No. For your average joe who couldn't fulfil the specific party requirements to achieve optimal EXP pre-BB and didn't use 2x EXP cards/family buffs, it's a hell of a lot faster. 3-4 hours a level soloing at 14x is something my Shadower could only ever dream of. The way boss EXP scales now post-BB (in gMS at least) also makes doing a couple of bosses a day and nothing else an actual viable method of training and not a complete waste of time EXP-wise. As far as I'm concerned they made Maple more playable for the casual player.
Ultimates were so so boring and broken. Actually glad my AMs EXP intake has been effectively halved.
Accuracy system sucks a fair amount, but since I solo alot and have been too mesmerised by how easy it is to level, it hasn't affected me much.
10x-11x being "slow" is an illusion created by the ridiculous EXP rates of levels 1-100. You can still level in under 2 hours all the way to level 120, but you're too used to the 40 minutes to an hour rates of the previous levels.
