Is Maplestory "Cheaper" then before?

I never said anything that meant that what you said wasn't true. I also understand what you're saying about this group of people being very small, but I was merely looking at the bottom line, which is you don't have to spend a single penny on this game to be good as the next person.

Time is money. If you have to spend 40 hours a week farming to equal what someone else is willing to drop 20$ to get in 5 minutes you've justed the equivalent of $290 you could've been earning doing a minimum wage job to earn and spend $20 instead. That's absurd.
