The fact that pretty much the main two ways to make money in Maple, now, are prostitution (Leeching) and scamming (Merchanting) proves there's something wrong. Maple's economy is now too dependent on these things. pineapple, every single one of these so-called "Services" directly undermines the game's purpose. Don't wanna level up? Buy some leech! Don't like your equips? Buy a slot in a Zakum run! Don't have the skills you need? Not to worry, some profiteer will come by soon enough and offer you a way to get it, for a nominal fee of course.

It's entirely down to game design... if these things are possible, people will pay for them. Zakum Helmets are available 50-60 levels before you can hunt one yourself... why not buy it? Horntail Pendants are available 30-40 levels before you could get one... why not buy it? They're still useful at the minimum level, there's just no way to get them yourself. And leeching is just a result of an insane leveling curve. When a level 80 gets 8 times more % per kill than a level 120, 35 times more than a level 150 the result is that if a level 120 can kill 2.5 times as fast as a level 80, the level 80 gets a higher exp rate. If the level 120 (as in the case of Mages) can get the same exp rate as the level 80, leeching is suddenly 3-4 times better than regular training.
