No 8th slot rewards for signing up anymore?

Signing up doesn't give you 8th slot rewards anymore. Why? Is this some kind of a bug or is this intentional? 8th slot rewards are the best thing that you can give new players, I don't understand why you won't anymore.

I have 2 Nexon accounts. These are the rewards that I got upon signing up  -

This account was created a few years ago:

8th P90 for the Engineer,
8th Medic kit 2 for the Medic
8th MP5K for the Sniper
8th Flash Bang for the Assault
8th MP5K for the Heavy Trooper

And this account was created just a day before the transition (I think July 12th?) -

8th Smoke grenade for the Engineer
8th Medic Kit 2 for the Medic
8th Smoke grenade for the Sniper
8th M60 for the Assault
8th Smoke grenade for the Heavy Trooper

I don't mind this change because it doesn't affect me, I already have accounts with it. However I do think new accounts should have these retails injected to their inventory if they already created it or be rewarded for signing up.

    You could send a ticket or post your thread to technical support category. But you decided to post on English community category.

    Did you even read the thread? THIS IS NOT ABOUT ME. This is a suggestion. I don't have any technical problem. Why the hell should I submit a ticket?

    For some reason I messed by reading 2 threads at once.

    Gotta rework the weapons and the whole system anyway, so that even f2p players could just buy 8th slot weps with dinar. etc. so that the classes are balanced.

    Also I have never been a fan of the 8th slot med kit, it basically is supposed to be an upgradeable kit for the 4th slot, would prefer it much more that way.

    I just generally think it's unfair that some players have it and some not when it's completely free. And yes, I played other versions of the game and I noticed the same thing. I have no idea why they put it in 8th slot to start with

    So here's how it goes down.

    Free 8th slot was a Nexon thing to encourage players to join the game, or something. Or their attempt at balancing it with how many people had 8th slot through G1. IDK. Maybe even G1 actually implemented it so that new accounts get 8th slot weapons for free, but I don't remember that.

    Anyway, it's up to the publisher if they'd like to give new accounts more than the starting 4 weapons per class. Do I think that giving out 8th slot to new players is a good idea? Absolutely, and I think it should be more than just one class getting weapons (not just smoke grenades to all) so that they can attempt to fight the experienced players who run a 2nd/3rd/5th/8th slot set up. It is tough to fight only 2nd/3rd slot, but add in the 8th and it does balance out some.

    I like the first layout you described in the OP where MP5K was put in some 8th slots. That kind of thing should happen where 2nd-slot weapons are given in 8th-slot editions to the new players. Or even weaker guns like a P90 for Engineer, a Bizon for Medic, a MP5K for Sniper (prioritizing defending themselves in close combat), G36C for Assault, and MG3 (I think it's that one - 50 bullet machine gun?) for heavies.
    Much needed features on a forum
    1. A spoiler tag or otherwise collapsible element.
    2. More flexible tabling.
    3. Not being forced to sign out.
    4. Quoting buttons.
