Is Maplestory "Cheaper" then before?

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.

So sad yet true. It's a seller's market thanks to how ludicrous the meso:NX rate has gotten. 3-4 hours of work for a $25 card can net me half a billion in Maple? Wow, might as well sell for in-game mesos!
