Agree. Nexon should make Zakum spawn by clicking the altar instead to solve this problem. Getting the Eye of Fire every time to fight Zakum doesn't make any sense anyway since the prequests aren't required now.
Same with Papulatus, it just gives you the cracked piece now.
If they absolutely want to keep these items as a requirement to enter then they could have them be consumed upon clicking the altar/crack to summon.

Getting to 250 is not a challenge at all. They've cut down the exp for several level ranges already and we have a buttload of EXP multipliers and additives. Getting 250 now is arguably easier than it was getting 130 back then. If anything has changed it's your circumstances. Maybe you don't have as much time or drive as you did when you were younger.
Getting past 220 is extremely easy now that we have the arcane areas.

The feeling of achievement comes from the effort you put in to reach a goal. Not how frequently you reach goals. We even have actual achievements to collect now. We have lots of bosses at various levels of funding. New node goals and arcane symbol goals.

You even hear some people complain that the game is too easy now in comparison to pre-BB. In my opinion it's just that we have more options now.
But if you liked pre-BB grinding then you should really love 250+ grinding.

What's the real reason you're struggling to get past those early levels?

Test server accomplished nothing last time it was around. Half the issues people found made it into live anyway.

And you know damn well if they take the game down for a week(which btw is a stupid-ass idea to begin with) people will whine and cry and piss and moan about how long the game is down for.

Absolutely agree. In addition to issues not getting fixed when they were reported, players also neglected to report exploitable bugs in order to take advantage of them in the live server.
Opening up a test server is great in theory, but Nexon has to be more involved for that to work, and they haven't been even remotely ready to take it on in the past, leading to further disappointment by the players who actually invested time and energy into finding and reporting bugs. They don't even keep up with recurring GMS bugs and possible KMS issues before copy-pasting.

It wouldn't be a good decision for Nexon to bring the game down for a week either, giving people a chance to move on to other games and possibly not come back. A week in internet time is an eternity.
And would we have to shut the game down for a week every time there's a non-KMS patch or any patch that presents problems that can't be fixed within a work day? That's way less sustainable than what they're doing now.

Nexon adding pic to storage has defeated me
I have no desire to play the game anymore because of this

That's a bit dramatic. It's a couple more clicks, just like with nodes. Annoying? Mildly. Worth quitting over? No.
But you choose the hill you want to die on I guess.

By reading your post I can tell that you're trying to soften this matter.

Why are there always a few people like you who are always on Nexon's side? he's definitely right.
I also find it really annoying because it's not just "a couple more clicks", it's a couple more clicks that we must do 100 times every single day.... I also quit because of this change.
Even if it's "just a couple more clicks", once you have to do it a lot of times everyday, it's became really painful and extremely annoying.

There is really no need to soften this extremely important matter at all.

Oh, I am definitely not always on Nexon's side. But throwing a tantrum and saying it has DEFEATED him and torn all the desire to play out of him is absolutely an overreaction to something as small as this.
Again, you choose which hill you want to die on. I think you're just going to have to get over it, like everyone else. The pin exists to protect players items if they are on a public or shared computer (more commonly net cafes in kms).

"you want to die on", first of all, quitting isn't a horrible "die" as you trying to picture.
"I think you're just going to have to get over it", nexon must do as the majority says, because without us, there is no maplestory.
to be honest, nexon can easily stay with that bank pic thingy but they're totally going to lose some players and guess what? I am one of them.

bye.

Choosing a hill to die on is an idiom, similar meaning to picking your battles wisely. As in; if you think this incredibly small issue by comparison is worth quitting over, then that is the very small and insignificant hill you've chosen you die on, figuratively. That's the basket you've put all your eggs in, etc etc
I'm saying you should prioritize better and react proportionally.
But bye, see you in 2 weeks when you realize it wasn't worth the fuss after all.

They're aware. You gotta make a ticket.
