You forgot to mention an important thing: The new gob that cost 400 seals is not the normal gob stone, but it has a flat 3% success increase instead of the old 10% on the total. Which mean is slightly more useful on high enhances and way worse on low enhances.

That said the cost in guild seals is still a bit too much high.

I don't complain much about the gifts cause it is always free stuff but
for God sake PLEASE STOP WITH THIS EXPIRING S...T!!!!!!! You are using it everywhere!!

You must understand that each player have their own different times and economies.
If you are not a wealthy player most of that stuff will be just wasted cause you can't afford a scroll, or use a shard , or get enough mats for reforge etc etc... within the expiration time. This crap is happening since a while and myself i lost several runes and other important items due to expiration.
A gift is a gift. It shouldn't just expire..

Also megaphones that expire.. really??
And the cherry on top was the expiring xmas outfit.... you gifted that (crappy) set a few times in these years for free during xmas events and honestly such set can only be gifted cause there is close to 0 interest about it and this year you make it 30 days and not even easy to obtain due to the high cost of the xmas tickets.
By the time a normal/casual player get enough tickets to purchase it, we will be already in january... and for what? For another expiring crap.

What's next, expiring chars/account???
Who decide/select such events??

You know they say at xmas ppl should be nicer but i can see this is not the case..
I really don't understand it, because sometime you come up with very nice and motivating events just to make such huge flops soon after.

NX selling isnt smt legal from the beginning... When EU merged with NA everyone was scared that it will be bannable (because in NA wasnt legal) but they seem to "close an eye" on this because everyone on EU was used with this trade and it coulda be a mess to ban all the ppl involved into this trade system (including veteran whales) and also it gives them profit.

Therefore this whole nx trading for in game gold between players isnt very legal so both sides that are involved in this trade have to accept the consequences and risk on their own. Nothing nexon should do about it aside to ban the seller because is not legal lol.

Totally wrong.

The misunderstanding that there was back when we joined NA was the word "NX SELLING" which alwasy been illegal. But it has been explained "a tons of time" the difference between Nx selling (which usually come from outside sites or any other transaction which doesn't pass THROUGHT the game and where u sell the PURE NX credit not the items) and the word NX GIFT/TRADE which is TOTALLY diifferent and alwasy been allowed.

NX GIFT/TRADE is what exactly ppl here are talking about. Gifting a depot item to another player in exchange of a payment (not mandatory). This feature exist since AGES and IS totally legal. It was also explained quite clear by both saygo and eghess. So pls stop with the misinformation.

The only Issue (quite big one) about this is that you must rely on "faith and trust" about the seller.
And based on this thin line many scammers exploited the system many times.

I personally can't say how many scammers got banned even after report, not to mention the anger and the frustration of who get scammed.
And these are one of the many demotivational stuff that ruin the player experience, and if u consider also we don't have a huge population atm I think is fair to preserve those ppl who still play and those who might join later on.
The op is correct when he say that this way of trading should be improved either with tirs return or with a new way of regulate such system (like allowing depots items to be sold on mp etc etc..).

The tickets sent to the customer services about ppl getting scammed are a lot.
And this usually ends, if u're lucky and u have faith in them, with a GM banning the scammers after the checks. Nothing else.
Nobody get notified if a player has been banned or if for your ticket has been taken any action.
(In Bdo u get actually notified about the result of your ticket and what action has been taken, just saying.)

Resolving the issue to the root, would not only help players but also lift off nexon itself from dealing with those daily tickets
about scamming. Whoever doesn't support or go against something that BENEFITS EVERYONE probably have something shady to lose if such thing would be applied.

I join the op, please resolve this issue, whatever with the reintroduction of TIRS (which resolved 100% of the trading issues) or any other solution that lead to purchase safely said items (since you nexon seems to be stubborn about the not introducing tirs again for whatever reason).

Korea site showed more than once they don't have so many armor/inners/hair restrictions as we have.
Some time ago there was an Evie wearing a white shark mask on the main site.

The restrictions, and also the show/hide some inners/hair/avatars are all set in the database (server - client side).
If they wanted they could change them it in a blink. It works like a switch on/off.

And is not even to keep the character unique stuff, since in TW, for example, Delia can wear lynn inners and hair.
Imo at this point there's no need to keep them separate anymore.
All inners/hair should be shared/available in the shop among all females chars also because they use the same body/head proportions model.
Different matters for male chars inners since they use different models, but still hair could be shared among all of them.

If that would happen at some point, it would be surely pleasant.

Lol anyone who think we have any power of keeping the game ongoing is crazy....
The only thing that can keep the game alive is money profit ..if you think that with these posts or telling your friends to try the game will achieve anything you are crazy again.

Money keep the game alive and to make money you need a game with a better design that vindi has now. The game is far fron what is used to be and if the veterans who love the game so much dont play it anymore you can be sure new player wont do it also simply because the game kinda suks since a "while" and even that impecable combat syatem is turnig slowly into a gear facetank mobs.
The company killed the game by itself and the choices they made and the fact they refuse to admit and revert the rise uptade changes which were bad from the beginig.

Dont get me wrong i like the game and i would love to see it as it was in the past alive...but i doubt will happen. As i said money keep the games alive and with a bad designed game as vindi is now it wont attract new players. Im sorry but if you think you have any power you are wrong and you basically cant change anything simple as that.

I don't know if you realize u contradicted yourself more times.

You said the community have 0 power on the game and at the same time that only money is what run games...
Do you think money drop randomly from the sky?

It's the COMMUNITY who charge nx and spend them. By this freaking simple logic (even if i'm not encouraging anyone to spend more) it's quite OBVIOUS that if ppl spend in game, automatically the revenues are bigger enough to make the big heads over there to consider keeping the game up.
How can ppl not understand such simple point...??

If a game/platform or whatever perform well, money wise, why the heck should be closed anyway no matter what as someone said?
People who say such thing are the 'crazy ones'. It has literally 0 logic.
This simple/stupid/so elementar point (it makes me cry and smile thinking some ppl can't get it yet)
has been recently repeated by a GM in a live support chat.
He stated that the future of the game DEPEND on how well perform in the next monhts.
And of course that is related to earnings, and guess who decide how much this game earns?
Nexon sell the products with their prices and stuff but who actually CASH IN is the COMMUNITY.

- The fact the game is not appealing like once, cause a series of huge bad choices which nx isn't willing to roll back on none of them or plan new intelligent strategies is ANOTHER matter which has NOTHING to do with the fact that the community have power on it or not.

- Whatever game could be even flawless and still if the doesnt' have a "supporting community" could shut down as well.

- The fact the game is old mean nothing as well, just to mention an example maplestory perform quite well for being a crappy platform game for kids(imo) ot because the game itself is better than vindi but because whatever the game looks old or new it's the gameplay which catch most the interest of the players.

So yes the community has an important ROLE in keeping a game alive.

If you don't want to support a game that isn't fun anymore, or for whatever other reason you hope to die fast is just your wish/opinion, but that doesn't change the fact as the OP,me and other ppl here stated, the community CAN strongly influence the life or death of a game.

The fact NX isn't able (with vindi) to spark the interest of their players or ruin the game or have weird selling strategies which repel a lot of potential customers who get scared when they see some high prices or being RNG scams, is ''another matter''.
