[Rant] This game's practically dead in terms of actual content.

First of all calm down. I'm not your daughter and you don't talk to me as an idiot because you're on your period and I'm not seconding you, mmkay?
If you want I can also say that ems is harder to play than gms, because we don't have all the dmt events, nerfed magnus, gollux, cube drops etc. So if I say it's doable in ems, it's doable in gms supposedly the same way. This comes from a person (me) that actually plays the game, whereas you said you have already sold your things, how do you claim to know better than me how things work in a game that I have played pauselessly? The progress is reasonable and consistent, but of course you have to put effort in it, if you want to be spoonfed your 2-2 progress then you did a very good job at quitting maplestory and likely any other mmorpg. I never mentioned there is no gap between rich and poor but from there to saying that it's catastrophic and the game is going to die, that's being ridiculous. I infact agreed to the only opinion that was backed up with reason. Don't bother replying with another full-insult argumentless outrage.

important and relevant question: how's the meso botting situation in ems though? a huge portion of the problem in gms is that there's a massive amount of mesos constantly generated by botters, who also drive down the prices of Elite Boss items as well.

that being said, no one is asking to be spoonfed. there's a substantial difference between playing a couple to even a few hours a day (and maybe not every day) and expecting to see progress and wanting to play for an hour and see immediate progress.
