[Rant] This game's practically dead in terms of actual content.

Y'all are some crusty, salty ex-maplers that's all I have to say. It's no wonder SP isn't recognized as a fansite anymore, who wants to listen to old cronies like you guys.

TBH before I clicked on this thread I was expecting OP to be pikmennamom or however you spell his name.

There is a clear distinction between someone who is just salty and angry from this game, and someone who genuinely would like to play this game again, but nexon's incompetence has been clearly shown over and over again.

Yes they are improving. No one is denying this. No one is stating that the game has only been going down hill, maple history isn't so simple as to say this specific era of maplestory was the best ranging from pre big bang, post big bang or other big patches that people like to reference.. They all had their problems. But the issue that a lot of people have, is that even though nexon is improving on trying to lessen the pay to win gap, they aren't doing enough for it in GMS. While the disparity was smaller in KMS, that the fixes they implemented worked for their community, The power difference between players in GMS is so big, that the tiny bandages that they are putting on a missing limb is clearly not enough. And its this that is turning players off.

I Genuinely Love Maplestory as a game, and for the most part it was the game i played almost inclusively for the last 10 years, as in NO other MMO or online game, but i haven't played it in a few months now, because i have more important issues in my life to deal with, and the fact that to maintain the amount of damage i have and try to keep improving is equivalent to working a full time job. And before i get dismissed as the reason being because i have such low damage

 Spoiler

This was a good time before i quit. I got even stronger before this. This game without spending money, requires such a dedication and commitment that it is absolutely ridiculous, and when you reach the awkward phase where you're in between being able to solo end game bosses and not, you get some insight on how much EFFORT it takes without being given handouts by illegitimate players, who milk the system with bad activities that harm and make it more difficult for others to get to the position they are of being able to solo almost all end game bosses, or partaking in their bad behavior, or having to stoop to technical* ethical behavior in regards to the game, which most people just do to bridge the gap and get up there with the boss soloers. *Technical in regards to that because nexon didn't openly state it to be bad, that abusing certain things is okay*


I'm not sure what SP being a fansite even means in the context of this thread or to your argument, but i'm just going to mention the fact that SPers can announce their disapproval of the game and actually state why they dislike the game and stay on the forums or not have their topic locked up or deleted, speaks for a lot more than some forums out there, some of which you are a member of. I would rather take a dictatorship that allows me to comment on the system in place, than one where any form of disagreement is par for being expelled.


I would also like to point out to the people that are saying well, KMS is doing GOOD so you guys are just being whiners, GMS will never be and isn't KMS. Any arguement that begins that since kms is GOOD, you guys are just complaining is doomed to fail, because you're essentially comparing Apples and Lemons. Sure they are both 'sweet' but you would never say that a lemon taste like an apple or vice versa. Each Version of their game have distinctions and differences and its in the differences that GMS players have been finding that they are basically being shoved to the side in favor of whales.


TLDR: Rant on why i think the quoted opinion is biased and not based on the reality on what maple players have to put up with. And how people comparing KMS to GMS have a skewed perception on what gms players have to deal with.

Also yes i know, im vastly unpopular with you guys, but honestly i couldn't help myself from commenting on this because it is something i actually find important to me. So Pom away.
