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

Sorry, there's a big difference between common sense and sympathy.

Moving on from a game !=> there was a big problem. There shouldn't be anything to be proud of for moving on, to begin with.

For the record, a ranking is an achievement by itself. What's unsaid says volumes.

I will say this because it is becoming incredibly annoying to read: stop insulting people or using ad hominums. It triggers lashbacks, catalyses the derailment of threads, and makes your words less appealing and/or convincing. An argument (read: the civilised sparring of ideas with a logical flow) does not involving calling people something like puny-brained.

Common sense being applied that there should be an archive to reflect the accomplishments players clearly made, not simply erase them. Sympathy to those who are taking this whiplash for voicing out their opinion as something selfish and/or un-progressive. Please attempt to follow the conversation before trying to be a white knight, which is also frowned upon. Not even mention the little room you have to talk with considering people made a thread about how obnoxious signing your own name is, but hey, we all have our styles don't we?

If condescension distracts you from your points, than they weren't worth speaking in the first place. Also like to mention majority of my post is in fact an argument, so I suggest you actually read the conversations before, again, trying to white knight. You look less silly that way.

Then again you should probably telling this to dusk considering he is/was pretty condescending specifically to those who made those accomplishment, but what point is there to point fingers.

I don't understand why taking a snapshot and then sharing it on a MS website like this one or basil wouldn't be enough. Everyone who wants it is capable of doing it. Its not like the rankings will change...ever.

The company/game should acknowledge it, not just the community. They encouraged/challenged and asked us to get to that point, we shouldn't have to "compromise" by making fan variants of them.

I sorta get how you can sympathize because it was A LOT of pineappleing work just for me to be lvl 98 by the release of 4th job on a wk, but at the same time a ranking system that CAN NOT CHANGE once they hit max level is stupid to me and flawed. A ranking system should ALWAYS allow a new comers the opportunity of reaching the top. That's the main reason I dont understand why people are actually making this a serious issue.

Again, I'm not 200, I don't play maplestory and this whole mess is not even relevant to me. However I find it awfully silly how many people are essentially saying "Its a game, changes happen, deal with it, we shouldn't be catering to you", considering how much effort it took for those who did care about the game. I have a lot of friends and people who use this very forum who did a lot of work to accomplish those goals.

Though on the subject of encouragement, I think that's quite the stretch considering miracle cubes, hackers rampant, and other sorts of social problems throughout the game, these new rankings will be completely conquered by ex hackers, or even current hackers alike. Hopefully nexon will fix majority of those problems before this point, but I have little faith personally.
