EDIT: 24-Watching-Nub: The following was written between 8am PST to 12pm PST High on sleep-dep. Low on sleep... wait.. I said... twice... *mumbles turn to gribberish...* Assistant: House, this person is clearly having problems focusing, exhibiting darkness under his eyes, swaggering posture, and occasional BIG yawns. Doctor: What are you an idiot? Pop him a sleeping pill and we'll be done with this kid. That other thread made me want Oreos... Mmm... oreos... BLAH! *shakes head* Anyways... well, everyone's finally freaking out... *Notices random basiler* "ZOMG, APPLES GOING UP" Noticing how North America is like, I'm not very surprised. *Looks to another guy* "OMG, GLOVE SCROLLS... NOOOO!" EDIT: Oiii, noobs telling me to "suck it up," I'm answering the majority here. So you get with it, and learn what everyone else is concerned about. Or... quit, that works too. :D There were 3 basic issues everyone's wailing over... 1. Rude/Mean community. Why isn't there any nice or kind people anymore? 2. Inflation... Everything's going up up up. Someone help! 3. So many High levels... Leech. Why does everyone have to leech? What happened to training? 1. Summary Q: WHY EVERYONE SO MEAN? We live in North America... Most of the Maplers are kids from USA with wealthy parents, and nothing to do. Now... Who here would dare to say all of those kids, among others would be "nice" behind closed doors? People have been noticeably more open with their true nature online , due to the internet effect of feel untouchable and fully in control. Say you're playing a video game... Umm... Pokemon. You team dies... You reset the game, and start over... You die again. Okay... (friend's idea) Trade in your friend's pro pokemon. "I don't like your mudkipz! Go, Hyper Beam!" Cheap... There's just as many psychotic quiet noobs as there are loud bullies in school. Actually, by studies, there are more. There was a doc called "I, Psychopath" or something like that. Fun fun fun... Kids would act like that cause they feel nothing will happen to them. They don't feel threatened. They just see a an animation, and they know it can't see them. Conclusively: Take a unsympathetic inner-psychopath-waiting-to-happen kid to a surreal and stimulating cyber environment (an online game). Now, he's not gonna start killing people. He can't... Not maple anyway. (:D) but he's hooked by the game already... So... He'll do the next best thing, HARRASS! BULLY! KS THE FUDGE OUT OF EVERYONE. And laugh in the aftermath... Good times. :3 Solution: NOTHING! :D Theoretically, it is impossible to reform jerks through the internet, because they carry no real feelings for us, and will not listen to a word we say. If you wanna fix this, start getting into government work, social services, or school education. 2. Summary Q: INFLATION! NOO! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE! Hmm... Now, in case your brains already dropped what the last section told you. WE LIVE IN NORTH AMERICA. Now, what's our economy based on? ... *5min later* Cmon...

You know, he does have a point...but when it comes down to it....it's just a game people!why get so worked up over it?i'm sure you can still have fun in the game even with these problems. if these problems are really ruining your maple experience, a good idea would be to quit playing and find a new game.

I agree with all of your points except the last one, The last one is biased seeing as you are they type of person that does not want leeching to exist, I do not leech, But I also don't think theres anything wrong with it, Whats your plan? Getting the % pots removed? That takes out about 75% of the maple populations training potions.

The way to solve the inflation problem is to not buy the item at inflated prices. If everyone would stop buying at the inflated price, the merchants will make nothing and will be forced to sell at a lower price that people would pay for.

No blaming it on summer? School's out, some kids are getting jobs to buy more NX, and more people are playing. To me, summer always meant inflation in Maplestory. So I buy what I need in the wintertime -3- I understand your point against leeching but those pots aren't going to stop those Bigfoot/Anego leechers; why only target us mages?

By the way, I'm still waiting for your next rebuttal. Your last rebuttal was quite weak, and poked at small details, while the actual point of my sentences flew right over your head. You tried to make them sound stupid by making yourself sound stupid. Nice going. Oh, and your point about Onyx Apples being inflated to drive Horntailers crazy? Completely false. In truth, a few hundred Onyx Apples were taken from Bera to another server (Mardia) I think, by an infamous person.

So you sir, failed on explainning the chaos of the community." >.< Did you read anything he said? Guilds can hoard things other than apples you know. Plus, yes, there are nice people, but there are a lot of mean people too. It's impossible to have a world completely full of bad people, you know. There's still gonna be some good people (even if it's not very many). Plus, the problem he was talking about was leeching , so no duh leeching is the problem, unless you're talking about something else. If what he said about KMS is true, I think the NLC thing is also true. Either that or people in GMS are just stupid rich kids xD You fail at reading the post. EDIT: @AnasF: I got everything he said, and I think this is a brilliant thread. I agree with all his theories :D

Whats the point of this thread? in fact whats the point of any thread created to discuss maple inflation/leeching/rudeness? i mean ranting about it is not like gonna change anything in maple is it? (think about it) i am leaving this thread with 1 last note. Thread Starter, Its a GAME G-A-M-E Definition: To rejoice; to be pleased; often used, in Old English, impersonally with dative. (added note by me) NOT TO DIE OVER@@@

Ok, first of all, I seriously love the way you write posts. And I actually read it all. It is humoristic yet constructive. Second of all, you have a point, but the fact that Mesosellingsites are throwing away their mesos is a factor too. EDIT:: And to the poster above me, It is not a rant. It is an explanation for things people keep whining about over and over again.

vi11 07/06/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

Hmm, why do people really care about leech? I mean, it's there money, if I were rich i would leech too, its just another way of leveling rather then training themselves. And that comment you said about earlier, about it ruining about the original design of the game, can you please explain to me, what is really the original design in the game? Did nexon, or whomever put in, the exp share, not put that on purpose? Or was it an accident?

I like the satirical and sarcastic spin you put on the information. Kay, now that the nice comment is out of the way, time to sound like a jerk in the eyes of some. I know that the community isn't exactly endearing to anybody, but this just stems from human nature more than a kid being rich and bored and evil. Its hard to feel anything for a complete stranger, such as low levels that high levels would KS in Henesey. Now, if some kind of friendship and bond is formed, then they'd be less 'jerkish'. Just like real life, people who are just plain evil will be jerks to people that they don't have any connection to. The inflation section just rubs me the wrong way because of the growing belief in the world that gigantic monopolies and corporations are evil and need to be destroyed. True, merchanting guilds do drive prices up and can cause some trouble, but I don't that we can begrudge someone who found a way to make money for himself just because we can't become a part of it/make the same as them. The leeching...okay, I can't really say anything about that. I just don't like it because it plays the 'everyone only cares about the rich' card which I'm sick of here. I apologize if I sound like a troll and if I missed the point entirely, but if the best that we can do to fix things is to do nothing at all, then we should just hold on and hope for the best. And we all know that NEXON would never get rid of NLC or put a potion cap on...I think.
