I hear ya man but what can ya do =\ I've been incredibly fortunate enough to have established a very strong guild who's very against it. Are there some who will do this and abuse it? Of course. However what makes me happy is knowing the "big names" of the guild are really trying hard to be -legit-. Yeah it's a stretch and at one point you can say everyone has "turned to the dark side" just to try it. My faith in the overall community has long since died. But, my faith in my guilds community is still strong. Maybe it's because everyone at the top of the guild stretches how bad it is to do that, maybe its because we push so hard to make sure it doesn't happen. I'm happy with the community I've built through my guild in the past 4 years and what makes me keep playing is these people. throughout the 4 years(almost 5!) I've lead the guild about 30% have stuck in for the long haul. It's really awesome when you build a family like that and its people you know you can count on. I love MapleStory and always will, it's been a HUGE part of my life since I started back in 6th grade. I've shed tears of sadness and happiness over it. I've made some of the best friends I could have ever made, I've met the love of my life. To me the community is long dead within maplestory, but the family I've created within my guild is stronger then ever.
