Just so were clear I enjoy reading your posts and I just want to clarify your view of gunbound vs Maple.
Now your comparison of the whole money leading, rather entitling users an advantage, maplestory's advantage benefits only self satisfaction. It's like cheating on super nintendo. I'm somewhat glad they have such a route where I could just throw $100 down and I'm instant set. Now the cubes really were overkill and I dont agree with, it really costs too much to obtain the stats you want without splurging thousands of dollars or MTS merchanting. Either way time is money and both are required to be successful in maplestory. Now your view of successful to mine are probably vastly different. I believe "success" is obtaining any goal that you wish to obtain. If I want X amount of range, no matter if it's below or average, I will obtain it. Now no one can seriously argue the NX advantage that nexon essentiall allow's, but I can argue the use of prepaid gamepoints between gunbound and maple are in fact different. Gunbound is a PVP, such competition will discourage players if a 2 year old can get a 328947307324 missle shooting launcher that hits all but 80 pixels on your screen, which you have to pay to upgrade. It's discouraging losing to someone who simply has more money than you, compared to games like COD which takes skill or hacking(hopefully delt with appropriately). That's why gunbound died.
Although maplestory has it's own "PVP" in terms of comparing, gear and boss times, it's not something that would discourage a player enough to quit. Now dc hacking and illegit programs to litterally cripple the game at it's very foundation is another story. Also Nexon is a little smarter by doing these nx items in sort of an event type format. If pam songs were still available white scrolls would be dead, if 50% scrolls were still available, who would use other scrolls?
Although there is a gap between funded and unfunded, the difference doesn't nerf general gameplay, while NX enhances a characer, gunbounds points godmoded them.
