An open letter to Nexon and MapleStory players

I seriously do not have time to go into all this. However...
1. English is not your first language. Please tell me that. Your ability to decipher my posts is terrible, at best, and you seem to constantly be looking for literals. If it is, then I highly suggest you educate yourself on the concept of a metaphor. My example of IPv6 was to try to get you to realize that you cannot fault the lie detector system, as we never had it. It may appear faulty to you. Whether or not it would have succeeded in its task or not is up to only all-knowing, all-seeing beings. You don't fall into this category.

English is my third language. It's not my final language either. I can speak Taishanese, Mandarin, English, Cantonese, Spanish, and Japanese. Your example of IPv6 is not a metaphor, a figure of speech. Your whole setup from what I can perceive is to say either IPv6 is faulty or not, set the argument elsewhere, and then somehow relay that because you're right for X reason, then lie detector argument you presented is right for X reason. That is called a straw man. Also, we had the lie detector system in the past. A bit of research goes a long way.

And for the sake of your capability to argue, do not throw around "English is not your first language" to other people. It's offensive and had it been anyone else, they'd taken offense to it. And even if it isn't their first language, it does not necessarily detract from their intellect for their ability to comprehend English in a contextual way.

2. If I were to say "ShanghaiDizzy doesn't read very well", is it the same as saying "ShanghaiDizzy doesn't read my posts very well because he walks in assuming that I have the IQ of a doorknob"? No. It is not. English is all about context. I said that Nexon could not be blamed just because their software, like all others, is subject to reverse engineering.

3. I've said this before. Learn to read between the lines. Must I spell out everything to get a point across? pineapple I hope not, I type with 3-4 fingers at most good sir, and can barely manage 90wpm. If I have to sit here and type all of my thoughts out in precise detail, I could be here all month.

If I were to say "Tykian doesn't argue very well at all" because now, he's setting up off-topic arguments to target, it's the same as saying "Tykian does not know how to stay on the focus of an argument because he jumps all over the place and most likely trying to set up for a straw man" as proven by your posts above. You first say Nexon is at fault, then say Nexon isn't, then say it's due to the fact their game can be reverse engineered (which while true, is not the reason there exists so many hacks in the first place).

PS. I'm a woman.

4. I will not argue with you that Maple Story is a f2p game. Lay out all the arguments you want, I don't even need to read them. In the end, you are wrong. I have made a total of 27 characters that were not mules throughout my time here. At least 20 of them never had a shred of Nexon Cash. If you "need" to spend money on this game to play/enjoy/succeed, so be it. However, not all of us are struck by such... inadequacies. Sure, you may not care whether or not I did. However, it kind of destroys your entire rant. Should you expect better service because you do? pineapple no you shouldn't.

I presented the evidence and you don't read them nor even bother to honor them. The truth is right before your eyes and the fact you completely disregard the fact that I say "not free to play" based on your own INDIVIDUAL experiences as opposed to the GENERAL experiences means you cannot perceive the structure of the game as a whole. In other words, you are a close minded individual. To bring this even further, the fact you said that Nexon and Blizzard should not be compared holds no water when the fact is Nexon makes a higher percentage revenue than Blizzard does by 30% upward. Are you to say there's nothing wrong with a F2P game company making more revenue percentage-wise than a P2P game?

For that matter, I play $0 a month on this game as well. Yet, I can grasp this concept of MapleStory not being a F2P game because I think general as opposed to individual. Why is it so difficult?

5. I hope one day you work for a gaming company such as Nexon, so that when you see huge profit margins, and are rolling in the dough, that you can look back and say: "Hot damn, I sure am glad that I took my family on vacation with my pay rise, rather than wasting valuable resources trying to manage a problem that we cannot overcome".

In the end, I'm just trying to get across that Nexon cannot shoulder the blame for what people completely out of their control do with their time, and that Nexon is doing whats best for business, as in the end, thats what this is all about. Business.

I apologize if I seem rude, but this same old whining about Nexon conducting a damn good business is getting... well... old? I'm not saying what Nexon's doing is moral, but you better believe if I ran Nexon I wouldn't be trying to make each of you happier. I would spend as little as possible to offer the game I'm offering, nothing more, nothing less.

How Nexon uses their funds has no bearing on the fact that they don't use their funds in ways to benefit the game. Once again, you're thinking individual as opposed to general. Using their funds to let them have wonderful vacations does not justify the fact they're inept at operating the company on the same scale Blizzard.
