At the same time, don't let these flaws scare you, it is true that you can ''play without having the game be another form of labor'' if you do invest in given pieces of equipment. People say MoN's are a piece of crap these days, but I find that they're darned good enough for what I need them for, most of my equips either have 3% or 6% str on them, and I'm a bucc. I pretty much 1-2hit all of the mobs that are my level(LHC not included), and I probably won't ever have to spend a dime again unless I want to go to the highest thing Maplestory has to fight(Pink Bean or Empress).
However, people have been getting banned for no reason(I have been banned for lagging(SERIOUSLY), thankfully it was only for a month, it is certainly not a good use of money to put effort into your character, then get perma-banned through Nexon's failure to secure their game.
Also, NX is now permanent for the first week it's released, so anything new (costumes) that are released are there forever, although I liked the old permanent system much better.
Also, don't listen to anyone who says the MTS can make you money. The phrase ''you have to spend money to make money'' plays a key role here, the only ways I have ever gained NX through the MTS is selling PAC's that were scrolled nicely, gotten massive stacks of scrolls(even this is no good anymore), or selling SCG's(or another attack glove to that effect). Be prepared to seriously waste a lot of un-needed time to actually get money in another way through this stupid, taxed-up-the-ass system.
There are still some things Maplestory is fun for, and your mileage will simply vary depending on your luck when taking Nx into consideration.
