KMST 1.2.475 Dawn Warrior Revamp

but once something new comes out, BAM, all their skills are ripped off and given fresh coats of paint.

This is Maplestory. It's a 2d game. That means the whole thing is nothing but a bunch of boxes painted in different ways. There are only so many ways you can make boxes interact with other boxes. The boxes have various numbers in them. There are only so many ways you make the numbers in one box affect the numbers in another box.

The core game engine is ALWAYS going to be limited. Because the core game engine is limited, any box built on the core game engine will share the same limitations. If you don't enjoy playing the core game, you won't ever enjoy Maplestory, regardless of what job you play. A job is just one way to paint a box.
