Why do we play Maplestory?

For me at least, making money in maple was a frustrating, time consuming nightmare.

I don't need in game purchases to make money in WoW. All I need are professions, raid finder, and dailies (among other things). No need to break bank just to fully gear a character for end game content.

You chose well, my friend. It's sad when $15 a month is a far better use of your money than "Free-to-play" models like Maple.
