Yea all the boycotters are pretty much already boycotting nexon and have been for awhile now. This should only go out to the whales, who will most likely ignore it once the next cash grab rolls out. It's a doomed project from the start.
I think nexon got a little overconfident allowing the arcane express pass in reboot not too long ago. However that system wasn’t intended to supplant arcane dailies, so most rebooters didn’t bother.
‘Maple tour’ on the other hand came with the end of low level kanna farming so that you are essentially forced to use it. And its absurd that there’s loophole allowing you to pay for progress on a server that revolves around free progress.
I refuse to believe this was an oversight by Nexon but regardless, selling additional entries for maple points has got to be the biggest blunder since the world transfer of 2017.
