Pink Bean is supposed to be the ultimate boss. Maybe the interviewed member of Nexon gave a dumb reason, but it's still just. Nerfing Pink Bean in any way would make him farmable, and that's not the intent for this boss. We're not supposed to go in there with a really good chance of winning. We're supposed to go in as warriors, ready to give it everything we've got and maybe, just maybe, we'll make it through. If not today, we regroup and grow stronger and challenge him again later. When the power creep is as heavy as it has been in maple recently, nerfing pink bean would turn him into another Zakum within only months, and that has never been the intent. As a matter of fact, I believe that if we ever get to the point naturally where people are farming PB, Nexon will toss something new into the mix just to raise the difficulty level again.
It's always going to be a fight to the death. Accept it.
Even if you could kill it (which we can't which is the whole point of telling them to increase the timer), the boss sucks up so much money that it's impossible for it to get to that point. If it was beatable then there would be 1 or 2 groups at max (the only server with 2 groups would be the bigger servers. Scania, windia) who would kill it, probably once a week. How is that "farming"?
Even if it got to the point where it's killed, a run is still easily f'ucked over. Just because it can be killed doesn't mean it's easy. Of course that doesn't really work the other way around.
