As much time as they take, they always extend cash items expiration date, so besides that, there's no time limit to finishing anything in maplestory, it's an ever going game with no finish, what's the rush to get back into it? the content will be there. If any compensation will be given, and they usually give when it exceeds a reasonable amount of time.
Non-cash items can expire as well.
Profession mastery decays.
And they keep making events where you have to participate every single day for the best rewards - and can't make up a lost day later. And the participation can take hours. 2000 kills, or 10,000 rocket points, or 100 leaves, or...
I don't know how you can possibly say that "there's no time limit to finishing anything in maplestory". It may be true for normal content, but it's definitely not true for events.
They've coded the game to make sure people feel pressured to play whenever possible. And then they wonder why we get upset at extended downtime?
It takes me only 5 runs in dipq to get 10k points, it doesnt take more than 30 minutes to defeat 2000 monsters. as for mastery, thats collateral damage, however not a major loss
I like how you ignored the 100 leaves, which require 4 "rain showers", so at least 3 hours.
And just because it's quick for you doesn't mean it's quick for everyone. Nor does everyone have 24 hours a day free to Maple.(less)
I only mentioned the ones i do, you dont need 24 hours to do the rocket booster or attendance. It's not the end of the world even if you miss a day. I missed V patch event and I didnt complain.
lets break this down, 3 hours for leaves if maintenance ends exactly at 12 +- a few minutes, plus +- 30 minutes of attendance, and another +- 30 minutes for dipq for booster points, youll finish by reset if youre competent. I dont think anyone that even has 24 hours day free plays for 24 hours.
they seem to be able to hide their ign from being reported, i tried reporting one in one instance and an ign off my buddy list appeared instead of the hacker. theyre most probably using a … (more)new tool that bypasses the reporting function (less)
