Why do we play Maplestory?

solo an endgame boss

imo, all the people wanting to do this killed the game even more than Potential. Potential was a decent idea on paper, but Craftsman/Meister Cubes should have been available right off the bat, and people shouldn't feel that they have to solo everything.

You don't NEED a 2m - 2m range and 300% Boss
You don't NEED to hit 50m/line on everything
You don't NEED 10t mesos across 5 accounts

Really, what was so bad about taking, say, a party of 6 moderately funded players and taking on an endgame boss?
