2. In-game purchases, specifically Gachapon THAT’S LITERALLY GAMBLING, shame-on-you. (I'm interested in paid-subscription base and in-game achievements/rewards)

Gachapon is not that important. There is something to be said about gambling videogames but shoot at stuff that matters, like potentials which do affect progression being way too pay-to-win in normal servers.

3. Looting/pick-up system sucks. recommend Map looting/area-of-effect-looting. MUST HAVE/DEAL BREAKER.

Get a pet for that, takes money or being able to beat H.Hilla. There should be more sources of free pets however.

6. Profession veins sources have arrow key check. Recommended removed the arrow key check. 30% of the time I can't even see the key direction and miss the arrow check causing annoyance. I am not a bot

Yes they are meant for bots, doing the key chain once disables it for a while. I do agree that the visibility should be better, whatever textures they use need to be reverted to the old ones. There is something to be said about how the key checks have no impact on bot population though, we need real solutions, not second hand band-aids.

9. Skills/Stat buff only last 180sec. What the heck. Sarcastic: I only play maplestory 180 seconds at a time. Recommend skill buff 15 minutes.

That would defeat the purpose of buffs. In every other MMO buffs are temporal and have a cooldown, its part of the genre.

10. Majority of Cash shop equipment items are 90-days or less. What the Heck. I’m not interested in leasing.

Being a free to play game there has to be a way to earn money. I don't agree with timed cosmetics but there are ways around it like Premium Surprise Boxes. We need to get the monthly $1 deals in perm-NX back and Pets should be permanent again though.

Won't happen since the Bera immigration chaos that happened last time. Elysium its ok to be honest, being a player in that server, blame the current damages from the recent patch and the fact its October for the low population.

I'm not surprised. Rather than fixing the quests or advertising them more they instead decided to remove them altogether like everything else that causes them problems. Who knows if they'll come back anytime at all.

We might. We have gotten the Sakura Card Captor, Evangelion, Attack on Titan and Sword Art Online events in the past, chances are we are getting this too.

I believe there is another boss after Tengu with a much longer sequence, after which you do get the Wings of Fate. Unless you have already done said boss and nothing came out of it.
