Reboot meso farming.

So I've been gone from maple for quite a while but the pathfinder looks interesting so I was wondering what meso farming is like now. My kanna has 100% drop equips and the meso leprechaun but it's lvl 198. I currently farm at twisted aqua road with rates at about 200m/H is this about right or am I doing something wrong?

    Ah, you didn't keep your kanna at 150 so you could do the Nexon (TM) suicide kanna technique where you get to 90% exp and suicide 9 times to stay at 150 to farm byebye station. Ah but be careful! Everyone knows Nexon (TM) game design has special hidden features so careful! If you die too fast you can get perma banned for breaking ToS!

    (it's against ToS to death abuse, farming byebye station over and over by death abusing is also the fastest way to gain mesos)

    There is no evidence to suggest that Nexon is actively banning people for using suicide Kanna's, there are a few people who've protested a ban, but we have no way to know how or why they were banned.

    Suicide Kanna is currently the fastest method for characters too low to farm productively on their main.

    However, there is a point where farming on your main (Arcana farming in particular) is both faster, and more beneficial (gaining levels on your main, while farming meso, and getting nodes and droplets which are needed for late game progression). So you should try to switch to farming on your main as soon as possible, but until that's feasible, a suicide kanna farming at bye bye station is one of the fastest lower level methods.

    I take it you wouldn't count screenshots of someone conversing with a GM to be suggestive evidence huh.

    That’s just... plain false. There’s more than enough proof that death abuse is being actively banned. GM’s have said more than once it’s not intended gameplay and is against the ToS. People have posted GM chat logs showing them saying that death abuse is bannable. Please don’t suggest Suicide Kanna to someone and get them banned.

    And yet hundreds if not thousands continue to suicide farm with no ban. And Nexon has not issued any warning to players to stop doing it.
    Contrary to popular belief, Nexon is not out to ban as many players as possible. If they for some reason decided that the current "meta" used by so many players is bannable, they'd announce it, to make people stop before they're banned.

    Yes, "death abuse is being actively banned". But "abuse" means, for example, repeated suicides faster than humanly possible. This means using hack tools to auto-die. Yes, that's bannable. Not because of the suicide but because of the hack tools.
    Now, they could be mistaken in their assessment of what is "humanly possible". It may be that they didn't take into account whatever clever Rebooters figured out regarding optimal maps and procedures for doing it. If that's the case, they'll need to investigate ban appeals until they find out what the fast-but-still-legit procedure is, and change their auto-ban to not trigger on it. But being mistaken does not mean it's intended to ban people just for repeatedly killing their characters.

    As for GM chat responses - unfortunately some GMs know very little about the game and have a very small list of possible responses they can give, which can be misunderstood. The subreddit is full of examples of GMs saying things that are patently false, on any number of topics. I would not take anything from a chat or even ticket response as official policy.
