This is pretty much sums it up for me:
I don't really see the big deal in Nexon raising the level cap. I also don't see why everyone is so caught up in trying to get to the level cap. I understand that, as the cap, it's a pretty good, and very... well, final, goal, but the game itself doesn't push you into getting to cap. There's nothing special about getting to the cap, well, besides finally attaining it, I suppose, and besides rankings, I suppose, there never has been. When it was 200 (It is very weird talking about our present in the past tense), you got a medal, you got echo, you possibly got a mount.
There's even less reason to get to the cap now. Take now for example, you don't have to be 200 to get all your skills maxed, the highest bosses are 190, you only have to be 190 if you don't want an accuracy penalty, killing those bosses is another story, I admit, and I feel like Hypers are more of an extra reward for doing extra leveling than a necessity. After the cap is raised, you don't even get SP or AP, and you certainly don't get anything just for being 250.
As stated many times before, Maple isn't one of those games like WoW, there aren't all these amazing things you can do once you hit the cap; for Maple, the cap is just an arbitrary level, that, if you so choose, you can possibly reach; it's not guaranteed that you'll be able to hit it, and it doesn't have to be easy to get there. This is also why, I'm sorry, but I feel that complaints of lack of end game content are pretty unjustified. Instead of asking why there isn't anything to do once you're at cap, perhaps the question you should be asking is why you're at the cap in the first place, and this extends to earlier levels to, if there's nothing to do, why did you work to get there in the first place? Take me, for example, now all I really do, and want to do, is kill bosses, so basically, all my reasons for leveling to 200 are pretty much so I don't suffer accuracy penalties, and so I don't lose EXP when I die. Now that there's a new cap, well, I'd definitely love to hit it, and I'm probably gonna be training the instant we get this patch, but, I don't have to be 250 right away.
I also fail to see why having extra SP means Nexon should've had 5th job to use up those SP right away. I mean, 3rd and 4th job didn't come automatically as soon as people got to 70 and 120, so it's not like having extra SP is really anything new.
That isn't to say that I don't sympathize with you and wish there were more things to do, but, I'm also content to just get on Maple, chat with friends, sometimes do events, sometimes do bosses, sometimes train.
