You just need to let it go. I literally had 2-3 years of 100% access of all the inner workings of Nexon, along with passing along relevant feedback to the very developers, in addition to anyone relevant. Your suggestions are not falling on deaf ears, they never were, it's really as simple as "It's working, we don't have to take any risks to try to make it better".
Nexon America is just a shallow extension for international presence, they cannibalize their own games trying to get quick turn overs on them, they're even focusing on getting people to stream their games now for their debuts. There is no point of a discussion because it's not a matter of awareness, it's simply not a worthwhile investment for change. With the recent happenings with EA though, this may change, since lootboxes will be considered gambling; although maplestory revolves more around 'scrolling', I'm sure that conversation will come up.
Also to answer your questions; I have no idea, but I did look at a private server recently, I have a bunch of casuals who play it, literally have no donation option to buy your gear, it's grinding it out, all pre big bang pomegranate with updates with skills. I really didn't feel like grinding since my main class, dark knight, need all that accuracy shenanigans. Looked up the price people are selling perfect scrolled gear for, I'm thinking you know, like $60-100 bucks max, its a fucking private server right?
$2,400.00 for true end game gear set. On a private server.
