The fact that GMS has started to drift away from the rigid structure of KMS patches is actually a VERY good sign.
I know most of you don't see it, but it actually means there is a significant amount of effort being put into LOCALIZATION. And by localization, I don't mean translation. Those two terms are very different, but for the vast majority of GMS' lifetime, Nexon America has treated them as one and the same. More recently, Nexon began differentiating content for the American market -- the efforts have yielded little success with the long-term players, but LOADS of success for the bottom line, mainly from the new cash-shop events, marketing, and systems like the Marvel Machine.
Any time a company pours time, money, and effort into making a differentiated product while it has the option to copy-paste should be cause for celebration. Yes, I do recognize that GMS is still largely copy-paste, but any sign of a drift from that approach should truly be embraced with open arms by the community. And it is. Because Southperry is hardly an indication of the 99%.
I'm certainly looking forward to Q2 results, where I think we're likely to see some significantly larger numbers due in part to the improved effort put forth by Nexon.
