Non-Reboot & Reboot problems coexisting in Forums?
Reading the forums and the MapleStory Official Discord. There is this invisible line in the community. There are casual players and hardcore players but there is something that correlates with being casual or hardcore when it comes to server differences. Non-Reboot and Reboot.
First off, my views about this subject may be less light-hearted than players who really do care about these difference between servers. There have been topics about the 275 race, removing attack speed and other topics that do not even relate to some issues like for example; MapleStory dying or not and it keeps bringing the topic of server differences in place. The changes that were requested to be made by some of the server's player base may just be declined by another server's side because they may not understand the other side's game mechanics specific to them.
As a Non-Reboot player, I used to think Reboot was the easiest server to play in, listening to all the high profile players who spoke openly about Reboot. I would trash talk them in Discord and argue in the forums, but then I realized that I haven't tried to listen to what they were saying. They might have not understand Non-Reboot, but I didn't understand Reboot either. I met this one person who has played both Non-Reboot and Reboot, and as of now he's still playing in Reboot. He was not one of those people who rubbed salt in people's face about how which server has better population or gameplay. He wasn't one of those people who begged Nexon to make changes benefiting the players. He wasn't a casual player because he tried his best to do everything, getting 250, fighting Hard Lucid and Will, and most of all - being a kind Mapler.
To this realization, there was an extent where I was a bit mind-blocked about Reboot and Non-Reboot. I was invited by this person to a Reboot Guild discord, and at first I was expecting things like trashy people, people who hate Non-Reboot, and people that bot and hack. But it completely defied all my expectations. They were kind, welcoming, and did not care if I was a Non-Reboot player or not. I was seeing them playing MapleStory like happy Maplers who want to have a good time with others like normal people. Just the same as here in Non-Reboot. They weren't your casual players, but dedicated players having fun. None of them were active participants in the forums or the MapleStory Official Discord.
Changing my mind, I can see that most of the stereotypes we make about both servers: Reboot being dumb, Non-Reboot being 100% pay to win whales; Are in fact not true. We've only been listening to the minority of both servers that have people who want to discuss such topics. This brings me the question. Why can't Non-Reboot and Reboot coexist when it comes to gameplay related issues. This may also be included in other social platforms like Discord.
I'd love to hear your thoughts, and I will take my time in the Sleepywood's sauna. (Pay up your 499 mesos)
Sorry if you can't understand anything I said because my grammar is just hilariously bad LOOOOOOOOOOOL

Alao people being a jerk doesnt help at all, when u put a suggestiong people dont consider the differences , for example a reboot player may find hard something of the game and suggests an improvement but since non reboot players dont understand that issue since they dont play reboot, they inmediatelly reject the suggestion and the other way around.
