guess what the thread is about?
people who played maple for things other than damage BECOMING THE MINORITY.
the game has gone from one that allowed and promoted different ways of playing, social, customizable, damaging, etcetera, to one centric on damage, that's what this thread is about, that's what khainiwest said at the very beginning of his very first post, and that's what you keep missing.
i don't care if you see this game as "BIG NUMBERS: THE GAME", good for you, enjoy that, no problem indeed like you said. but in doing that everything else the game had has been slowly dying, the things I cared about. if tomorrow this game turns into "SECOND LIFE: SPRITE VERSION" i certainly hope you don't complain that the game lost the focus that you liked then.
nowhere did i say it was the sole mean of socializing, but it's a different kind of socializing and i enjoy that, maple has been killing that, for the third time. so OP here is complaining that the game has changed his initial focus.
PD: i'm not bryan.
