Why do we play Maplestory?

Don't forget that CDnF is still very popular, even with American players. It even offers in-game gold conversion to the Chinese equivalent of "NX," and the rate isn't half bad if you make it to end-game and spend time farming gold. If I'm not mistaken, ALL items in the cash shop can be purchased with the converted currency, but don't quote me on that, I'm not 100% certain.

A lot of the dfo players transferred over to cDnf ( those that couldn't acquire an account for dnf) and I do recall you could buy the keys (gachapon related) for the chests in gold.

Please dennyr your posts are so one sided that it honestly is impossible to even refute your statements.
