For example, the perma NX sale, or almost any other sale for that matter. There have been numerous times when people have bought things at full price 1 day, a week or so, right before the sale. Then the sale comes, and they wish they knew about it earlier.
For BB, we know about it which is why we know to wait. But the population that knows BB will bring SP resets is sitll relatively small.
My main point is we have prior knowledge of what's to come. In most cases, Nexon (and for stores), real life, we don't know when their sales are, otherwise we'd buy only during the sales instead of full price. I don't believe KMSers knew an SP reset was coming, they could only speculate but there was no guarantee. If BB happened for them in one patch with no 'hype' given, and SP resets came out, the people who bought NX ones would be in the same boat and probably would complain for a day or so then stop.
If you don't wanna buy them, then don't. Very rarely do people even buy these resets to begin with so Nexon will probably make relatively little money on those SP resets anyway.
I know you have to stand up for Nexon whenever you get a chance, but REALLY? This time? Claiming that it's OKAY because WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW? That makes it WORSE. They know we'll be getting full SP resets, and they know we know because it's been spammed all over their forums. They're taking advantage of the people who don't know. This is pretty close to, if not actually, a bait-and-switch. It's a deplorable way to run a business at any rate.
And almost any real store knows they'll be having sales quite a while before they actually have them. And even if they don't, I've never seen a store have a sale and then when the sale ends immediately GIVE OUT THE PRODUCT FOR FREE THAT THEY JUST WHORED.
If you want to white knight for Nexon, that's fine and respectable, but if you want people to take you seriously you need to pick your battles because this is completely unjustifiable.
