Nexon creates artificial scarcity with limited item sales. The marginal cost of a 2x card is next to nothing (on the order of 1/10th of 1 cent, if that). The marginal revenue increases (? - not sure) with artificial scarcity because those who are not able to buy the discounted items are then forced to spend it elsewhere in the cash shop due to how asset exchange transactions work for converting dollars to NX Cash. I wish they would state what the limitation is so people can further be prepared for how much competition there will be for a product. Or at least they could implement per-account limitations (1 per account) so that each person can at least get one. By the time a person attempts to relog, chances are that all items will be gone by then. This stops people from hoarding a massive load and spreads the sale benefit on as many users as possible.
