Nexxon is Greedy

Nexxon.... is not well liked for their customer support, it's really quite lacking most of the time.
Nad they're greedy, the cash shop proves that if nothing else. The problem lies in DFO being free to play but with a cash shop, some features that feel like they should be free cost you money, and that's a bummer.

The most egregious offender is the the Item Sale Stall. It costs equivalent to $4 in Nx and is practically required in order to afford good weapons and armor. It works like this, you set up shop in town and set prices for up to 14 items in your shop, people passing buy can click your shop and buy things for the marked prices. The problem is that a lot of people have shops, and good weapons and armor can cost a LOT of gold, so you need a Sale Stall to buy things from other Sale Stalls and it all puts cash into nexxons pocket, really. The only way to sell things without a cash shop is to manually hawk your wares in town and open up trade screens with people and haggle over prices, it's really hassle if you have a lot to sell.

Other MMOs have auction houses or free trade stalls, maybe paid for with in game money, but for the sole purpose of making a buck there is no auction house and you must purchase the ability to set up a stall. All of this wouldn't even be so bad, but the stalls expire every 30 days, so you have to spend another $4 to keep the cycle going.
