Maple honestly isn't ''P2P-worthy'' and would very likely kill off much of the player-base that's left.

Pay to play is the only way I see of salvation for this game from Nexon's greediness. One of the factors that has killed the game has been the constant increasement of NX's importance for like... everything. (Heck, you can't even kill the last bosses released without paying money). You could say you can play at your own rhythm and be as strong as you wanna be without caring about other's strength, but this is in part a social game and where there's people there is competitivity, it's inherent to humans. As it is right now. this is a challenge of who is the dumbest one to spend the most money on their chars.

An idea a friend an I had was, square their current HP; remove all timers on bosses, instance it for infinite number of raids. Zakum on a full god level DPS group should take 5 hours, HT 10, PB 20, Empress 30, as a benchmark for what I am talking about..
Wait what? I hope you were being sarcastic with this because that is just ...
Even in a game with a gameplay as fluid as, lets say, Megaman, having to fight a boss for anything more than 2 hours would be unbearable. What 案山子 said is true, the only challenge from MS's bosses is staying alive while you spam your skills. I sort of feel you'd want to to bring back the feeling from early Zakum and HT doing this, but they were no different from what Pink Bean and Cygnus are right now, impossible unless you're with a lot of uber strong people (strong back then, wealthy nowadays).
