Maple Story's real problem.

There's plenty of ways to make money. Gacha is just for people that are either too lazy, dumb or just spoiled. Same for mesobuyers, although they usually aren't legit to begin with so they don't really care.

Yes, the economy is somewhat screwed up. But you can either nudge your butt into it and get used to it, or sit somewhere being broke and complaining about it.
