It's an entirely different game. Different monsters, different maps, different skills, different equipment (tho that came early, with potential)... It just looks a bit alike, and uses the same names. A rip-off of Maple, but "everything you know is wrong."
I don't mind things getting easier, if they do. I would welcome a new training area where it would take me less than 3000 hours (of 1x) to get to level 200.
I also don't mind lower levels getting better training mobs or gear, and being able to do in months what took me years.
What I mind is switching games.
I figure if I'm going to play a new game, might as well make it one that Nexon doesn't own. Since, for all the "revamp" and even hoped-for Win7-compatible client, they're not fixing the fundamental design flaws that make this game so prone to getting hacked/glitched/abused. They're also not taking care of the intolerable lags, lack of in-game GM presence or any kind of customer service, and their NX-greed just keeps getting worse. Why would I want to learn a new game with the same flaws? Just because Nexon gives me a free level 176 warrior (with some barely decent gear, way too much dex, and a set of skills I don't know) and tell me it's still my Hero that I know and love? Sorry, my mind doesn't work that way.
MapleStory is an MMO, and is therefore in a constant state of flux. To argue that this isn't MapleStory doesn't make any sense. Six years ago, MapleStory was four towns and a little dungeon, and skills up to level 70. The game has changed a lot since then, and it will continue to change. Nearly all of the changes to Big Bang are positive; I'm assuming the negativity is mostly coming from resistance to change.
