    So we can all agree that our market, from room 1 to room 9 (on average) is primarily full with Gachapon items. This is because of two things (in my opinion):

    (1) Obvious abuse of the Vote system. This has already been addressed by Kim, which is great, and hopefully the level increase will deter some people from abusing it. Of course though, as we all know, it will always be abused by someone, somehow. The abusers aren't buying themselves the freshest threads, or the newest hairstyle. They are doing it to gain mesos or better equips, obviously by Gachapon.

    and (2) There is nothing beneficial to spend NX cash other than Gachapon. I'll admit I spend all my NX on Gach, because there is nothing else I need. I have my outfit, my pet, and my shop.

    This is where 2X EXP cards come in. I'm not talking about having 2X EXP cards be cheap either. I'm talking about atleast 20k NX, maybe even 30k (a weeks worth of voting) to obtain a 12 or 24hr 2X EXP.

    People will need to save a weeks worth of NX, that they would have gotten 35 Gachapon items for, to be able to purchase one. Sure, this could possibly make people want to have NX Mules since they need to spend their main account's NX on EXP, but with the new lvl 45 requirement, plus the GMs cracking down harder on abusers, everything should fall into place.

    interesting idea, but don't think they should be 24 hour coupons. 4 or 6 sound like better numbers imo.
    You can get a lot done in 24 hours.

    10k for 4hours sounds decent, I like this idea.
    The problem that this would face is that I NEED to spend basically all my nx on ap resets for hpwashing which already means I have to spend hours farming to make meso, and now I would also have to choose between fast grinding and hp washing.

    Problem with 2x cards is that they demotivate people, nor do I want this server to be MapleRoyals #2 (x4 rates).

    2x cards make people only train during 2x and if they are extremely expensive, expect everyone to sit in FM forever.

    2x drop would be decent idea, but not exp. OP only mentions 2x EXP.

    Having another item implemented into the cash shop to act as another Nx sink is a good idea, but i don't necessarily agree with adding 2x exp cards.

    Yeah, I didn't know what hour amount would be reasonable, but anything that takes a lot of NX would be great.

    2X drop is worthless since no one would do anything except go for GFA 60%. No one buys regular stuff in FM, only Gach.

    Agree 100%. 2x EXP cards don't sound good, but 2x drop could be an idea.

    2x drop wouldn't be worthless, using it only to hunt for gfa 60%s sounds pointless. Using it on bosses like Zakum, Pap and Pianus would be good to bring in more zhelms, equipment and skill books.

    I'm talking to benefit the regular users, not the top 3% who can actually boss right now.

    2x drop would be an ok addition, but that's also simply adding another incentive to vote on more than one account within 24 hours with the aid of proxies or making up a 'brother'

    I mean.. or we could incentivize active training/pqing by ridding ourselves of the slot machine and instead adding gacha drops to strategic, non capitalizable by exploitative high level skill (low volume maps), mobs.

    As long as there exists a way to turn votes into in-game value, there will be vote abuse. We're currently solidly ahead of fifth place in the vote rankings and solidly behind the third. People will still vote for the cosmetic frillies more than enough to keep our spot. There are so many 'votebots' voting for the first three servers (because of vote abuse!!!) that we will never pass them. It's time to completely remove the Cheat2Win aspect. Infact, I think it would be instrumental in helping the server grow. (I.E. stealing frustrated LEGIT players from royals, extalia, and ellinia)

    Besides, in GMS, did you have more fun spending your NX on cosmetics/stores/weddings/hair, or did you have more fun draining it into gachapon?

    2x drop increases drop chance, doesn't make everything double, so the LMPQ statement is invalid because tix already drop 100% of time.

    They don't? Ha, shows how I never PQ. In that case, the LMPQ statement is valid.

    I don't really like Gach but I think it would be a bad call to remove it at this point.
    Double drop coupons are relatively meh, and there's nothing else you can spend NX on.
    You are kind of *forced to buy Gach for your nx unless you want to struggle with money and get very far behind other players.

    *forced is a dumb word, but it's true. This word was thrown about in WoW a lot regarding things, and while you're not FORCED to pick X instead of Y, X is better and you will fall behind if you don't pick it.
