I hate to even jump in this conversation, because I'm so jaded concerning Maple that nowadays I look on EVERY SINGLE NEW THING WITH DISDAIN. I wish the game wouldn't die. I wish the playerbase would surge after QoL improvements and less P2W is implemented, but it's been this way for YEARS, and GMS is lacking some content that reduces the reliance on P2W (not because of time frames, but because... well I don't even fucking know anymore *cough*auctionhouse*cough*mileage*cough*). Maple was, and will always remain, my first love, which is why I wish the best for it. Every time I watch an EC video, I immediately want to copypasta the video and quotes from the video ALL OVER the Nexon forums, because it makes so much sense that their business model is alienating and unsustainable long-term, but nothing really changes.
You guys on SP are sooo full of wonderful ideas; willing to put time and effort into theorycrafting serious improvements on the game, and eventually on Nexon's bottom line (stop sucking on that whale blubber, you fucktards). I just wish that NexonNA was able to made conscionable decisions without deferring to NexonKR every time, and then make GOOD, MORAL decisions (we've seen some leeway in regards to changed content, but we need a version of Maple that caters to an entirely Western audience, not watered down Korean content).
Keep sensible shortcuts, tone wayyyyy down on the predatory gambling, give us transparent and reachable itemization goals, give us options on decorative item durations (YOU KNOW WE WANT PERM CLOTHES AND WILL PAY PREMIUM FOR THEM, GIVE THEM TO US NOW), make bossing accessible and worthwhile (unique items with unique effects, ala Ryudes, that are only account tradeable and won't bog down the economy), and maybe add some area bosses or quests that give unique and useful items as well because exploration made Old Maple sooo good. Saving the game isn't hard, but somehow it seems impossible. Thanks Obama.
