I think a good way for Nexon to continue to make money off avatar that are not in the gachapon system anymore would be to start selling them in a straight forward cash shop. From a money making stand point it would make sense because they could:
A) Sell them for way more NX than a normal token. (maple story items can cost about 8 dollars each)
B) Not let them be tradeable (the same as an item that "Cannot be traded")
C) Not have any stat boosts other than the dungeon exp bonus
D) Have a good 2 months or so pass from the point of being "sold out" before items are sold in the cash shop.
There! I think if executed in this manner Nexon could probably make more money than if they just stuck with the gachapon system.
And before you ALL start ranting and raving about how unfair that is and how much better the Korean version is just STOP! My idea is designed to make the company money, something they surly are more likely to understand than complaining and bashing the game. The makers are more than enough aware that you have problems with the games. So please for my sake if you have a comment please let it be in response to this topic and not some wild rant about how unfair the FREE game is.
