Why do we play Maplestory?

Now go post this on the maplestory forum, or even basilmarket. Your epiphany is so old and over stated that players actually have default defensive arguments for it.

"God forbid should a international multimillion corporation want to make money"
"you don't HAVE to play, you know"
"It's not pay to win because there is no win"
"I get along fine playing this game without spending money" (of course these people never have any characters above Lv135)

Oh, and "you're only saying this because of your bad luck!"
