Will the customer service or devs even see this forum? I was told by Nexon customer support to post in the forums but I can't tell if it's even been looked at.

There's a decent amount of proof that Nexon reads (But doesn't really reply) to these threads and tickets.
I've had several bugs that I reported fixed in korea a few months later.
Unreliable memory locking you in place if you fell into the river for example, was fixed in a patch a few months after I reported it.
There are more examples of some bugs reported on the forums that get fixed, even if it takes forever.
The problem is that Nexon generally already knows what it wants to do and what players ask for is a lot of work.
So it's just more likely that Nexon already has a plan for what a player complained about, or it isn't in their plan and they don't care.
The memos also prove that they do at least glance at the forums enough to know what players are currently PO'd about.

With this in particular, this is just nexon being nexon with lootboxes and them thinking they can earn more money by making things "sacred."
Much like with how Disney would "pull a movie out of the disney vault" for their DVD/Bluray releases.
It's a business practice that sometimes works by bringing in the company more money, but customers always suffer for it.

It's an MMO. It's not supposed to be fast paced. Time gates exist as a method to give players something to always strive for.
They're a required part of MMOs, get used to it.

and if instead of going alone, they form a group of 3 or more people?

Its not as simple as that. Gollux doesn't have instanced loot, its a free for all. The amount of health is way too much for the prizes he drops, which are the same 30ish coins he gave before, while also having stupidly high prices for Superior items that make this a month long grind for a single accessory. Honestly, the more I think of it, couldn't they just make the shop replenish every week? Unless this is a setup for an excuse of "nobody plays Gollux anymore so we are removing it" I don't see the point of making Gollux a Lotus level boss. This is only going to make the game a bigger grind than it already is.

BIS Items should be from a boss on that level though. Gollux was already a pathetically easy boss who gave the best items in the game.
I for one welcome Gollux being as strong or stronger than lotus. It actually makes his items somewhat more balanced.

We have an extreme overload of threads which have the exact same topic.
Anytime someone actually uses the search function to find a thread that already covered the same topic, it gets locked if it's X months old.
There's absolutely no reason to create a new thread when one already exists that covers the topic.
All this policy does it cause a million threads to pop up on the same topic because why post in an old thread if it's going to get locked anyway?

I'd like to see more of these throwaway threads [Bring back Badges, Fix Kishin, Do things about Botters, Bring Zero to Reboot, etc] all get merged into one thread.
Meanwhile I'd like to see necroposts not get a thread locked until there's actually something wrong with the thread topic itself.
It just makes the forums harder to navigate because we have hundreds of thread on the same topic. Frankly, it's rather annoying.

Personally I only get the won't close bug, a friend of mine has won't close + memory leaks.
I've also heard of a lot of people with both of those plus CPU maxing out.
If we could get some kind of confirmation from Nexon that this is an issue they're looking into, that would be nice.
I could not find nor recall any maple memos that address this fact.
Other than this topic being moved from Bug Reports to Tech Support and one post from @scholar624
Nexon or the VFM haven't seem to have noticed/acknowledged this ongoing issue.

These issues seem to originate from the update near the date of the original post, as I nor my friends had any similar issues before that patch.
