31/1 - Characters' max level is increased to 250!

To summarize: time sink.

To everyone complaining about rankings: if all you care about is your ranking, maybe you're playing this game for the wrong reasons. Is that all this is about? Fame and recognition, perceived or otherwise? If anything, it should be for your own satisfaction, knowing that you got to level ___ in a legitimate fashion. Hackers shouldn't diminish that feeling.

Hi there genius... people have their own way of obtaining satisfaction. Some, enjoy merching and making billions. Some enjoy bossing. Some enjoy sitting in Henesys with the load of NX they bought, or just chatting with friends. Some enjoy the top spot, racing to the first place.

The grind my friend, and sorry to say, but yes the satisfaction is taken away when others can do it in an illegit manner, and take away your rank. Not all who enjoy the grind, enjoy the top spot, but some do. I enjoyed hitting number 1 Mihile in Bera, not for other people to recognize me, but for my own knowledge that I did it. I play this game for the grind. I actually feel like quitting everytime I hit 200 on the newest Warrior. Of course, I do not. Instead I just build up for the next class I'm interested in.

My point? Your view of satisfaction, is not equivalent to other people's views, though the goal is the same (self satisfaction), there are way too many different methods to reach that end. Just because you don't see it as satisfying doesn't mean other people don't, and you shouldn't tell people what would satisfy them, as you honestly haven't a clue.

Then again, that's seen a lot around here. People flat out trying to tell others their opinions don't matter, or what their opinions are/how wrong they are. So I can't say I blame you, but perhaps you should look at things through other people's eyes, instead of just seeing things in your own perspective and writing off that of others.
