New Root Abyss Equip Drop

What I see is an opportunity for casual players to get a damage boost so that more of the game opens up to them. Casual players don't play the game to become the strongest, the richest, the best, whatever, they play the game to enjoy it for what it is, a game. Do I believe that all of the content, all of the best gear in an MMO should be accessible by every single player? No. And even with the CRA drop changes, it's not.

There are dozens of better ways to do that without punishing your biggest spenders. You're thinking too selfishly about this

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!"

The problem that you both don't see, as you see it merely as a short term benefit. You're essentially condoning making this game a NX based system period. What's the point of mesos when the only way to really obtain them is to sell NX? The only value mesos have is potions, which isn't always needed either.

The long term effect you don't see is months to a year of no reason to even exchange meso's. If the strongest bosses reward is simply NPCable how do you make mesos' in game? You won't unless you spend money, I mean honestly you're buying meso indirectly at this point which is not healthy and further deteriorates the end game content. No one wants that, but people want quick jolts of power.

This would be an entirely different matter if there was a higher tier boss that actually could turn over profits. Really what do end game nx spenders get besides prestige? All the poor players want a chance to fight the boss, then what? You don't get rewarded for beating it besides experience. You strip any motivation or any reward NX spenders have. In fact their only reward. Not that I condone this business model, as everyone should know, but punishing people, the most dedicated to the game, in this fashion is not only stupid, it's nexon further demonstrating they love to hurt themselves.
