I tI think that Devil is being entirely too pessimistic and that Maple's future is a lot brighter than he thinks.
DFO is financial success, and the game entirely wants you to hit the level cap and start over. There's nothing wrong with encouraging players to make multiple characters because leveling is so easy.
And who cares about items anyway? This isn't v0.5 where everyone either goes to gobis or doesn't train. All of the new spots opening up with big bang are going to make item whoring far less possible. Go ahead and do more damage, why should that bother me?
Playing Maplestory made playing DFO hard for me because in DFO your damage is entirely irrelevant (in PvE). I believe that Maplestory is moving toward a similar system by making better items more easily attained for casual players visa vis-a-vis the potential system.
Honestly, Devil's entire post shows little to no insight into the game's mechanics and reveals more about his pessimistic nature than anything else.
