Maplestorys stat and equip system! discussion! how would you change it?

If we were to go back, attack gears should not have been released (just weapons should have attack). Make higher level equips stat bonuses higher so it's worth using them. And if weapon is the only source to attack, all the better to scale higher tier with more attack so people are more willing to upgrade. I dislike seeing everyone using work gloves, bathrobe and pretty much the same things. There should be a market for different equipment at various levels. Maybe a constitution stat that gives more hp and defense, but of course, all of these are already too late. Maple has too many upgrade slots, make them lower, and vicious hammers are just plain ridiculous. A forging upgrade system should be incorporated alongside with scrolling, gives more variety or maybe give scrolls scaled bonuses instead of constant. A game isn't much fun to look forward to if all you gear are all set at level 50 and you'll be using them till level 200. (Hey, this used to apply to dexless sins)
