Why complain about the price of the boxes if people basically said these boxes are pay2win, isnt it safe to assume theyd be overpriced, isnt something that gains advantage supposed to be expensive? either admit these boxes dont fall into the pay2win category and maybe theyll lower the prices or suck it up and quit complaining, if something gained the advantage you wanted others not to pay for, why would you ask for them to be cheap?

Why complain you ask? We complain because when nexon does something shitty to its community because they want to just blatantly rip them off we're gonna say something. whether the vocal ones are a minority, or a majority(like in this case). The community isnt that same complicit little group that it used to be and when the company that runs it throws us and event that just a blatant slap in the face to the largest part of its community we're not gonna take it sitting down. Nexon isnt special, they're not gonna get special treatment and be allowed to give a big middle finger to all of reboot.

Its the same situation if blizzard were to so some shady things to its customers in wow or any of their other game, they'd get called out and the community would group together to get said thing changed. A company doesn't exist without its consumer base,and yeah sure they have plenty of whales that are totally fine with nexon just purposely spitting in their face event after event, but i, and everyone else here that is vocal about nexon not ruining reboot with their p2w tactics like they did with the normal servers. We want reboot to stay as f2p as possible and this event is blatantly against that.

let me put it simpler, pay2win = expensive, and f2p = cheap, therefore if they lowert he prices of the boxes from the 500mil, this event is no longer p2w right? so the basis of categorizing this event as pay2win is now solely on the prices of the box? is this event pay2win or not? if it is, why would they make them cheap?

You obviously dont understand what p2w and f2p mean at all, f2p doesn't mean a cheap alternative to p2w, it means there's no real life cost to doing something in the game, period. Being pay to win means someone can come in and drop some amount of money and be at the same endpoint as someone else who actually put in the work to get there. However, in maple it would be more accurate to say the game is pay for power, allowing someone to com in and pay to get further in the game and i could in a reasonable amount of given time.

f2p means there is no cost to gaining power in the game and allowing the players to all play at the same speed for the same end goal. Giving people a fair and even chance to all be at the end given enough time. Adding things into the game that allow people to pay however much money to gain just that little bit over someone else who wouldnt otherwise be able to obtain said little bit goes against everything reboot was created for. Had you actually played in reboot and understood why the people who play there do play there your little bubble of hate may not exist in the first place.

this is the essence of reboot, everyone has a fair shot to the end and we want it to stay that way. Allowing nexon to do this, this time, opens doors in the future for them to do it again, many times, because they did it before. And no one in reboot wants to hand nexon the key to that door because we all know what happened to the normal servers because they had the key before.

People who dont play on reboot, looking from the outside in, always seem to think that "Just this once wont hurt" in terms of adding P2w things into reboot but fail to realize that the people that actually play the server want nothing to do with the normal server's shi**y "i can spend 1k$ in a day and get to the exact same point as someone who spent 6 months grinding out equipment and mesos to get to that point". Reboot players dont want the nx boxes to contain either of the medals or the perma pendant slot, and if they do we dont want the boxes at all. Whats so hard to understand about that?
