But that has changed.
We now get cube drops, and we get cubes for Reward Points.
Nexon is changing its approach to MapleStory. According to my Korean guildy, the previous Director of MapleStory in NexonKR is known for milking games dry (he's ruined a few before coming to Maple), but the new one is known for saving dying games. It does take years, but they clearly have long-term plans for MapleStory. They wouldn't be investing in a new animation engine if they didn't. Or in Reboot world. Plus the new system for transfering potential and stars from lower level gear to higher one looks interesting (although not transferring scrolling does take away much of the charm).
Yes, some things look like the same old same old: class rebalance, followed by hyped new class (is it OP? I haven't really heard); Dojo revamp that still favors pay2winners; endless filler events, attendances, coin shops; half-baked content and events; bugs galore; ... it does get tiresome.
So, we'll see.
