Archived from Nexon Forums: "Honest Players Beware!"

Well, if he enjoys it then what is the problem? It would be one thing if he moaned and cried over how bad the game was, and if he does then I apologize. But honestly if he enjoys the time he spends in the game maybe that is reward enough for him. Everyone has something they do in their lives that others probably consider a waste of time.

The difference in this ideology of "enjoyment is simply time wasted" (majority of the time, such as movies, bars etc) is very very simple. Most things that bring enjoyment thus waste time, don't punish you for using their service, they don't deny you using some or even most services based on stupid decisions. Look at you marty, in a single random day nexon decided to take all of your equips, for no basis besides "Well, they aren't supposed to be there even though their existence was for years".

People can enjoy rock climbing, but there's better services that dont demand you go barefoot.

Yes putting a mushie up is very time consuming....
It's not a 'waste' if I enjoy merching.
How do I not get rewarded?
I merch and my reward is mesos.
With the meso I get stronger and make more mesos.
Until the point I can use the mesos for other purposes.
That's my goal and if I can merch instead of spend real money on this game to reach that goal then I don't see any problem.

Until you reach the point of every other mapler who's reached the epiphany that strength has a significant cap, and even if you manage to break that cap, your strength is merely just a faster variant that a much lower, much less invested player can do. Those new bosses that come out, that are absolutely new, thus undefeatable, don't even have a drop table, so you end up with people like Lagoon or whatever his name is, who end up quitting because his investment was worthless. There is no other game that I can think of, that releases a new boss that is PURPOSELY impossible to defeat, to the point that they dont even add a drop table.

And spend mesos on what else exactly? On purchasing NX? So am I to assume if Nexon goes and migrates the dragonnest GM's and CRITICALLY enforces no purchasing of nx from other players, what other alternative do you have, if any? Is that the straw that breaks the camels back? Or are you going to lay down on the saving grace of this silly mileage system that has a critical cap on what you can receive.
