[MENTION=6713]FreeNoods[/MENTION] I'll explain to you why this game is broken in my point of view.
In most MMORPGs, the idea of getting the virtual currency (in this case, mesos), is supposed to be achievable by hunting things (bosses or monsters) for drops. The highest level you are, the more valuable are the drops you can get. Therefore, the virtual currency is like experience. The more time you spend getting it, the more powerful your character gets. There is also always the option of merchanting, but I'll talk about that later.
The problem with MapleStory is, no matter how many times you hunt. Bots and dupers will always have the upper hand on this currency. With so much mesos into the game as of now, and the actions of said hackers which deflate everything(I.E.: pieces of time) to a close to zero point. All of your efforts will be for nothing.
So.. how to get money? There is also the option of merchanting mesos, which is incredibly hard because of dupers and the crappy free market system, or merchanting the MTS to get nx, which is really hard now because of, again, the dupers.
TL;DR: The only way to get more powerful now is to pay IRL money, dupe or bot. This is why, if I ever come back to Maple, I will disregard the damage aspect of the game and focus on having fun. I just can't bother anymore.
