Does anyone else find all these new rings to be kind of ridiculous?

The whole point being made wasn't for new players, it was for old players making new characters.

Exactly my point. Hence the reason I continued with, "The obvious intention is to provide older players motivation to make a new character since it is so easy now with all the equipment they have gathered on their origional character."

You know what's really ridiculous? These rings come out in two events, are easy to get, stack, but permanent Mardi Gras masks were too much.

yeah, that is really funny. lol
Nexon should have made perma masks, help convince everyone who didn't buy a perma face accessory from the cash shop already that they need one.
