All the aspects of this game are too easy. Training, earning money, you name it. Many people act like training is hard. Really? It isn't. I used to get 5% per hour on my F/P mage, at level 70 . That is the same exp rate that I get, with 2x, on my I/L at 185. 2x cards used to be nonexistent. It took me like half a year to get to 70, back in 2006. Now you can get to 120 in 2 weeks. First 2x cards, and now 2x family buffs? Getting to 200 means nothing anymore. 4x exp, skele dungeon, etc. I could easily be 200. But, it isn't even an achievement anymore, why bother? You can even pay someone else to level your character for you. B>Leech anyone? You can go from 105 to 109 in 4 hours without even looking at the screen. Note: I completely support leeching, it isn't "wrong". I even sell leech myself. It is a perfectly legal way of leveling. I am not trying to say leeching is bad; I am only trying to make a point. Can't afford leech? Well, the next paragraph will take care of that. Making mesos is easy as well. It takes no skill to merchant. Buy low, sell high. Anyone can do it. Don't have NX for a shop? Buy a 8atk work glove in FM, put it in MTS. Buy a shop and you can now start merchanting. Earning mesos does not take any skill or US dollars. I should know. I've earned billions of mesos; it wasn't hard. Nexon should not take away 2x cards, etc. That really wouldn't solve anything. Instead, they should add more challenging aspects to the game. What do you think? I will try to respond to any well-written and logical arguments/questions. To everyone who "doesn't get it": I am not implying that all these things should be removed. It is perfectly fine that people can leech and level fast. However, Nexon should add something new, interesting, and challenging to the game, since all the other parts of this game are too easy.

Well, I like leveling fast, so yeah... Maplestory would get really boring if you don't lvl up. Games should be fun.

well, lvling too slow or too fast will make the game boring. :] yup. but it's the person choice? work on your own? or leech?

Training by myself is hard. I need a Priest.

I feel ya man, I'm not REALLY old but I was here since opening of Bello, (GENESIS DANA FTW) And i remember as a noob took me about a year to get to lvl 70. Now in my first day on a new character I make 2nd Job and move on to 60 b4 the week is over. Its ridiculous(sp?).

I think making the game easier is a good thing. Back in the day (I've played since beta on and off) starting off in maple was pretty hard. I'm not saying challenging starts aren't good but it was hard to get started meaning you would have to struggle more making it less fun. Even though the community was way better a few years ago, now it is easier to get started. As for challenging aspects, I think they did a pretty good job with CPQ, and the new CPQ v2 comming out who knows when. But I wouldn't mind a few more PvP competitions. (since we all know PvP will never come out in MS..)

I know how hard it is. I remember when being lvl. 50 was godly.

haha i think merchanting is the hardest thing ever spending hours just doing that for a game is stupid and i don't enought patience to put into a game i started out with 100mil and i ended up with 70mil and i quit after using my shop for like 3 days

Its easy for you but hard for me. Even with all the new training grounds ive barely made 1 lvl in the month. And the merching part i agree. Yet i dont understand Basil with the I need help merching threads like 4times a day. Its literally Buy low Sell high any item. Basil is like is there a specific item and everybody seems to go like GFA really Gfa doesnt make that much profit. Unless you get for super low.

You can't be horrible at buying low and selling high. That is common sense. Just get to know the prices of items; write them down or something. It doesn't take any skill to merchant. andyz said: "try killing pink bean?" It is mathematically impossible to solo pink bean. michaelish said: "Its easy for you but hard for me.

I got my F/P from 60 to 70 in around 5 hours. I don't see how you can be having a problem.
