1. There is nothing wrong with aiming for better damage. But trying to chase other people's extremely high damage ranges and then saying the game isn't fun because you can't be higher than them is what I find bad.
2. Having a 300k+ range is not what a lot of people look for. People who have a 30k range would be very happy if they could upgrade to say a 40k range. Using real life money makes it a lot easier but it is not the only way. There are plenty of examples in maple, other games, even real life where money makes things easier but it is not the only way to achieve certain goals.
It does seem NX is the only way but it isn't. It just makes things a lot easier, but that's true pretty much everywhere. I understand how difficult raising 100mil can be for a lot of people, or even affording some "basic" gear like (chaos) zak helms. Right now if someone whispers me asking for a czak helm, I let them come and loot for free. After my charm is maxed in 2 weeks I'll advertise it even more. I don't need the helms and I'd rather give it to people who are struggling to get one. To me a czak helm is worthless and I just use it for charm and drop them. But to other people, it's an extremely nice gesture from a complete stranger on maple. Out of the people I've given to them already, they feel extremely grateful and I'm happy to help them obtain something that they believe they would never be able to afford. They also feel at ease potentialing it without fear of booming as I'll just get them another helm.
I make the game enjoyable for myself which lets me have fun. Things that happen in the game sometimes bother me but I make the best of things. As long as I make the game fun for myself I'll continue to play it. When I can't, then I'll quietly quit and find something else. The best thing I've found is for people to stop comparing themselves to others and play the game with their friends to have a good time.
