Wow everything in that video was perfectly said and definitely applies to Maplestory in every way imaginable. Just like they basically said, when a company does this to much they are going to have to sacrifice their longevity and I feel that is exactly what Maplestory is doing. I mean classes can already hit 100mill damage these days now, how much further can you really expand it without players getting totally sick of the game if they already aren't (and you can notice Maplestory has been having some player-base loses here and there lately)
Players stick around in Maplestory because even though most of us knew what Nexon was doing (releasing pay2win items like cubes, shielding wards, among a BUNCH of others I am to lazy to list, as well as making new OP classes/nerfing them in an attempt to somehow combat this power creep) we continue to play because it's still manageable. Yeah so cubes and all those other haxy NX items dramatically altered the game, it was still a game (in my opinion) worth playing if you just play at your own pace. But after seeing something like Angelic Burster videos, for example, soloing Empress in less then 3 minutes it makes you think how much further they can go without losing their entire player base and in a sick twisted way I am almost excited to see Mapelstory completely crash and burn. I know that for a fact as soon as the Angelic Burster patch/Hyper Skills hits Global I will be quitting the Maple scene or at least servers including these patches if you catch my drift. I could tolerate the 'power creep' as they put it going on in the game before but at this point it's just way to ridiculous, I just wish Nexon would realize this.
