And how exactly does maple need a story to be fun? Maplestory pre-big bang never had a story in any sense of the word and I found it to be many times more fun than the maple of now that DOES have some form of half-assed piece of crap story.

I disagree.
I've said this countless times. There's nothing wrong with post big bang maplestory, Majority of the changes was better that including the story. The greatest downside to maplestory now is the community and the sheer laziness in exlcusive and working content we have encountered from NexonNA since big bang.
