because the CS won't affect gameplay...

Ever play Trickster? Its Cash Shop started off with low level equipment which easily got surpassed by in game equips. Then they just started adding more and more equipments which just got better and better until eventually the only real way to play that game is to literally buy their Cash Shop items or just give the hell up.

+1 all stat ring can simply be a spark.

No, if you can't enjoy this game without paying, then that's your problem - not Nexon's. There's still many people who don't spend a penny on this game and have a great time. It's not all about leveling as fast as you can and becoming as rich as you can. The things you said are just, once again, stemming from your insanely negative bias against Nexon.

Yep. I haven't paid a single cent to Nexon but I enjoy the game to the fullest simply because I use the MTS. It's really not difficult. If anyone wants Scanian conversions, that ring costs around 12~15m mesos, which isn't worth it unless you're a true stat whore.

Exactly it's not even like you can slap some Chaos scrolls on it. Oh and don't forget in 90 days it expires so you would have to keep buying it over and over.

who cares about a shitty +1.

who cares about a pomegranatety +1.

The people who have been around since Scania/Bera/Perion Ch1/Old FM who remember Nexon saying that there will be "no advantage" to cash users. Then we have Gach, iTCG, shop permits, onyx apples, MTS, pet loots, meso bags, EXP Gach, and now stat rings. Effectively, you can buy items, mesos, and even EXP, all directly, for real dollars.To those who say that "it's not a slippery slope," just take a look at how the game has changed.

At least MTS allows people to make NX without having to pay, although in reality Nexon's still getting every dollar (plus some because of the tax bite) of the NX.

Statless characters? One Dex could cost a NL millions in the right scenario. ._.

People who say "One stat to everything isnt a big deal" arent seeing the big picture, your character was never directly affected by CS items in a way such as this (in other ways, yes) before. Sure its nothing now, but then come 2 stat rings, and 5 stat rings, 8 stat rings, where does it stop?


Answer is, it doesnt.

Scrolling pet equips affected your character.

Look at the even bigger picture. What about SCGs, FS, etc... Why aren't there 40 base att gloves right now? Because nexon aren't as stupid as you want to make them out to be.

Question

How the pineapple does it affect you that someone else can get some more damage than you? Your e-penis is gonna feel shorter than normal? Why the hell do you care about other people, worry about yourself. Some of my friends have a lot more NX than me, have better gear, do i peach and complain because i don't have that stuff? Hell no, i worry about myself and play the game. These rings and further stat rings, if any, should not be of concern to you if someone else gets it.

Scrolling pet equips affected your character.

As I said, you character could be affected in other ways from the CS, but your items/damage were never directly affected (unless it was by fault of your own [ie: SP/AP resets]) directly buying additional stats was never available through Nexon's own intentions (HP washing being an exploitation of the system being used differently than originally intended, but it had a postivie outcome for Nexon thusly they chose not to "fix" it).


tldr; You couldnt really buy stats directly from Nexon, and even though this is just a small amount right now, no doubt this opens the doors to bigger Cash stat boosts.

it's only 1 stat to everything. is it really that big of a deal?

Not a big deal but everything has to start somewhere. A crackhead has to smoke that first joint to find themself in prison later on.

Oh, it's no big deal, it's just one joint.
It's just +1 all stat. You won't even notice a difference in damage. No big deal.

Um don't you have multiple slots for rings? So can't you wear 4 of these fucking things?

Above statement is hopefully wrong.

If i was playing when avatar smegas were released, I would have quit then. Instead, I think I might quit because of this stupid ring. 1+ to all stats matters, whether you like it or not. Although I don't mind its a slight shadower buff (Shadowers can use 3 of the main stats, no one else can.), I do mind that its starting a bad trend. I thought Gach was going to be bad, but it really wasn't what I expected(it brought us a lot of equips that we never would have normally, imo.). Hell even MTS actually helps people who can't buy NX get married/reset stats/etc. Meso bags are so pointless I also didn't care. But I HATE this fucking ring. What next? nx100+ to all stats? nxGodmode? nxLevel200?

Wow. Goodness.

Yes, I understand the point several of you are intent on making. Everything has to start somewhere, and this pathetic little ring surely could signal in even higher +stat bonus rings in the future. Okay, that's been established, and I'm sure everyone can agree.

But COME ON people. Nexon's never going to make +47593485 stats rings, instant level-up's or CS hacks. Get off it. What's with everyone freaking the heck out? Is it just that time of the year that everyone has to act all DOOMSDAY? Look at the versions of MS that have the wedding rings with +stats and +HP. IIRC, everyone was quite jealous and wished our rings were like that. No one was like, "THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END. SWEET JESUS RUN FOR THE HILLS!" Those were the first +stat CS rings, not this pathetic Aura Ring...and yet, this level of idiocy didn't occur then.

You guys need to chill and look at how crazy you're acting. There's benefits to people who use NX in this game. It's just that simple. If it really bothers you that much, and you can't enjoy the game anymore, why are you still playing? Please ask yourself that.

*applauds*

Money just makes the game easier. I never buy NX with money anymore unless i really need to. Instead I get NX through MTS. It takes a lot more work, but i'm not wasting my own real life money and that's the trade-off. So if people really wanted these rings, they can MTS for them.

And like someone said, that ring costs 12~15m mesos from MTS. You want it, go for it. It's just for stat whores.

But COME ON people. Nexon's never going to make +47593485 stats rings, instant level-up's or CS hacks.

I do concede that "CS hacks" is inflated (we're not counting safety charms or loots, of course), but...

Stat rings will come. They don't have to be "+47593485", even a +20 boost to each stat would be godly, or even 10.

Instant level-up: EXP gach.

It isnt wrong. You can wear 4 of these.

I'm optimistic, so I'll ask for a picture before I believe it. D:

You gotta keep in mind this is Nexon we're talking about. I'm predicting that we'll go to...5 attack, max?

And if the talk about the 4 rings is true, then yeah, that does kind of suck...and it's highly probable that Nexon will have 1 attack rings. Multiply that by 4, and boom, you have an extra 4 attack.

I'm just kind of upset that to max all your stats now, you need to spend money on CS rings that expire every 90 days. Not that I have max stats, the idea is just a little annoying.

Gachapon, 2x EXP/Drop cards, and iTCG..... and you make a thread to complain that this item is giving 1 stat for $3? LOL. You could pay $1 for a gach ticket and get a 5 attack cape or an item worth over a billion mesos.
