More or less, yes. Quite frankly, potential and the new expectations of funding have ruined me for expectations 120+ and final gear.
I plan on doing what I had done in RO (granted I am guilty of playing a PServer with a 7x rate for it). Get every character type to the second to last job. In other words, I'll be working on my 24 characters to get them to third job. I won't even be touching scrolls for the duration of my stay in MS. I'll be finding each and every equipment set as I grow in levels and wearing them clean; as I did when I started my current main. It may have taken me 2 years just to get to 50ish back then, but I enjoyed it.
Now, I just want something to look back upon and then drop it since I can tell my addiction to this game is finally declining.
I may be the only one who sees it this way, but rather than "Maplestory Update! (BB) Big Bang!", I see it more as "Maplestory Expiration Date! (BB) Best Before". All it is is giving everyone power while expecting everyone to have gained equal increased power through potential.
That and I'm bitter about cards and vic island. Also, the introduction of OHKO-proof higher level mobs. Been loyal to snipe all this time in hopes of a play-style where I had to be extremely careful and dodge everything in an OHKO or be OHKOed situation. And don't say those mobile bosses are that kind of thing. There's a difference between sticking something to the wall for half an hour and striking your opponents down before they agro. Sure it wouldn't be the most practical training style, but it would have added variety.
But I digress. My main is dead.
