NA/EU/AUS monetary model is a bunch of hocus pocus thrown together with no consideration for reality. That was a great short story composed above, but it too has no basis in reality. If Nexon's people have taken real Demand Management/Marketing, their actions don't reveal it. We got changes like the Scroll Shop and Seal Shop because of GMs like Saygo and company lobbying on our behalf. Now, had Nexon's higher-ups had real lessons in strategy they would have gotten what the current team does: that preferences are regional, that western audiences want return for their money, and that most players here in NA/EU/AUS don't like being treated like they're organic ATMs, especially not the kind who like to pay more for less. We don't even get the level of events that KR/CN do, and we pay more to get treated like cast-offs.

The GMs have been working to make changes, but Nexon's execs and strategists aren't worth the paper their degrees are printed on if they think this is how you maximize value for your shareholders and ensure the longevity of your products. Their strategy isn't even good for massive short-term returns. The problems here are the same ones that plague BDO, BnS, and every other eastern grinder that comes here: failure to take the added audiences into consideration. There's no reason for our prices to be as high as they are, and there's no reason that Nexon should continue policies that have turned it into a company that many gamers want zero to do with anymore.
