I'm not sure if you're keeping up with the actual discussion or just picking and choosing what you want to hear, you tend to do that a lot. Once reaching 200 you're promised certain things, included that position on ranking. It's pretty obvious they won't randomly remove that, and most likely have an archive, but it's pretty disappointing that most players don't think they deserve that right at the very least.
Dusk Wrote:Sorry, no choir of angels, no big celebration. I don't want to be cynical here, but the entire point of the ranking is just to be a form of self-validation for people who are willing to sit on their ass and hit three buttons for 3000 hours. There is no real or permanent benefit that comes out of it. If you're not having fun on MapleStory and you're treating it as a form of labor, you need to put the game down and seek help.
There is always work in a game, for christ sake you play MMO games, the worst offenders of this, it's downright to retarded to say there is no work in an MMO at all. The rankings were also in place to encourage competition within the player base, like..well every other game.

People who collect medals always wear their most rare medal, they don't whine when a new one that's more rare comes out, they acknowledge the fact that the game progresses and realise that they got the other medal when it was rare and tackle the new challenge to get that medal. Or they don't give a crap and quit getting medals, either way they know that they got that rare medal when it was available, nobody is taking that away from them.
Again you clearly haven't been following the conversation. It's pretty much silly to assume nexon won't put up an archive. I'm arguing against the cynical kid's who believe that there is no value in accomplishment in a game, much like friendships, or relationships in general. It should be apart of the game's history, not swept under the rug as an improvement for "potential for end game content", when the current cap barely had enough of it as it is.
If they don't deserve the ranking, why do the deserve the mount, the medal, or anything really. They did it, so what right? It's not a personal problem to me, so you can stop acting as such.
Geeze arguing with people over the same points, over something that should be common sense is exhausting :|
