I think that Sephie and although the tone is more critical than I'd like - detex, really hit the nail on the head here. I really appreciate the updates and apologies by Ghiblee, especially in regards to further compensation and awareness of the issue. However, I think that the cynicism and disappointment by the community has really reached a new high, further since because we all hoped that the team had investigated the issue thoroughly and instigated the proper measures. There have been sarcastic posts and memes on reddit and discord about how this second DMT session would be like the first, but I along with many others had faith in the team and was optimistic that things would turn out better. I do think that there was a small improvement, but there was still the noticeable lag, and the constant changing of channels that had to be done to cube; albeit once every 10 minutes. So I am here to express my disappointment with the event, but also to support and encourage the team to maybe take a step back, and reflect on the best way to move forward. Some have suggested a DMT buff that could be given out to players, although I believe this would be hard to do, considering that development changes are made by Nexon KR, and that there are budgets that are put in place that make it very unrealistic to allocate more resources for an event that causes problems every several months.
I don't really know how Nexon HQ operates, but I really hope that our voices can be carried towards the team, and that compensations can be made to the people. My hope is that, hopefully, a measure is taken that really makes the community feel listened to.
I believe the 1 hour increments are so that people feel the fear of missing out (FOMO), so it incentivizes people to cube (during normal servers). The problem lies in the disproportionate amount of people playing Reboot and the amount of people sending requests to maplestory's cubing server, I feel like it's akin to a DDOS attack and that the servers aren't capable of handling all of these responses. I doubt that Nexon will allocate more resources for an event that happens every few months though. They have a budget, but I'm still incredibly disappointed.
I empathize with the other posters on this thread. Cubing an item would take 5 - 10 minutes. It was time-consuming and inefficient, a slap in the face for people who wanted to have a good time, log on, and cube with the community. Personally, I've saved up resources from the last 2 months, and cubed 10 times these last two miracle times. I won't be able to make it to the 3rd because of a family event. I feel sad and tired. I hope that folk from Nexon who view these threads can consider another miracle time, perhaps this Wednesday or extend cube durations and make it next weekend as well.
Although I think that limiting the sales and forcing players to purchase cube packages at regular prices could be financially beneficial to the company's bottom line, I just wanted to express my disappointment with this decision as a regular player.
