As for why I happen to disagree with just about everything you've posted in this thread, is because you put so much emphasis on having the best equips and killing the top bosses instead of actually playing the game. You've mentioned that you can just spend money in order to get the best equips/mesos/NX, and while that's true there's nothing wrong with not having the best equips or being able to kill the best bosses. The focus on having the highest possible damage and being able to kill the hardest bosses in the game is what takes a lot of the enjoyment out of maple. There's nothing wrong with having that as a goal, but to suggest that the game is impossible to play without NX or spending money is an exaggeration. You're right that to get the best gear it takes actual money or NX, but there are plenty of ways to upgrade equips in game. Just because you can spend money to upgrade faster doesn't make it better, some people actually get enjoyment out of working towards their goals in game instead of just paying for them.
It's a game, it has no purpose. There are many ways to play the game and to suggest that not spending money and working your way up to better equips is bad because you don't find it enjoyable is wrong. I'm not saying that having the highest damage possible requiring NX is fair and that people shouldn't be unhappy with it, but if you find that actually playing the game and spending time doing in game things to be a chore then you're most likely playing the wrong game.
I made you post this for a reason. I called you out because you didn't read my posts, clearly and took a bias stance for your friend. You should just stick to lurking, it suits you.
Edit: It helps when you don't down vote not even 4 seconds after the post. As I figured, you can't read that fast.
Let me elaborate since I'm home now. You sit here and throw this stereotype on me because I disagree, and yet my argument is nothing to do with that. If you want to accomplish at the most minimal level, it requires a dedication that would be equivalent to a job. When you play a MMO that is free, you choose to spend money to accelerate the process of whatever goal is attainable. You don't do that with CS. You get immediate results to half a year.
You can enjoy all the little quirky things MS has to offer, but theres a reason why everyone is quitting. Those little things aren't worth doing. Once you hit 200 where the game should begin, it doesn't, it ends. Pick your poison, but in the end there should be a reasonable method to get at least above average, not struggling and depending on events to give you free stuff, assuming they dont expire.
