Please...Nexon...

So hermits and bowman who can kill BF in late 3rd job fairly easily and get good exp from him.

lolwut

Are you serious man? We can't even kill BF "fairly easily" in 4th job anymore. What the hell 3rd job can kill BF, let alone fairly easily? If you're gonna make a statement to show how mages suck at bossing compared to the other classes, at least use one that is true/makes sense. BF is largely controlled by the high level warriors now, who often sell it for leech.

And yeah yeah, leech discussion. MS' grind is too long. Mages level too much faster compared to everyone else. Yada yada. Maybe so, but so what? Maplestory isn't going anywhere any time soon. I miss the days of actual training parties. I miss the days when bosses could be hunted without the KS/leech selling drama. I miss a lot of things. But MS has changed and its community along with it. Different people find different things fun. New things create new opportunities. Leeching makes it easy to level. Selling leech makes it easy to earn money. So people do them. Unless Nexon takes an active, open stance against either practice, they are not going to go anywhere.

My point in all this is just do what you find fun. Most of the time it's still very possible to have fun in MS, even with all this crap going on around us. It sucks when it gets in your way (like all the f'ags stealing/taking bosses just to sell the exp to others), but you just have to get over it. I miss BF and Anego, but there's still other bosses to enjoy. Just because mages and leechers level so fast doesn't mean anything. I level at my own pace, and I find it great fun still. MS shouldn't be about the ranks. There shouldn't be all this stupid elitism if people want to play MS like that either. Just...deal with it, goodness.

Blanket statements are stupid. Yes, even when they're used about leeching. Leeching is used by good players and complete retards alike. It can create idiots like in your screenshot or it can create high level "pro" players. So people need to drop the elitist attitude about leeching. If you don't wanna leech, that's great. I admire that. But don't think you're better than all leechers because of it. You're playing MS, f'ags. Get over it.

So I'll just end it by saying I do wish a lot about MS would change. However, I still think MS in a very fun game. I will be just fine if the exp curve never changes. If leeching never goes away. Etc etc. I think we should be dwelling on the REAL problems, like Nexon's stupidity/lack of caring/greed, hacking and scamming. Not the unbalanced leveling and class system of MS... If you can't find fun despite that, then you SHOULD quit.
