"Black Friday Big Spender Event"

For pineapple's sake, no one is forcing you to buy these items at these "heightened prices".

The point is that they're trying. Sure, they can't actually physically force you to spend your money on their pomegranate but they can try.

They are a BONUS for spending NX. Nothing pineappleing more. You can try to argue that they are extorting money, but you are wrong because
1. Again, Nexon cannot force you to buy into this
2. ALL of these items in the shop eventually come back at the regular prices
3. NEXON ISN'T FORCING YOU TO BUY INTO THIS

Repeat yourself as much as you want, that won't make it right.
#2 seems to work either way as an argument. To me that just makes the event that much more pointless and that much more of a bait.

Jesus christ, can you guys knock this stupid crap off about "baiting" players or them being scumbags? Yeah, the guardians and shields specifically are only available through this method AT THE MOMENT, but you are ALL completely and perfectly aware of the black friday coin shop that supplies the shields coming on the 13th. You are all aware that the guardians MUST eventually be re-released in the CS at their normal price. What's the damn rush? We've all been begging and pleading for the scrolls, but when it boils down to it, you are not going to die without these scrolls and/or items. God forbid a company try to give its customers extra incentive to buy their products.

Why would you care anyway?
Sure, big spenders can get these right away while the rest of the world must wait or become one big spender themselves.
Either way, p2w or a bait.

If you don't like it, don't buy it. That simple.

Also, irrelevant.
I don't like it, I don't buy, I don't even play the game anymore.
How about, if you don't like, you don't read it? That simple.
