That's absolute bunk.
Armies tend to operate via recruiting, not hereditary requirement.

I know the resistance fights the black wings in their town to drive them out, but my point by mentioning them was the cygnus knights have been on it since the first battle, for which they should be more important.Again,
"There's no reason that expanding on their history requires Nexon to expand on their usability or even alter the Knights at all. See: LHC and Phantom."
The entire point of the stories I've mentioned earlier is that the time of relying on the Cygnus Knights is in the past. Dead. Gone. Over.
They were important. They no longer serve the same level of importance.
Hell, despite Cygnus being called the Queen of the Maple World, there have been absolutely no signs that the title wields any universal power.
If anything, it's contradicted by the fact that several other monarchs exists within Cygnus' implied realm.

Actually, with all the upgrades to jobs since chaos, all jobs are easy to level up. That's the main reason why Cygnus knights have been forsaken, why taking an easy job that's actually harder than the majority of the other current jobs, with cloned skills and is limited by an early cap? It doesn't take a new to maple player to reach high lvls fast, just an experienced in MMO's one.New players are unlikely to have the knowledge base nor the motivation to bother rushing to 4th Job in one day.
Despite strides towards in-game guides, Maplestory is still very much reliant on knowing where to look for the information one needs.
Yes, all jobs are easy to level up.
Cygnus are even easier to level up than most jobs.
Clearly, the concept of a relative scale is lost on you. It's very frustrating and disappointing to see that so many people's understanding of things is limited to a black and white view.
Cygnus Knights have not been forsaken. They've been updated several times.
The benefits from getting one to 120 have been increased multiple times. To say otherwise is to be telling blatant lies.
Cygnus Knights have cloned skills for a reason.
They also get most of these skills earlier than their counterparts.
Again, easy mode.
I'll never understand how anyone could not see the idiocy inherent with requesting that the 120 cap be removed and these classes be given a 4th Job. It would essentially render Heroes, Assassins, Buccaneers, F/P Mages, and Bowmasters entirely moot.
