Whether it's managed by an entirely different team, I think they'll still have the same philosophies as the first, and it will once again evolve into the pay to win giant that the first has grown into over the last 3 years. Just my opinion I guess, but I still won't even bother downloading the beta of MS2. Sure, a big reason for that is because I know all the people I played with for 6 years no longer play and will continue not playing, but it's not the only reason.
I'm normally the pessimist but even I find this being a tad extreme.
We have absolutely no evidence that things will be bad, other than MapleStory 1 being bad (and it really didn't start off bad, either, outside of some generic KMMO downfalls, it got bad much later). They announced this game five years ago and absolutely nothing afterwards, which implies a heavy development time, which is something that is extremely desirable and implies actual thought into what they are doing.
All we have is a generic teaser trailer and a very, very, very blurry picture from early in the development. There's basically nothing to base your pessimism on.
I have absolutely no care or hype for the game myself until I see anything other than a generic teaser site, but I'm not going to say that the game is guaranteed to be bad, because there's simply no grounds for that. It was already stated that a completely different development team is working on it, which can make all of the difference. For all we know, the problems of MS1 are simply because of the Development team is stale and out of ideas, and just milking their game until people finally give up on it.
