It really is just FoG with 2 platforms. That is pretty cool.

imo, this brings back the spirit of pre-bigbang era grinds but hitting over level 200 isn't anything I care to do.

I'm fine with restriction of 2x cards for 200 + as long as there is the content to match.
The restriction AND the nerf of warrior grounds was just too much. I'm now down to about 2% an hour at 209 solo training.
It would be nice to at least have party play still viable, but there is barely anyone to train with at warrior grounds anyway.

The fact that people can get to 22x (or 216 or whatever the highest level is currently) in a fraction of the time that anyone in korea can, a version that has always dominated in the grinding aspect of maple, just shows how good it really was. Whether it was the maps or the ratios or the 2x cards, warriors grounds was amazing and it's still amazing because it's still the best even after all that.

the place being graphics-heavy shouldn't be a reason to nerf it really. honestly i prefer big mobs with big HP and big exp, than a bunch of puny ones with a fraction of their HP.
now mind you, i was not and still am not close to ohkoing them, but if it means that it gives me half the exp for more than half the job, then i don't see this as an upgrade for anyone, funded or unfunded.
also, just because korea is grinding-heavy, doesn't mean people in GMS can't be that nuts too, as you said, we all know some of those.
either way, i voiced my concern already, the diminishing exp as you level up and the fact that for the unfunded getting better equips allows to kill faster, but those that already have good equips can't boost their speed a bit more is the most annoying part (heck, even if you're unfunded, using a 2x coupon is gonna cost you a lot less than doubling your range!)

Being around playing this game for awhile, I've had my fair share of awesome grinding (of that yellow bar 1% each hour) and the laid back VIP treatment (exp buff/Coupon, card stacking, party-play and amazing mobs) up until the DA patch.
Unknowingly I must've been immersed in a pool of ecstacy
to the point that I've completely forgotten how it was pre-BB and make this current situation feel like hell. The recent changes to EXP post-Unleashed (okay... what happened to promoting social interaction) and the removal of cards for 200+, both caused frustration initially. I'm totally over it though (despite me choosing the "pls 2x card and sooper exp rates pl3x" option) and completely lost the ambition and willpower to grind every night after a hard day of work. I don't and will not even try to understand Nexon's logic behind these changes but I'll (try to) believe it was for a good cause. They've stripped away the last of my very few interests in game (although boring it was a good way to keep me away from just being lifelessly gazing at the ceiling) and I'm still not convinced why it had to be done but I'll probably continue to play just for the sake of chatting with friends and being stupid (because I'd rather not youtube all day).
/pointlesswhingethatwillneverbeheardbyNexon
Anyway, given that 5th job hasn't been released there really isn't any requirement for one to reach or try to reach 250 other than for self-esteem. It's just like the lv3 link skill. It's just like climbing Mount Everest. If you put your selfish self to aside, these changes probably won't mean too much. I guess it's time to get off the Nexon drugs.
I'll just do what I did pre-Unleashed. Sit in Leafre and AFK all day long (but now I will hope for Nexon to quickly employ Hectacon or release 5th job so that I have something to do).

I'm sorry for 1 shotting all golems, that I waste several mins running all around the godforsaken map looking for puny groups of 2-3 all the time just to 1 shot them again. I'm repeating my process of running around the map time and time again, and sticking another guy just as strong as me would make us both scramble around with dead spawn times. I started 1 shotting them after the patch however, and not before. At least before I would have them respawn fast enough so I wouldn't even care how long it took me anyways because I can just run to the next big mob in one FJ and not 2-3 mobs or trying to pick out some decent mobs to kill.
I second this. I was able to estimate the amount of mobs I kill per every round of HS while doing attendance event. Before the nerf I was able to kill around 160 mobs, and now I'm only able to kill around 200 mobs.
