So what is the point of Pink Bean?

Although, I dont blame people for expecting a reward for beating an optional boss or having a significant acheivement. Video games have changed significantly from the old days, where people mostly played for the challenge and high scrore or other accomplishments for bragging rights.

Reading this post reminded me of something: I'm surprised Maplestory doesn't have an achievements system yet. That sounds like something right up Nexon's alley, especially considering it's a huge time-sink for players and doesn't require much work to code (at least I presume).
