Anything and everything you have done up to now in your life, including time spent on Maplestory, is a sunk cost. It's not coming back. Almost no amount of foresight could have prepared you for the fact that they would eventually be reducing rates by almost 80% and redesigning the whole game. Any sunk cost is irrelevant to future decision making.
Time spent having fun is never time wasted. Did you have fun getting all of those levels? If so, then you have lost nothing. If not, then why the hell are you playing a game you don't like?
I just don't see the logic here. Please point out where I'm wrong.
I'm surprised that everyone is surprised at the announcement being so 'early'.
U.I. changes are generally known to get here quicker than actual new content right? This is also a bit of a remix of existing data as opposed to completely creating new content AND adding it in... so i assumed it wouldn't be a year long thing like some people thought it would. lol.
And I agree with Fiel's post 1000%. Do people get upset when the minimum wage increases feeling that their work beforehand was useless by comparison? I think not. The money is already in hand and if you waited,you would not have that money already.
By the same token, you got what you needed by grinding to your level now: By not needing to wait 5 years to experience the content in MS you have already. The fact that you got to Zakum before BB and use maxed out 4th job skills already is the inherent value of your experience with the game. Players have earned that early experience by grinding now and not later: and no new content is going to change that fact.
