Episode 1

I'm gonna hold off on the hatred until i actually see how it works in the game, but if it is as stupid as it looks like Maple will loose some more of its appeal to me. If you can get potential endgame gloves, shoes and hat at a level that you can easily get to in hours, I mean what's the bloody point? One of my favorite features in Maple when I first started was the principle of getting to change looks and gear at different levels. Now you are basically sett at somewhere between level 50-100. And that leaves us with 100 levels of the same trash, just upgrading because of a few stats here and there. Pair that with the lack of higher level material and we have a game that has lots to offer the casual player, but nothing to the ones like me who like the game a lot, but couldn't care less if some hacker/cheater scum does a few hundred damage more or are a few levels higher.
If the trend keeps going towards competition in nothing but damage, I don't think even I could take it much longer.

Also, the dam karma status on every goddamn new equip is getting annoying. Untradable should be because you have to earn it, not because Nexon thinks its cool to get a few dollars out of it. Bad form.
