MapleStory's Future

The game was pretty much still devoloping then, I mean horntail was the big shot. There were a lot of improvements, including an increase of damage gap, new classes, new areas, essentially patching over all the damage. I mean it was gamebreaking back then, but with something like potential, any groundbreaking equipment was replaced in a matter of days. There isn't as much, if not any room for a repeatable upgrade that would make something..as broken as 27 attack shoes be a social norm, or 26 attack gloves. I mean to make another upgrade like that would make any item obsolete currently.

Unfortunately this is probably going to inevidently happen, which is just the same recycling process.

The only thing they can do is either make potential way easier to get (like what they did with PQ items in KMS, where it has a way higher chance of revealing unique), or make scrolls that give %stat.
