It is not like you have to buy into potential, you're still going to 2 - 3 hit monsters on your level apart from those in LKC.That's really easy to answer, the potential casino system killed maple beyond repair, because if you don't pay hundreds of dollars to Nexon, you're NEVER going to be competitive in a game that's -ALL- about competitiveness and killing bosses.
Noone cared if potential system items only worked on normal monsters and bosses disabled those by default 100% of the time. But after chaos, you can have 30+20+20 = 70% more damage on bosses with pure potential items.
In a game where a lvl120 Cygnus (1 week of training) can have an attack range of 60.000 (+70% at bosses = 102.000 attack range at bosses) if they payed enough real money vs a lvl200 (2 years of training) with an attack range of 20.000 if they didn't pay anything, there is something very, very, wrong.
No off course you don't have to use potential items, but it makes the game useless, boring, sucky, crappy, and most of all, a pure waste of time if you don't pay money to Nexon.
An MMORPG is supposed to be focused on character growth when you spend time playing your character, not character growth paying money to Nexon.
That's why it fails, and that's why people are complaining.
And yes, I miss maple when I was the first player in Scania, when I registered the IGN's Devil, Angel and Archmage...
