So apparently the big issue with reboot zero is the weapon's system? i was told...kinda wish there were some clarification on why though. @Arwoo

Arwoo stopped qorking for gms a LONG time ago, now the CM is Giblee

And you're quoting a post from December 2017, when Arwoo was CM.

Timed events are a different discussion. Even before the UTC change many people, both American and European, were missing certain events, often due to their own schedules, often due to the placement of the event, often due to poorly planned maintenance times.
Things like Flag Race and Orchid's Call quest should just run once every hour of every day, along with other specifically timed quests, and that has been suggested many times before.
They've spread out the 2x times more to make sure people everywhere have more of a chance to attend at least once. Why not do the same for other events?
UTC reset can stay where it is though, I see no problem with it other than some people being too dumb to account for daylight savings themselves or being unable to google time conversions.
Having different time zones for EU and NA would re-introduce the hassle of having daylight savings maintenance twice a year, and open up even more inconsistencies for both players and Nexon to keep track of.

Retail shopping centers provide such a discount, and they are not entirely a necessity, but also a luxury also. What's the difference? Nothing, I'm just saying it would be cool to have that option for military members, and it doesn't entirely have to be limited to US military, but rather any military members throughout GMS.

"Retail shopping centers", there is your difference. The game is free. There is your discount.
You know as well as I do that there is no way Nexon would implement a (functional) system to verify military members across the world, and then offer them a discount. They've already made it clear that they don't want to associate with politics. I don't imagine they'd take a public stand and offer discounts to military members of several countries.
Even verifying students across the world would be difficult.
The only discount that would be somewhat easily verified is seniors.

You might be opposed to it as you are probably the majority of the players who aren't military members, but I'm just speaking on behalf of the minority of players who are. Whether you agree with it or not, it's not a terrible idea.

Ah the classic limp "you disagree because it doesn't apply to you" argument, based on nothing but personal bias and thoughtless assumption.
No, I disagree because it makes no sense to implement it as I explained before.

I can't think of any other global online game, free or otherwise, that offers military discounts on their currency or subscription. But please give examples if you have any so that we can examine the differences.

But logically why? The classes are separated by race essentially. You'd have to wait for new class releases within the same race. Arbitrarily lumping races together because "cash shop is lonely" seems like a lot of effort for no real reason.
Who would be included where and why. Chances are the classes you personally want to share CS wouldn't even be combined.

It'd make more sense, and be more realistic, to ask for more frequent cash shop transfer events or opening up the race restrictions entirely.

While we're at it add a discount for broke college kids, single moms and dads, mentally or physically disabled people, recovering addicts and abuse victims, and so on.
And only U.S. based people in need, of course.

Real answer though, the game is already free. NX is a luxury and not a necessity, there is also numerous ways of getting Maple Points in-game without spending a single dollar.
If Nexon were to actually implement any type of targeted discounts it'd just be for a quick PR stunt. So maybe you can look forward to when they remove kishin or the next piece of content and they suddenly need to look good. But again, just to U.S. based people.

I wouldn't say it is a 100% not a necessity, even in Reboot you are in need of a pet, but that's beyond the point of the post.

To OP: I don't agree on discount for only a very specific group of people, its not a public service or museum trip, its an online game.

Last time I checked Hilla's Blackheart was entirely free. You also get a free Snail at the start and then a Puffram via tutorial. And event pets are also free.
But yes, my point is that there is no obligatory entry fee or check out point where you would otherwise get a military discount, student discount or senior discount.
