i highly doubt it, quite honestly. Not enough evidence to support the claim that reboot will become a p2w server from this one event.
Any amount of P2W, even a "1 time P2W" is too much P2W for me.
I like to be efficient, if I want to be efficient I have to use P2W features where available. It's the reason I stopped playing regular servers in the first place.
I can't be certain that this thread is representative of the Reboot community, but a clear majority so far are against P2W being introduced into Reboot.
I know personally I would rather not have the boxes at all then have the option to buy them with NX.
I hope I don't have to stop playing Maplestory all together, but I'm not sure P2W, even as a 1 off is something I can accept.
They said in the Stream that the Re:Zero boxes (which give 2 BIS Medals) will be purchasable for Mesos AND NX in Reboot. Please only sell them for Mesos and not NX.
We do not want to be able to buy stat advantages in Reboot.
Could Nebulte Boxes be added to the drop table for all of the Arcane River mobs?
I believe it's most likely an oversight from when the mobs were all ported from KMS (they don't have Nebulite Boxes in KMS), I do not see why it would be intentional. Nebulite Boxes drop from basically everything.
Also, Nebulite boxes also don't drop from the Detour to Oblivion maps, would be nice for them to be added to them also.
