This whole game needs a story. I'd make up my own, but I don't think it'd go so well.
Something like Mushroom Kingdom, that was alright.
I admit I am at fault here, and I was completely misinterpreting your argument.
Honestly, I don't know why Nexon designs the items the way they do.
However ugly they may be, I don't think they're intentionally ugly, though.
They're just following kMS.
And really, glasses are just bland. They need a story behind them. If the Stop Sign said, "Hey, I found some glasses, here you go" that'd be a bit boring.
And even though I know most people only get the glasses for the stats, I still think the broken adds a nice touch to them.
I really don't think anything in this game was made intentionally bad. That's just a little too underhanded.
I can understand how they'd make things like the demon helms cover the whole face in exchange for low level req and +12 stats; that's just a given, it's a precursor to the Zakum helm, which is better and only covers the hair.
But I don't think Nexon would release a piece of crap-looking item to make it the norm so people feel the need to cover it up.

This is how people are around here.
If you're displeased with something, and want to voice your opinion about it then you're a complainer, and "if you don't like it, stop playing" is the response.
There are no such things as intelligent discussions on Hidden-Street, because the intelligent people have all given up on "The Stupids of Hidden-Street" AKA the ones who spend more time on the forum than playing the game.
OT:
I side with the OP, and others who can see that it's an intentional way to coerce you into buying NX. I'll be wearing mine until I get a Z.Helm, then I'll wear a Z.Helm until a Scarlion Helm. All three of them are the best hats in the game, and to use something else in a DAMAGE DRIVEN game would make the experience less enjoyable. I don't mind looking at my Owl head constantly, but at the same time, it does clash with everything and does look stupid over-all.
It's a valid theory, and for you, Penguin, to just attack the OP instead of contributing in a constructive manner to the topic, just makes you look bad.
If you don't like what's being posted DON'T RESPOND TO IT (c wut i did thar?) (OH SNAP, DID YOU SEE THAT ONE TOO?! Meme's all day everyday)
Hail Satan
If you look at my posts, you'll see I've made no attacks on anyone.
Maybe if I said, "Hey, you're an idiot" I would have attacked someone.
It's also not that I don't like what's being posted, I'm making discussion.
Also way to generalize the hell out of Hidden-Street.
Who's given up now?
