I think there is nothing wrong with spending your remaining money on MapleStory, after you paid the bills, charitable donations and stuff like that.
I really don't find anything wrong with it, if you're having fun.
I know people who spent well over $8,000 on MapleStory.

I spent about roughly 500-600 a year, when I was most active on MS. But that was 2 years ago. Now I spend 0. Because I quit. That and I realized how much the game sucked.

Hm, what do you spend extra money on in those games? Didn't know they had micro-transactions in addition to their monthly charges.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.

I want to say currency buying...but even that's a stretch.

I think people spend too much money in general.

Heh, out of 2 years (Which is currently how long i've been playing), I've bought about $300 ~ $500 total NX. Somewhat more then the total amount of a Pay2Play game.

Game Currency, Account purchases, Item purchases. People purchase WAY more on the more popular MMORPG (WoW), regardless of the monthly fee just being $15.
Some accounts will be bought for more then $5000, depending on the equipment, and if it's a decked out (decked = godly in WoW) character, it will go for that much.

QFT.
I've spent a little over 100, maybe 200 in the couple of years that I've been playing this game. My hobbies usually cost a few hundred per year, and so I "technically" saved my money.
Sheesh you people spend a lot of money.

Gold/Items
Ive been selling gold for World of Warcraft and other games for over 10 years now and I have quite a few loyal customers that spend over $25k/yr on games. I dont sell accounts/gear either... I bet a few of those guys can spend $100k in a year.

Because I find single stat classes stupid when the game was specifically designed for secondary stats.
Covering myself in NX clothes to hide the fact I was trapped wearing nub-gear 150 levels below me was pretty stupid sounding too, when I could do it right and wear whatever I wanted.
When both ways were equally capable of 1HKO 99% of the games' mobs it just didn't seem worth it to jump on the "luckless" bandwagon. I still made the #5 slot for Mardia, so clearly it wasn't that big of a disadvantage, and let's face it - Being luckless wouldn't make an archmage any more wanted or useful for the most part, except those brief points where it makes a difference between 1hko and 2hko.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
