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

But it actually does increase though, the more upgrade options you have. Which is how potential, bonus potential, star force/enhancements, nebulites, etc. all have introduced problems to the game and is also a deterrent to party play. Notice here we're talking about a damage gap, not a defense gap, an accuracy gap, or an HP gap, in which normal MMORPG games structure the gameplay around (at least for anything combat related including party play). For Maple, only the damage gap matters - and we have a ridiculously large one.
