Pre-Big Bang Maplers, how do you feel about Maplestory now?

I only enjoy Maple now because I'm in the top 1% that can do high end bosses. Otherwise I doubt I'd have fun.

Pretty much this. Gollux was amazing just because he was slightly outside my damage level but still possible to solo hard mode. If i were only strong enough to barely do normal i think it wouldn't have grabbed my attention nearly as much.
