You don't have to collect every single treasure and item to beat I dunno, Tales of Symphonia. Well, you could argue that you don't have to play it or get past the beginning at all, but then you're missing out on the story and the gameplay, and from there you go into a "well isn't everything a waste of time then" argument. The main content of the game is to play through the storyline, and everything else is just to provide distractions to enhance replay value and overall gameplay experience.
The main content of MapleStory is the killing monsters, and the party quests. I'm not saying "who cares it's just monster book," because obviously a lot of you guys do care, but my first post was just to question Isaac's analogy, in which he compared messing up your monster book to messing up your skills.
Why do you keep assuming something is not important just because it's not important to you. I think main and side content on maple (or any game for that matter) is subjective. Some people only train, some only do quests, some just sit in town chatting with their buddies, some collect cards. Just because it's of no consequence to your own playing style doesn't make it more or less relevant.
Idk what your motivation on MS is, but say it's training. Just plain ol grinding.
So you have your main character.. idk maybe a pally or a hero which has been slower to train than other classes, but after all your effort you've gotten to say.. level 180 and your hard work is paying off. Now let's say, one day you decided to make a cleric and level it up just enough for it to be a HS mule, so you got it to level 80. One day you log on and your warrior is level 80 and you have a 180 bishop. weeeeee.
Or maybe your thing is doing quests, and you've managed to get some of the annoying quests that make you travel all around maple 1000 times out of the way. You log on and some of the easier quests you hadn't done moved to your completed list and the annoying quests are back on your available tab. awesome.
My point is, even if this time Nexon's incompetence didn't affect the game in the areas you consider important, you could at least try to be sympathetic to the people it did affect instead of just saying monster book isn't as important as other areas of the game.
And back on the original subject, I've sent a ticket as well. And it'd be nice if the people who read this thread helped send one to try and get Nexon's attention.
