The Rebirth of Maple World! (big bang)

Continuing on the levels thing, I firmly believe that Maplestory follows Moore's Law. Every 18 months, Maplestory becomes twice as easy to level whether due to levels, potential system, scrolls, equipment, or just outright decreasing exp rates.

I'm sure it's faster than that. Global has been out for less than 4 x 18 months and I'm pretty sure it's a hell of a lot easier than 16x the speed of when GMS first came out. My first 4th job, which I started back in mid-2007, took over a year, and my most recent one, which I started in July, took 3 weeks. No huge change in trainiing habits.
