Oh and btw thats how Asian F2P Titles work, so... just get over it? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I cringe reading such comments from a few ppl here like this one.
You should remember that to discuss something is never wrong or pointless.
Only brainless ppl accept everything as it is without question themselves/the others or just accepting blindly everything they get in general.
No, it's not "how things works so just get over it".
History, if u ever studied some, teach that a lot of changes (for the better in most cases and the worse in some cases)
are 'due' to groups of ppl who didn't just "just get over it? ¯\_(ツ)_/" and managed within time to bring improvements in any aspect of the life.
So the topic is quite rightfully discussed, and interesting.
The only bad side is that most of this thread is turning into a personal debate between 2 ppl who dislike each other and nobody care.
p.s. Robert is not a Nexon employer.
Well said, I couldn't have said it better myself and I'm glad more intelligent individuals like yourself realize the importance of discussing these matters and the attention it's getting is well deserved.
But please try not to give attention to those trying to derail the entire thread and turn this into a flame war rather than an important discussion on this very serious matter, like what this "robert" character is trying to do.
And neither you nor I can say with 100% certainty that he isn't actually a Nexon employee but at the same time some have made some valid points (on top of the fact that he is THE ONLY ONE here defending Nexon's actions) as to why they think he may in fact be a Nexon employee on an alternate non-nexon employee account.
Regardless I think we can all agree that he doesn't deserve the extra attention.
Thanks for sharing that additional article DragonRider, your post and the article speaks for itself. After reading that, seeing how they have family members, the previous chairman CEO himself being charged with corruption and all these other criminal charges (and he likely still has other family members in the company still), not to mention all the other criminal activity going on within the company I'm actually disgusted with myself for having spent all the time I have playing one of their games.
That guy's just a director. The CEO of Nexon is actually an American from San Francisco. I'm not talking about the regional subsidiaries like Nexon KR and Nexon NA, I'm talking about THE Nexon that oversees all the regional subsidiaries. It doesn't say so in this article, but if you google him, you'll find he's American and grew up in San Francisco.

Whether he's CEO or 'director' it makes no difference because the point still remains - there is a lot of corruption and criminal activity going on at Nexon like what DragonRider has mentioned on page 5 of this thread and that's unacceptable, no company like that should be supported in any shape or form.
Just like them having been discovered of LOWERING gacha rates (to as low as 0.5%) on people spending their money on gacha boxes after the sale has begun is also extremely unacceptable as stated in the first article of the thread.
I can't even look at Nexon as a game company anymore, more like a criminal organization.
I wasn't trying to defend Nexon. I was just correcting some wrong info.
It isn't "wrong info" that this 'Robert' person MAY be a Nexon employee because you can't prove that he isn't a Nexon employee either.
Just because you THINK he isn't a Nexon employee doesn't just automatically make that a fact and make everyone else "wrong" for thinking otherwise. Because you really don't know if he is or isn't anyway so how can you tell everyone else they're wrong about something that you aren't even 100% sure of yourself?
I could be a Nexon employee myself (but I'm not) and you wouldn't know, you could have friends that are actually Nexon employees on regular accounts and you wouldn't know. Just because you don't THINK that's possible doesn't mean everyone else is wrong. Some of us actually do know that game company employees actually do have regular game and forum accounts. That's right, Nexon employees do play the game too and they don't have to use a Nexon employee account to post on forums, there is no rule that says they have to do that and there would be no reliable way of enforcing something like that either, to try and make sure that Nexon employees always use the forums with their employee account. There was actually a scandal about that I think with EA games where they were found to be posting on their forums with regular forum accounts to try and make players feel a certain way about their games, maybe boost ratings or something like that so yeah, it does happen. And with a company like Nexon with so much corruption and other criminal activity that is going on I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest.
Try to respect other's opinions, don't try and force your own opinion upon everyone else and say everyone is wrong and that it's "wrong info" when that's just your opinion that 'Robert' isn't a Nexon employee, others here obviously think he is which is their opinion as well but don't try and say your opinion is fact and theirs isn't and is "wrong info" as you claim because he very well could be a Nexon employee.
And he's the one (and the only one) here that's trying to defend Nexon and all of these things they've done, I wasn't saying you were defending Nexon but that alone is a reason some are suspicious and think he may be a Nexon employee.
But that's all beside the point of the thread, please don't give those trying to start flame wars any more attention.

Yeah I've been thinking the same, I'm wondering if this "RobertLiva" guy is a Nexon employee on an alt account and that's why he's trying so hard to defend this and say all of us are wrong. He even says the dictionary is wrong, that the definition of the word "random" is wrong in the dictionary lol
It's pretty simple to see why Nexon is being sued and fined, they were discovered to be deceiving players about gacha rates.
Or maybe he's just a Nexon fanboy and is that stupid and delusional, that he will say Nexon is right when everyone else is telling him they're wrong for what they did.
Maybe he's doing all of this in hopes Nexon will fly him to their offices and meet them or become a GM and his dreams will come true. Then he'll be the ultimate Nexon fanboy and his life will be complete.
