The EXP Curve

That's what I'm trying to say. The achievement hasn't diminished, you're correct in that. However, if someone asks you what level you were at MapleStory or something like that, and you say 192 one year ago, people would go "Wow man, that's really amazing! Holyyyy crap". Nowadays, they'll not say that. They'll be like "oh, okay. That's pretty decent, isn't it?". That's what I meant. The value of being 192 has gone from high to zero, null, nada, nix.

Nevertheless, people above 190 do care about their ranks and the admiration they get from noobies. Why would the else go through leveling?

But that's going to happen no matter what as the game gets older. If Maplestory is out for 10 years it wouldn't be anything to have 2 or 3 level 200's, where right now that would be a really big deal. As time goes on more people have the opportunity to do what you did, and they'll have learned from your mistakes and those of others so they'll naturally have an easier time. As far as I'm concerned this is like the old coot up the street crying how he's been living here for 50 years and people should respect him for it. We all live here now, it's a town and granted when he moved here it was out in the middle of the woods, but you know it's never gonna be woods again so he needs to shut up and deal with it.
