The answer to these questions is that players continue to spend enough money (and time) to signal to Nexon that their monetization strategies work.
My only suggestion to anyone reading this is to please consider how you spend your money (and time) with this company. Consider not buying RNG boxes even if its disappointing to be missing out on a collaboration event, for example. Consider simply not doing an event, if you find it too tedious or burdonsome.
People jest about FOMO, but the struggle against it is very real. Many of those complaining about how expensive or time consuming such and such content is continue to support Nexon with their TIME and MONEY (happily or begrudgingly)
Anyways, i sympathize with your post. If you look at my post history, you will see several suggestions about changing philo books in a way that's less toxic. I stopped spending money with Nexon since i do not like their approach to various sales and events. too many RNG traps, and disrespectfully trash fluf items in philo, etc.
the sad thing is that, at least in gms reg servers, the one time these afk mobs could actually be useful, they are useless because of the use of certain "high chairs" being able to avoid them.. So you get people sitting in high chairs in limina while being afk and avoiding the afk mob....then eventually coming back and starting all sorts of drama with people who "take" their maps that they weren't even using...
ffs. if your going to keep these anti afk mobs in the game at least fix the high chair exploit...
In the last year GMS will have lost Jett class, Alien Visitor, Monad, Wild Totems, spawn-Kishin, old Dalair medals, 2x cash drop coupons, etc. Seems like we are definitely in some sort of consolidation period. What's next to be removed? "Bigger" content like Masteria? Commerci? Perhaps "smaller" removals like Maple Tour?
Witnessing all of this in the last year or so has really lowered my expectations of this company. My confidence in this game has also gone down.
Patch notes and upcoming events should be exciting and optimistic. Instead, these days i find myself dreading the next significant nerf thrown onto a list of "bug fixes" [commerci flame transposing] or content removal...
Am i missing something? both images indicate that you have 9 badges, not 10. The first picture shows 8 equipped and 1 on the bottom. The second picture shows in the corner "9/43" badges
