Just remove gender flags entirely. Marriage too while we're at it. There's no point in this.

No the truth is (LIKELY) that they just want to slow down progress wherever possible. What's my source you might wonder? Just look at every change they've done since V came out. It's always changes to make everything take longer instead of just giving us more things to do.

Except you know, that that's not true. They've reduced the EXP curve several times while also adding more dailies and plenty of more content.
No, 250->275 isn't easy. Yes, reboot has it easier due to certain things. But this is most likely because KMS doesn't care about Reboot so it doesn't get noticed.
Getting more players from 1-200 and then from 200-250 should be Nexon's main goal, as that's where the majority of the content is located.
Which is exactly what they've been doing recently. There are way more important issues to focus on than the 250+ players who can't hit 275.
275 should still be a dream that only a small number of players can obtain, after all, Maple doesn't actually have much going for it outside of bossing and leveling up.

Once 275 actually has content that's worthwhile, they'll probably remove that restriction. Until then, they're probably trying to keep 275 as a long term goal for players.
The whole point of the level cap increase is to give players who already hit 250 and don't care about other characters something to do.
I would say that the 2x wouldn't matter that much in Korea, but over here where they stack differently (afaik) it would.
What sounds more appealing to a company that is trying to keep their game alive?
There is logic behind the reasoning, regardless of if it good or not. Only Nexon has the raw data on this.

i dont think hacker make profit maybe few of them but most just want it dead anyway it dosnt matter it wont happend like i said maplestory wont die

As I and others pointed out, hackers don't want the game to die. They either profit off of it, have fun with hacking, or are trying to get some quick progression in the game.
None of these people want the game to die.

am not sure at what stage nexon are now but like they are trying to sell the company then fail then try to open other games and focus on them fail a bit aswell and so on

It was the founder who was trying to sell his majority stake in the controlling company. What this means is that ONE PERSON was trying to sell HIS SHARE of Nexon.
The "one person" just happened to be the founder and held onto most of his stocks making it his company. Look into the rule of 51%.
He also most likely was trying to sell it because he has a history of getting into legal trouble and he probably either wanted out of the business, or to pay off some untold debt.
Eitherway, It had barely anything to do with Nexon itself and more to do with the personal life of one person.

also they close regions /servers of MS
maplestory is #1 thats why it wont die just suffer from bad care

Just because certain regions close doesn't mean MS is in any trouble at all.
There are plenty of exclusive games to certain regions that are extremely popular that never catch on in other markets.
MapleStory (and MMOs in general) are this type of genre.
The bad care thing you might be right about though.

combat arms did same suffered intense pain for long time untill
A: nexon gave it to other team (kinda late but works as we wanted and its full f2p and far less bugs/server issues)
B :market got new improved modern FPS alternatives to play

same with maplestory it wont die.
A: nexonNA starts work on it and listen players
B: other company will start listen players (i dont think nexon will go that bad like : we are closeing but we wont give the rights to other company)
C: in worst case nexon refuse all that maplestory MMORPG alternative will show (yes KMS and CMS is doing good even after bad changes lately so this C wont happend any time soon)

Technically this already happened since Nexon of America no longer develops GMS. As far as a MapleStory Alternative, we're 15+ years in and still waiting.

When I suggested an overhaul should be considered for MVP, this isn't what I meant Nexon.
The idea was to make MVP more useful and accessible for common folk, not raise the bar and make it even more pay to win.
They even used the idea of extra channels to make this new system "worth it." I trust KMS fanbase to pushback against this, hopefully Nexon won't ignore them.

creditcard,phone,ip,computer type/system,linked social media accounts... and so much more data they take/got that can makeup for SSN or get close to it

Creditcard is obviously going to be a little bit more sensitive. Phone, IP, Computer Type, Social Media are all handed out like candy these days and come nowhere NEAR the compromising power that giving someone your SSN does.
You can't steal someone's identity based on their name and IP address alone.
