Nexon Hates Reg./Low LUK.

@ Atruya, I somewhat feel the same way as you.

I started around Maple 1st Anniversary, when the first maple weapons were released. At that time, the concept of LUKless was new and I knew a bit about it - however, it was in the minority, so it wasn't popular

Time passes, it gets more popular. Level 64 maple weapons released 2 years later, gives LUKless the major boost. Then the final blow came with elemental weapons months later (level 130 ones especially).

Serioiusly, Im considered a "high-LUK mage" now (yes, even my own MS friends poke fun at me for it now), not a normal since I have 89 base (total of 114 with equips). If this bull continues, I (and other older normal-LUK mages that are not planning to reset AP/restart) will might as well be extinct in just coming months. I literally had no way to get a zhelm (remember 2-3 hour Zakum runs?) and my original plan was to cap at 89 for level 90 equips and Magicodar. But those plans were literally destroyed overnight in the new updates we got this year.

I'll bet some LUK mages were thinking about this: "Where the bloody hell is my dignity now?"

This.
Why did I quit my original F/P, the one that I happened to use Will and Elu as my inspiration for, when he was so far (only char I had gotten to level 70 until my shadower, a year later)?
Because The stupid lukless' got so freakin powerful that I was shunned for being normal luk.
When I was first making him, I had the EXACT same thing as will did.
Luk was the only build really. Lukless was about as rare as pure poison second job mages.
Then they got suddenly popular and I had to quit because of all the making fun of.

Thanks a lot, nexon, for ruining my first real maplestory character.
