The Visitor Event Guide/Discussion.

I know. I wish local versions would give a bit more thought to how overpowered the items they're making are compared to original KMS content. Everything local versions do tends to draw people away from MapleStory itself.

Attack buffs? pineapple THAT I HAVE APPLES
PQ Mania medal? pineapple THAT I HAVE TIME TRAVELER
2nd job training spots? WINDRAIDERS PLEASE

And thus a mountain of content is thrown into the trash heap by one poorly designed item or map.

That PQ Mania medal is incredibly hard to get anyway, you could have just settled with Mushroom Kingdom one. 2nd job training pre-BB in kMS was as dull as the grim/goby days of gMS.
But yeah, I see where you're getting at. Local content totally breaks the original content out of the water and thus the game itself is way easier than it's supposed to be.
