I thought I was pretty strong back in my "prime" but Nexon said a big pineapple you to my hard work by releasing cubes and to a lesser extent, hammers. Potential seriously ruined MapleStory in my opinion. It made bosses a complete joke (and pretty much ruined my primary source of income since my guild monopolized HT for a while but that's a whole other story). I liked it when people still needed Bishops in their party. Oh well, at least I still have memories such as going totally emo from failing Gen 30, having crazy training sessions at Skeles (especially with Scania's first Level 200 Shadower!), and being in the first squad in Scania to ever beat Pink Bean! It seems like there's a level 200 every 30 mins now and it's not even remotely a big deal like it was when I played!
I remember ThatWasMyKil. I don't remember him as a strong Bishop but good on him for improving himself.
I remember those days as well, I was pretty noob as a bishop back then, but ran with WiiPimpin and GoldenHawk on their Pink Bean and Czak runs.
As for being strong, yeah, money helps. I don't mind throwing some nx into the game here and there, although I'll admit I usually end up buying things other than cubes.
I got compensated for being hacked awhile ago, and that compensation went to my cubing. Aside from that, my scrolling of gear is purely from merching in game and buying nx with meso; which I'm quite proud of.
