Ohhh yeah this is getting locked soon. `-` Tone it down on the flames & offtopic?
Talking about exp rates is unfair? Oh please. The majority of the top 300 has 4x, and I've managed to stay in the 150-250 range without it (til very recently; 270ish I think? Been busy the past 2-3 days helping paranoid mum get ready for Faye, lol), and only about the top ~50 are 70+. I'm a player who can't buy NX, a perfect example of Strawberries' statement. Will I ever be number one? Hell no, I'd burn out if I tried and have to take a break; even if I could I wouldn't want the attention. Have I reached 4th job & beyond without it, and can/will I do it again? Of course. First time's always the hardest, mirite? Not everyone's a whiner tbh.
The "whiners" may not have been able to pass the BFers, but many of them sure as hell could have passed some of the leechers and they do lose ranks because of them. For a lot of people, that kills their motivation. I couldn't care less about the drama & who BFs and who doesn't, but when people can't shut the pineapple up about it long enough to play the damn game (yes, that IS what maple is), that bothers me. It bothers a lot of other players as well. If I were to quit Yellonde, that would be why. Personally I think BF is "broken", but it's not like there aren't already other things that "break" the game (maybe not as extreme).
Any simple solution they impose to satisfy the majority will have negative effects anyway. Ban them all? Nah, they couldn't get every BFer/leecher even if they wanted to. Lower the exp/increase spawn time/boss flag it? Not enough people would kill it for the maps to be trainable for lower levels & that makes getting the Star harder as well. The only way to "fix" it would be to implement a change to BF that makes it not so farmable without making it harder to get the Star (like making it an instance map), and rollback Yellonde's exp. D'you realize how many people would be extremely pissed at Nexon if they did that? Very few people really care about what's best for the game. They just want what they want, and nothing/no one else matters. This is why you nabz aren't in charge. :B
lol3ampost. Have at me.
Edit: oh 'n before someone says "lolz y u no go 2 target??" there isn't one here and there are no other stores here that sell NX cards.
