Worth coming back to Maplestory?
haven't played in forever but i played a long time ago up until big bang then quit. the thing that i don't like about this game is last time i played all i did was solo grind for hours to level up and the end game was just as boring all people did were solo bosses. i also dislike the star planet place really not sure why they put that in the game. just wondering though is it worth playing again? im looking to NOT solo grind at higher levels.
also is there a list of what classes currently have the highest DPM/DPS or do they change too frequently now. WH was top i believe but with new patch idk how that works.

The solo grind you mentioned will be greater than it was before, as it will be much easier to solo literally every boss except one(the new Lucid boss which is only available to the top 0.05% of the population). Training to 200 will be much easier, meaning more solo training since training in a party will slow you down. And if you plan to train after that, you will need more funding which of course requires you to buy nx and fund your character.
Nexon has promised to reduce the p2w(pay 2 win) aspect of the game but has fallen short of reaching their actual goal. They still have way too many shady marketing schemes, they do not take into consideration user-submitted ideas to help improve the economy, and hackers still dominate the free market.
As for the top dps list, I do not know where I can find a reliable one but it won't matter since almost all of them use classes that are fully funded. Which will probably cost you more than $5,000. I hope my reply helped.
I still think the game is better to join it than much other times, they are still trying to reduce the pay2win in the game, but still a major part of the game, you could join reboot if you don't want to go to the pay2win worlds.
About the solo grinding thing, it's said that party quests rewards are going to be improved, so it might reduce the ammount of solo grinding. They even released a PQ for 210+ on Chu Chu Island, so it's a pretty big step. Also, about the highest DPS/DPM classes, i don't think you should worry about it. You should pick something that's fun.
If they're satisfied churning out substandard untested content then I'm satisfied not giving them my money. Give it a shot but just be wary and don't be like me and give them your money right away.

i really wish it was like Old MS in the sense you were forced to do PQ's to level. i also work during the weekends so i doubt i will be able to make any free 2x events
All my friends seem to play some of the top DPM classes like Aran or Battle Mage though, so it kinda feels crappy sometimes since my fave class to play is a Paladin. But you get used to hitting low lol.
