How many people are REALLY still playing Maplestory?

80% of the botters that currently bot are Chinese. The other 20% or so are people with private clientless bots, running anywhere from 20-50 bots at once, that sell to the Chinese. A very small number of people find exploits anymore, and an even smaller number are the infamous "hackers playing legit".

I am looking at these people botting right now at monsters that are 100 levels below them. and despite this still gain 22 bil exp a week. In a certain hacker hotspot that has existed for more than the 6 years I've been playing.
