GMS v111 - Back to the old Maple

of all the quests nexon could have unlocked, they choose to unlock the most dreaded and boring of all of them?

It might be a not-so-subtle "You guys sure everything was better pre-bb?"

With me, at least, it backfired.
I remember the cursed doll quest.
I remember doing it with the help of a Hunter friend, who trained there for a long time. That old Monkey Forest II map was perfect for him, he could stand on a safe platform and use Arrow Bomb to hit two or three platforms at a time. The new Zombie Lupin map has no rhyme or reason, just randomly placed platforms and spawn points, and nobody ever goes there.
My friend used to collect the dolls and sell them in MTS. Yeah, back then people would pay NX to complete quests. Can you believe that? Annoying quests that didn't give an overpowered equip (or the right to enter a coveted training spot) as reward. People still wanted to complete them, and were willing to pay real-world money for the quest items if they were too lazy to collect them themselves.
And then Nexon raised the MTS tax... and people decided that to hell with quests, we'll just grind.
Tell me, Nexon, how many new characters since Big Bang have done the Cursed Dolls quest, even after you made it so much easier (50, 70, 100, 150, 200)?

So yeah, even this dreaded and boring quest raises my nostalgia level.
