It doesn't have interesting content but you still continue to play interesting
Because I've spent thousands of hours and hundreds of dollars on it and it's difficult to just let that all go to waste. Because I've got contacts that I can only contact through maple. Because it's addictive and I'm weak. And mostly because it has potential, Nexon just doesn't take advantage of it. I only come back when there's something I hope will be good (like evan... what a waste of time that ended up being though.) I just came back from a 3 month hiatus before that patch.
And uh, you mean MAGATIA in which case you'd be very wrong. Magatia is the richest training ground in the game, from 20 to 60, Magatia is the fastest place in the game and tons of people use it. You would know that if you went there for more than just your maker quest, so don't make assumptions.
"Some players" =/= the majority. If you've ever noticed, about 3 weeks into any given patch the number of players online drops dramatically. That's because a lot of people get bored and break until the next patch is released. None of the patches we've seen in almost a year have an real "staying" power besides Time Temple and Aran, and even that is for a select few.
MapleStory's content isn't interesting.

Would there be a massive boycott? Even after all these patches... what are people still doing? They're training, fm-ing, Zakking and lolHT-ing... things we got ages ago. If you're not satisfied then quit, but the since so many people here actually complain about silly patches like these and the time it takes for it to be completed, I'm guessing that boycott won't be happening anytime soon.
The new content brings people back and sucks them into the game again for a while until the realise how boring it is. I didn't mean they just play the new content for their entire duration, sorry.
HTers and stuff fall into a special category of people who think they own the game and therefore have no reason to quit. Zaking groups quit all of the time because guilds fall apart due to inactivity.
