Nexon has always screwed over high levelers. That's nothing new. Before Neo-City was decided on we were asking for JMS's Neo-Tokyo because the enemies there gave the highest amounts of EXP on average of 10,000 EXP total per kill. Nearly 1.5x that of Time Temple and 2x that of Dragon Canyon and Ulu City. There were plenty of us that stated it was a better choice because it was engineered for people 140+ in level and even up til about 170 you could kill a single monster and still get 0.01% or better per kill. We as always were ignored becasue a few people kept saying as always like these quotes I've collected from Nexon's official forums, "Why bother catering to high levelers? They don't matter. None of the play except to boss hunt. Why should we give them there own area when people 2nd and 3rd job can't even go there?" And those are just some the the countless excuses I've heard to cripple, hinder, and screw over high levelers.
The funniest part is, when people get to Level 140, most of the time they switch from being the one crying not to have content, but to having content.
If we had gotten JMS's Neo-Tokyo, right now, for most people 140+ it would have been a total gold mine of EXP because only areas included in KMS got the complete rewrite and were not affected or were minimally affected making them easier but with the same EXP levels.
Currently one of the best monsters to hunt is Rurumo in Magatia. It has a few hundred thousand HP but yields Neo-Tokyo level EXP at 10,000 EXP estimated. One of those nets me at least 0.03% which is by far very nice. Imagine a full area of that available.
The problem finalizes as this... Nexon listens to new players and low levelers more than they listen to veteran players and high levelers. Plus, none of us make an effort to get what we want. If we did get a proper Neo-Tokyo addition with Big Bang adjustments and EXP levels to boot for high levelers and not a reflection of what JMS did get which nerfed their Neo-Tokyo, we could have an area worth going to.
Stereo, I did try those areas and got less EXP still. Even Red Wyverns which were closer to my level and Ice weak offered nothing better.
