1. Nexon Korea seems to be doing quite fine with events that don't require NX. I realize that making an event for Global is really tricky, as there are many different cultures, but seeing as July 4th can be an event for Global, why can't they design something like the Moon Festival was for KMS? (Christmas was ok, but I was a 1x nub then, so my opinion on that is biased) It's not whether they have to host an event, it's making one that's unique in its own way. All October (this one at any rate) is just "buy NX/ MTS merchant if you want good stuff!" month.
2.Based on the masses of nubs (active and inactive), and relatively small 4th-job/ high 3rd job population, the average rounds out to about ... the 4x lvls (since after there, the population above [x]xx level gets much smaller). Aside from PACs, which benifit the statless class builds (who tend to have NX anyways, asides from lukless mages) none of the list seems to benifit the "average" person, besides selling it off again clean, since they would lack the money to scroll. Even adjusting to 6x, only the PACs still stand out as something you could actually use, and if scrolling (more NX, if you didn't have it) fails/ blows up anything, there goes potentially millions in mesos, or several thousand NX (especially if the 7th slot is the one to blow up), and zilch in anything benifits no one. If you even reach this step with success, you're probably rich (or very lucky), therefore not "average", per se, and that scrolled item is just sold off at a high price (obviously for profit), to another rich person with lots of mesos/ NX. That's how the rich get richer, and average people go nowhere.
