Koolk was arrested!!

On a PS, it's extremely easy to be super strong with no money at all. So people that would have spent money on AP resets/2X exp or drop/marriage/gacha just play on a PS, which does make them lose money.

Okay, being strong on a PS has no direct relation to Nexon's server. Copyright issue aside, which I am not discussing about as Afrobean is addressing this, I am not disagreeing that you need NX for certain classes to wash to be able to HT, itcg to be able to get better gears, gach to get good scrolls/money etc, but Nexon stated that YOU DO NOT HAVE TO use those services, the game is free to play (albeit pay to enjoy).

I am one of many whom hates anyone saying "if you dont like how Nexon treats their customers, quit, it's free to play". They sneakily make things more convenience for you if you have cash shop items. Pet, auto pot, resets, slot expansions, 2x cards etc. Those are there, and like it or not, they will improve your game play if you pay for them.

I'd normally not bother doing this, but I feel I have to point this out. In GMS, can you obtain cash items without NX Trade or buying them via NXCash? The answer is no. Can you on private servers? The answer is very yes.

You're not obliged, but think for a second. What are the odds of you buying NXCash on GMS? Greater than one. What are the odds of you buying NX from Nexon on a private server? Zero. Private servers offer the exact same service as Nexon, with all the benefits and none of the cost. How is that not losing them business?

NX on private servers and NX on Nexon's servers are nothing related. You cannot transfer things from a private server to the main server. To say that one can get free NX points on a private server does not imply one will buy NX on the live server.

Even tho you're highly likely to buy NX on the live server does not stands as an absolute case for losing money. Nexon has made it somewhat necessary to obtain NX to play the game, but they will not admit it, and in fact, they advertised otherwise. Because of that, at the very best they can claim is a potential loss of income. There is no way they can say for certain that they've lost incomes due to private servers.
