Well, actually Cash Trade allows trade NX items for in-game items or mesos, and even put NX items in shops, while the MTS uses NX as currency, Cash Trade uses mesos. I'd say Cash Trade puts more emphasis on the value of mesos, vs the MTS's emphasis on NX. I have to admit I didn't pay much attention to what went on in the MTS or how people used it, since I only used it for storage, or occasionally for quick NX or mesos, so I can't really say I know much about it. However, I'm pretty sure that Cash Trading will drive down the value of NX items fairly quickly. Like, when I started successfully getting empress equips with my group, the price per equip was pretty high still, but as more and more people gained the ability to finish, at least the summons that dropped equips, the prices quickly crashed, from all the undercutting, in the span of about two or three months, the prices went from hundreds of mil (700m to 1.5b) to like, 70m. Except, with NX, everyone, theoretically, has the ability to buy the items and sell them from the start, so I'd expect prices, and the ratio of NX:mesos, to drop fairly quickly from all the players going and undercutting each other.
