Honestly you should've known the nerf to the santa boxes was coming, I don't understand why it wasn't capped at 30 coins though.

What I'm more upset about is that this happens with literally almost every coin shop we get. There is always a source of coins that Nexon didn't even pause to think about, so its uncapped. Allowing a few people with no life to gather enough coins to buy out the shop on what is actually an exploit (considering it is always, always patched), while then turning around and saying "Nope, f**k the rest of you, you have to grind your life out to get as many coins over the next few weeks that these guys got in a few hours."

No rollbacks ever come anymore to stop like this. No measures are ever taken beforehand to ensure it doesn't happen again and again and again. Never. Nexon doesn't seem to actually care. If they did we wouldn't face this problem with every single coin shop. If they did we would be getting rollbacks when it did happen so that no one would get an unfair advantage in this game due to having been able to devote dozens of hours to farming coins before whatever limit was forgotten about is implemented in a hotfix.

This is the big problem. The big, flashing-red-lights problem is that they "forget" about one source of coins, as you said, and then they slap a limit on there after people have been able to buy out the entire shop. But the bigger problem THIS time around, is the fact that not only do we suffer through a week of unplayable levels of server lag, but we then lose our CM for no rightly-explained reason and we get what I can only call a knee-jerk reaction cap placed on the coins we can gain.

Seriously, guys? Ten coins? TEN coins?! What, are you expecting us to enjoy 40 coins per day(until the 15th at least, when that drops to 10 coins per day) and say "please sir, may I have another" at the same time? I get wanting to make us decide between the utilitarian coin shop items, a couple chairs(or one chair) and/or damage skins or the Vengeful ring, but this is simply bordering on absurd levels of "we didn't actually think this through in any meaningful extent of the phrase".

I know I tend to be one who sides with Nexon on most things, or at the very least I try to maintain an opinion of "hey, sometimes things happen", and I oftentimes try to redirect people's anger away from people who have nothing to do with the issue or can't do anything about it, but this is something I cannot and will not try to rationalize or defend. Hell, if I did I'd probably be the first to attempt to rationalize it at any point in the chain. But no, no part of this looks like anything other than a last second "oh crap we should do something about that" decision that, as gamechanger above me has said, does nothing but harm and hamper those who do not have the time or means to farm thousands of boxes in a matter of a few hours. And, once again it seems, no effort will be made on the part of Nexon to atone for their mistake that, effectively, punishes those who did not farm thousands upon thousands of boxes ever since the server clock ticked over to the 7th, triggering boxes to start dropping. Just like the Hunter's Club event.

Just for yucks, here is a screenshot I took of the full patch notes from last night, timestamped to 12:21:37 AM, Eastern Standard Time. As evidenced by the highlighting, it was taken for wholly different reasons, but you'll be able to note the lack of any mention of a coin limit being imposed upon the Shining Santa Boxes. Which leads me to believe that the line(which originally stated "The V Coins obtained from Shining Santa Boxes now have a limit of 10 coins per day.", and now states this) was added last-minute in the hopes of not being called out on yet another ninja nerf.

I'm not mad or angry, Nexon. I'm just disappointed. I understand that the boxes should have had a limit on them in the first place, but that is not the fault of the players that no one thought to double check to make certain there was a limit in place. And, as I said before, you are once again taking measures that only punish and inhibit those who could not, or are not able to, farm and open literally thousands of boxes in the day and night leading up to today's maintenance.

ahahaha rip christmas events

hopefully it replaces FM i haven't seen the FM in reboot active for a while unlike it used to be with the rooms all filled and people spamming for items to buy and sell.
i haven't seen the auction house in this game but i assume it's like every other game, sell item for certain price paying a fee to sell it and then get taxed for said item after being sold. if this is the case i really don't see any difference compared to the fm atm since it's empty nobody is bidding on items and when people set up shop it's at a certain price already it just takes time to view all the items in every store from room to room

Excuse me what. Did you uh... forget the whole "no inter-player transactions of any sort" part of Reboot?

Cool. How about fixing the game issues? Not spending a penny on maple this year.

Not to burst your bubble or anything but uh



"I'm not spending a penny on maple this year" doesn't really hold much weight when you declare it on the 7th of December.

Thank you.

Can we get some sort of reasoning as to why Michael was let go? It's beyond apparent from his personal twitter account(assuming he's lost access to all Maplestory-related accounts) that this was neither his choice nor expected.
