Why is the economy so bad? Why are things the way they are? We have lots of things to blame, but we're also missing one thing... Many other games and RPGs have this factor in it but it's surprisingly absent from Maplestory.
You can kill a slime and get a sapphire ore.
You could kill... I dunno, a blue mushmom for a sapphire ore too.
But you can only ever really get one, And you have the same chance of finding one on both.
That's right, Maplestory lacks any scaling of drop rewards. Sure, we get a few more mesos as we go along, but those are barely worth anything to the player for the majority of the game. But while you can get a teensy bit more mesos the farther up the monster chain you go, what you get for a kill remains just as pitiful as always. ores, stars, and scrolls come to mind when considering the lack of increased drop rate or amount.
