New Root Abyss Equip Drop

You are the "Maplestory players are masochists" guy aren't you? If so, you've picked up a new round of ammunition there, buddy. And to be honest, anyone intending to "invest" large amount of money into the game should really keep what you said in mind; Nexon will almost certainly devalue your gear or hamper your meso-making potential at sometime in the future, you can't really blame anyone when that happens, when you know this to be true.

Like the real world, a good investor knows when to exit the market or dramatically reduce exposure and risk. Diversify yo' bonds. Seriously, diversify.

You said it well. It's for the greater good, I suppose. I hear two sides on this issue:

1) High-damage players who spent a lot of money to kill these bosses so they could monopolize the profits from the drops - "QQ I can't make as much money as I used to. Now everyone will have these equips!"

2) Casual players, who don't play to make money, but to enjoy the game - "Yay! Now I actually have hope of getting one of these magical equips! I don't care about cubing or scrolling, it'd be nifty just to have an RA set!"

I have to side with the second group of players. Nexon just needs to change the systems in the game to make it so that NX CANNOT give you a drastic advantage over other players, only cosmetic items and small shortcuts to things that are normally accessible in-game (shielding and protection scrolls, cubes, etc.) Look at GW2, you CANNOT increase your power 1000x by spending money on the game, but is it still fun to play? Yes. Is it still worth it to kill bosses and other "endgame" content? For most people, yes, just to say you've beaten X boss and maybe get some equips that won't completely invalidate your current gear. A level playing field is good in my eyes. At least the dev team could focus on real content instead of new classes and revamps.

From what I understand this isn't the KMS party drop system. Didn't KMS system divide the loot. This system doesn't.

I think this is their system. However, I'm not sure if they received any such "increased drop rate" that we allegedly got for CRA. That's what's confusing.
