Here's another example of how Nexon makes the game unplayable without NX:
As I mentioned before, people without heavily cubed gear can't really pull their weight in party training situations, and either get kicked or shy away from "leeching" situations. Nexon is heavily encouraging party-play. Now even for levels below LHC, with the "sidekick" mechanism. Note that "sidekicks" need to be equally well equipped, to maintain the level difference between them. If one can kill significantly faster than the other, and therefore level faster, the relationship will break up.
But, even if the NX-less want to train alone and not have to fit in damage-wise, now they also can't train in more "traditional" areas in Leafre and elsewhere. They can't train on mobs their own level, because those take too long to kill, and hit too hard (burning potions or even killing). So they used to train on lower level mobs. But now they're heavily penalized for that: they get less exp and the mobs hardly drop meso, or anything that can be sold for meso, or equips that might be revealed or fused for better than what they're currently wearing.
"Anti-bot" is yet another way Nexon is telling us, "If you can't reach a certain level of damage - which requires either buying NX or having great merching skills - you've no business playing this game."
