How do people level up so fast?

It is kind of crazy, but sometimes just sitting there in front of your computer and grinding can be stress relieving (from school, work, uni, etc). You don't need to think much and can see your achievements faster than in RL, which gives you a feeling of self accomplishment. I can see how that can get verrrrry addicting. After doing that for few times, you'll become very fast at leveling in no time.

I always enjoy Maple Story the most when I am the most stressed in RL. D:

This is the very reason I play. I grind while I am at the office because it allows me to think clearly about my programming. Since adrenaline spikes can be very dangerous for me, I also grind while I watch sports. It keeps me grounded enough to enjoy the game and not get overly excited.

Well, you don't need prequests for Chyrse anymore
You can just run up to the boss and start soloing in your own party
