Maplestory's Community has much to be desired.

So today, I was switching channels looking for Headless Horsemens to kill. I found three, and solo'd two. The third one I found, I attacked it for probably about 1 minute before a Lv 120+ Hero came into the map and started ksing me. What made me really angry was I was looking for a Jack-O-Latern and the first two did not drop it after I killed them. When he killed it, the Jack-O-Latern dropped, he took it, and started to run away. I wanted to chase after him, trying to talk to him about why the heck he had to ks me for. However, it was a trap. He lured me into the Twisted Path, where he dragged a Bigfoot in front of the portal. The instant I entered, I died right away. I really think Maplestory's community is falling from previous years. I think this is due to Nexon letting more immature kids, (Ex: Change from 13+ years old to 10+ years old) into the game. As KSing is a form of harassment, and can result in a ban, people continually do it before they know that they can get away with it most of the time. I'm not saying that I didn't ks anyone before. We all did, but some of us do it accidently. This guy did not. He saw me killing the Horseman, did not ask my permission if I wanted help, and started to attack it. I am seriously disappointed at what Maplestory has become. I don't know if it's still worth my time playing this game or to take my time and do more productive things. I don't know anymore ...

It's been like this ever since Third Job came out. The second time I tried to solo a Mushmom (I was a little level Bandit in 2006) a brand new Dragon Knight and a just as new Hermit killed the Mushmom because that "stuff doesn't belong to dumb second jobbers". Big Foot and the Headless Horseman work the same way... especially in my server. It's the law of the jungle. I hate it... People told me I'd end up like that as well. So far they haven't been proven right.

Ah, it's Scania after all lol - it's full =(. I personally don't KS anyone's HH unless they initiate killing mine first. You know, if you still need a head, find me in game sometime if you stumble on a HH and I'll be able to kill it for you in time I hope! And about the BF thing? Yeah it's ridiculous. The more you try to avoid someone who's killing one, the harder they try to rush it into you. EDIT: @Above: I love your IGN :D. Don't quite know why, but it sounds amazing haha.

It means "King of Thieves" in Japanese and it it's the penultimate scouting name when PQing. :P I never had someone rushing a BF into me, by the way. However people who desired the map I was training in at Typhons always try to bring a mob of Typhons close to me so I'll be blown out of the map. The previous trainer being removed from the map is a legitimate excuse to take it over. How that person left the map does not matter. Luckily I have Dark Sight and know how to manouvre around the map better than most people.

[/quote] During the beginning of Maplestory, when Wizet was still in control, there was a lot of maturity instead of people arguing and fighting among themselves. Right now, you have people who just waltz into the map you're in and kill whatever they please. When you say "change channels please" they say that you don't own the map so technically you can't kick them out. While I do agree with this, that Nexon created the map generally through coding, I disagree with the fact that the player doesn't own the map. This is what I call 'player ownership' where whoever was in the map first has the right to its training facility, or whatever is offered in the map (party training, leeching). I am not saying that players own the map in a sense that they could change the structure coding, like scraping the entire map and making just a long flatland to make training easier than moving over a big map.
