all, it affects us, we cannot trade cash items in the aution house, we are forced to either pay NX, or buy maple points from our over inflated mesos/black market prices ( which is caused by the hackers/meso sellers/botters botting for mesos for 24/7 and over inflating the economy even more every single day )

    Which is an absolute nightmare to a new player, and most just quit after seeing the abysmal prices of items.

    it would be so nice if we could buy a red/black/bonus cube for meso not 30 Billion but for a decent price from the auction house, it would be very nice if we had a somewhat decent economy, that would also help newer players, as they won't be intimidated by the pricing of every single thing ( especially end game items which go for way abve 300 Billion Mesos, or the other Currency if you know what i mean, hint; $$$, you know the game's economy is a mess when 100 Million = nothing to almost everyone 100 Million!

    I hope that one day, we could have the nice features, because meanwhile we get nothing, while the hackers get everything and i mean EVERYTHING!
    6ah6rSL.png

    My main point is that nothing that nexon tried or does to circumvent the hackers/botters/etc ever works on them, it only affects us the legit players in the worst way possible, 1 example making craftable cubes account bound, killed the market for selling/buying crafted cubes, while the hackers buys black cubes for free with their Trillions of botted meso stacks.

    So Please NEXON Start To Care About Your Players That Still Love This Game <3

    I just found this thread and the facts frustrate me. It's so unfair that gms players are the only ones to suffer. A lot of my friends and acquaintances are quitting because how p2w this game is and that there's not much to do anymore. Even I'm slowing down as I don't feel like working for anything ingame nowadays. I've stopped bossing because my friends don't go and I just don't have a use for my RP. I used to play star planet for hours to collect RP and then later moved onto bosses. The main thing I bought from the RP shop was the 1 day robo store but now that's gone...

    Also speaking of Maple Fest, someone should definitely ask the devs about this suggestion.

    and i'm sure they know what it is, because they are the "Overseas Devs" so the devs of all the services except KMS, and as i mention in this thread, this feature is present in all the services except gms.
