On the Issue of Power Creep and How It Relates to Nexon

And lets address the elephant in the room, Potential and new op things you can buy in the cash shop. Nexon does an AMAZING job of balancing events and everything ingame, but when it comes to anything cash related they are horrible. Name one thing ingame that is horribly inbalanced that doesn't revolve around the CS

Of course they do a good job of balancing events; you'd have to be all kinds of stupid to mess up "Get X Character to Level Y to get the Z Ring!". But, I digress.

Power creep is releasing content that quickly renders other content obsolete, and content can mean classes, areas, bosses and equipment.

Why should anyone bother investing any significant time or money into buying a PvP Armor when the Cygnus Armor is infinitely better?Why should people bother killing Zakum when no one is going to bother using its drops?

The root of this problem is that MapleStory revolves around the PvE. There is no strategic balance to it; it revolves around doing more damage to monsters to move onto the next monsters more quickly. Items and bosses have to keep up with this mentality or players won't care.
