I'm a longtime Maplestory player, I have a level 275 character on Reboot and i quit this game.
Since i dont care about normal servers this is only gonna take Reboot into consideration.

So why did i quit this game and why am i making this post?
Maplestory have been going the wrong way for a long time, and after reading all of these maplememos seeing the ignorance from Nexon just makes me annoyed.
Nexon have been making it harder and harder for people to even play this game.
After reading the latest memo and seeing how Nexon prefers to ban people who die instead of fixing the game i felt i had to make this post.

First of i would like to clarify to Nexon what is currently required from a player to play this game on a decent level.
You have to first of put in EXTREME amounts of time to level up not only one but several characters since you need legion aswell.
The normal is to get to level 6k legion and 250+ main.
During this time you actually get very little meso, and that meso needs to be spent to make your char strong enough to farm properly and also to make droprate / meso gear.
When you are finally at the point of having 6k legion and a geared main, youre gonna have to make it stronger. You need to spend billions, just to make your main strong enough to kill bosses.
After you kill all the relevant bosses(lucid will lotus dam) on normal you need to start gearing for hard modes.
The current best gear ingame is the Arcane set, getting just one of these requires 160 droplets, wich is about 160 hours of farming in Arcana AFTER you have full dropgear.
To get full Arcane set you need 880 droplets, about 880 hours of farming in Arcana and Esfera AFTER getting your droprate gear.

So whats the problem?
In those 880 hours of farming you will be getting experience, alot of experience.
You will outlevel the areas and meso will stop dropping.

Alot of people will try to starforce their gear to get stronger, and will possibly boom them, this means they have to farm 160/240 droplets AGAIN. While now being level 270.
And since you, Nexon, arent allowing suicide kannas, they have to either do this without getting meso at the same time, or play another character wich they also have to get dropgear/meso gear on, and since suiciding isnt allowed, multiple characters to 250+ just to be able to get another arcane piece.

What happens when a player has full 40x 250 and still havent successfully 22 starred his arcane gear? Is he supposed to be removing his lvl 250 characters just so he can farm again?

And its even worse for people who are new, since they have a harder and harder time to catchup.

What happened to wondroid?
When will we finally know about sengoku badge?
When will you do something about 2 pc meta?

How many more stupid things are you gonna do to this game before making one good change?

So after this revamp i have been doing some testing, or trying to since constant dcs.

Current obvious bugs i noticed:
-Haku buff doesnt give magic attack.
-Doing nine tailed fox have dcd me every time when i have all buffs up and trying to do 40s tests.
-Random dcs trying to farm, unsure what abilities.
-Hyper stat Mana doesnt affect Kanna

Different issues i think should be looked at:
-Vanquisher charm is completely useless, it deals less damage than shikigami haunting, it costs so much and its only use is to stack domain.
-Summons dealing very little damage (this has been reported by others as being some "old" damage formula)
-Haku buff is now on cd making it unable to be put in buff macros
-Mana Overload hp cost.¨
-After using Tengu you have two messages in chat for left and right disappearing, as if Kannas didnt have enough spam in chat already.

There is also another thing i noticed:
Spamming, or possibly with sticky keys, Alt Gr, or whatever, doing tengu strike and shikigami haunting at the same time will if you stand on top of your target so both hits deal way more damage than just doing shikigami haunting.
Since tengu strike also has a cost and shikigami haunting puts the puddles on the ground you can constantly do this (you still have to move to keep attacking) you can stack domain and the new doll this way to.
Doing it this way my 40s BA increased from 3.2t prepatch to about 4t without haku buff working or ninetail fox buff on.
Comparing Shiki haunting only vs Tengu + Shiki haunting in 10s i did 297b with Haunting and 436b with Tengu aswell using Alt Gr.

My questions for Nexon are the following:
-When are you going to fix the current bugs?
-What is the intended way of dealing damage on Kanna post revamp?
-Is what we have on GMS the final version or will we have it changed anytime soon (i think the tengu trick will work on JMS aswell and their Haunting damage and DPM is insanely much higher than current GMS)
-Is the Tengu strike thing mentioned above an oversight or is it intended?
