The reason why this was for NX is because of the plain XM8, which was also sold for NX. Also, it was sold at the same price as the XM8, making the XM8 Spiders/Scorpions much better.

The XM8 Spider/Scorpion is an upgrade from the XM8, which makes sense why they would sell it for NX. For example, you don't see NX Standard AR's with 35 round mags often, being most of them NX Rare or being one of the Epic weapons.

If they would sell it for GP, then chances are the stats would be greatly nerfed, otherwise there would probably be an outrage from people who has bought the plain XM8.
