Those who were the strongest prepotential and haven't quit along the way are probably still in the top percentage. And you cannot compare PvP to PvE, balancing PvP is 10x easier then PvE. Maplestory doesn't suffer from powercreep, you can still do nearly any boss with prepotential or gear you find. The only bosses you can't do are the ones which you can make a profit on because the only people who kill it spent $1000s on a game. Nexon's problem comes from greed and giving power to those who buy it. You can grind events or merch your way up to the plateau where you can kill bosses for a profit but someone can do what would take you in a year with a paycheck.
I'm not saying that the top percent from the before time isn't still in the top percent, but honestly? I find it a bit unlikely until I see some pretty substantial evidence.
And sure you can kill most bosses that you can't make a profit on, but are there really many other bosses worth killing in game at this point? Zak and maybe HT you can solo without funds but it's a tough call.
I still feel like there's a point in MapleStory where there is just so little you can do with in-game currency. I'm not saying it's impossible, it's just tedious to the point of ridicule.
