I played this game for an entire week, just to get something. I gave it a chance because my girlfriend missed the aesthetic nature of the game. It's horrible, I've never in my 6 years of playing seen the game so destroyed. I may play in khaini, but I remember when it thrived, it was the perfect population. With people like carlos, who I'll deal with in a moment, who decided to take the quick buck route, who killed the game. I'm level 30 walking around the fm and can't find any cheap potential. I can't even find a f`ucking zakum helmet, they don't provide any profit, the very item that makes them tradeable is twice as expensive as the item.
See here's your problem. You have a game that is so hellbent on the NX currency, even going as far as removing any method besides purchasing it, oh and doing surveys that has a sweatshop income, that it is frankly impossible to do anything in the game. You can't make money in the game anymore, there's litterally 9 FM's available, 6 of them have nothing but empress, duped scrolls or weapons that are being advertised to be sold via Moneypak for $400+. In a game where nothing you do within it can even shed a tear at the equipment created by hacked or ridiculous overpriced method's is a broken end game.
You want to fix maplestory, here's a few things;
-Remove or change cube rates. One cube should at least give you one line of useful potential. That's a dollar and 20 cents out of your pocket, it shouldn't take $15-30 to get one line of usable potential.
-Do the research to find out what equips were duplicated, or clearly impossible to make without dupe methods. IE 27 attack shoes. Make them all untradeable, all this can be done by browing the site that can't be named for 10 minutes. Removing them risks a riot of the small player base they already have.
-Remove karma of scissors and all varients. It's stupid. Why should I pay 3 dollars to move something to my account that I earned. The whole system is as dumb as mastery books.
-Remove mastery books. I shouldn't have to kill horntail with level 20 berzerk to have a 50% to work. Frankly there should be quests with reasonable collecting to obtain them, rather than killing bosses that leave you with poor SP spread to compensate the fact you can't f`ucking afford it.
-Remove expirable bull sh`it. Seriously getting a chair that expires in a week doesn't bother me as much as doing an event quest that gives me potions that are untradeable or don't last more than a day. This envelope thing was quirky and fun and I have enjoyed it.
Nexon can still make a killing off CS boxes, gachapon, pets, SP/AP resets, shielding wards, golden temple coupons, and f`ucking CS clothes that can't be transfered to between every new class that comes out every goddamn week. So personally, I can't see a goddamn reason why I should feed them money making idea's, nor why we should return to prebb because none of these problems would change.
You do realize that aggression is just satirical right? It's just a sad dodge to disregard everything he says because you assume it's anger. You aren't saving face, unfortunately.
How retro are you talking? The game has been giving NX advantages ever since pet loot, or gachapon. You think removing cubes will solve the game? Please. I don't think you understand why maplestory fell apart, but here, let me give you a pretty good synopsis.
There's your problem. It's not a business, it's a game. You killed it by participating with these black markets, in fact encouraging it by your very post. So frankly, any opinion you have on the matter is pretty much null. And look, you got to the top, you did it by any means possible because you needed to keep that e-peen ultra shiny.
But it's players like you that I crushed in 2010. It was people like you, that made me waste my time and money to prove you can be the best without resorting to cheap tactics. I did it, and I got attacked for it. I come back now, and it's impossible. Physically impossible to do what I did. Because people, like you, won. You made it that this ridiculous gear, this ridiculous standard, is now average. Now you're complaining because you feel like you accomplished nothing and you wish we could go back? Get the f`uck out. You didn't accomplish anything, your so called "top" is a fallacy, and can be claimed by anyone. You're a sell out and anyone can buy your position, people are just smart enough not too.
I'm not denying that I did eventually enter the black market because I realized I couldn't compete anymore and scrolling faltizans with 60% scrolls was a laugh. Retro would be before pet equips even came out. Also, I don't know takebacker well enough to know when he's trying to be funny or not so forgive me for not stalking him beforehand. Regardless, I gave up on trying to make anymore noteworthy accomplishments after my NL hit 200 and started taking advantage of people willing to dump hundreds for a single peice of gear. That's pretty much when I stopped enjoying the game and only played for profit.
