Is Maplestory "Cheaper" then before?

I feel the same way basically since I've gone from 110 to 150 without any problems at all with below-decent gear on one character. But, I do accept the fact that if you have a high amount of % gear you're going to do much better in LKC if you by yourself can 5-hit the monsters there.



I think it feels better to be able to drop however much money you want at anytime you want in the game.



Average should be defined by the ability to kill monsters and train which anyone can do even with horrible gear. Therefore above average would be anything above that, so that means putting any amount of money from 10 dollars to 1000 dollars would put you above average.

You can come up to excuses' but the society has made a standard within the community. You aren't considered above avg until you hit at least 100% stats, 130% pushing the pro range, 150% pushing insanity.

I don't really care either way, but for bosses that are already soloable, no such accommodations, of "I can kill mob's" really apply anymore. This is my rule of thumb;

Excluding leons castle

1 hit your training monster, above average
2 hit your training monster, average
3 hit your training monster, get better gear.

Pro is when you measure how fast you solo bosses, it shows your efficiency. Though I don't agree with it, its what the game has become.
