It does matter, like it has been said in the past, UTC is not and will never be a globe concept for time, that is impossible for Earth, as it will always be inconvenient for someone and right now it is inconvenient for most of the players that play the game. A lot of stuff is not 24 hours, and used to match up with when people the Americas go to work, right now with the UTC people actually almost miss a lot of events. So having a US Time Zone for the US, Canada and all makes sense as this is where most of the people come from.

Coordinated Universal Time (or UTC) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time

You still get 24 hours to do whatever. It doesn't matter what time the reset is at. You need to change your mindset.
If you play MapleStory for 3 hours and the reset happens during the first hour.
You play MapleStory another 3 hours the next day and the reset happens in the first hour again.
You still got 3 hours on each day. If your schedule is changing on the day to day, that's not Nexon's fault.
If the reset time is changed, don't you think that'll inconvenience people as well?

Regardless of whatever time the reset happens at, if your schedule doesn't change, you get the same amount of time each day.
If your schedule does change, that is not Nexon's fault.

UTC is best though. Honestly this is one concept that globalization has right on every level.
Why do time zones even need to exist at all?
Does the sun care if it comes up at 3PM or 6AM? Does your body? (Hint: No, it doesn't.)
Time zones and DST change absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things.
As plenty of people have mentioned in the past, the reset time doesn't matter either.
No matter if it changes at Midnight PST or Midnight UTC, you still get a full 24 hours to do whatever.

As Wonderguy said, try the game for yourself. Just don't spend any money on the game until you've given it a fair chance.
I've asked plenty of people to play who drop in 10~50 dollars only to quit a week later.
Play a few characters up to 120 or so, long enough to unlock legion and a few link skills.
Once you've done that you make a better decision for yourself.

I personally think the story alone makes the game worth playing, but only if you care for that kind of thing.
While you could play a single player game with a top of the line story, those don't last as long as an MMO does.
I prefer the extremely slow story model for MapleStory as it allows you to develop better attachment to things.

Make sure to read what Rexaar had to say as well. I would ignore the "nah" and "yeah" posts that didn't give legitimate reasons.
There are plenty of reasons to play or not to play the game. But it's best if they're actually explained to you.

While we're at it, can these items be added to reboot's shop?
It's looking a little empty.

I already said the reason I'm still playing is because I spent a lot of money and I have people online I can socialize with. If even one of these two reasons don't exist, I would quit the game completely.
And I just love "y u play if u dont like it" logic. If u play a game, then it must mean u love it and can only say positive things about it, right? The game has just enough to keep me from quitting completely (although my playtime is down to one tenth of what I used to play). Doesn't mean it's, in any way, a good game that I can't criticize.

Talk to these people outside of the game. Multiple chat programs exist that most gamers use.
As for money, just accept it as gone.
As for negative/positive things about the game... Yes, I have plenty of negative opinions about the game and the way it's managed.
But I don't post about only what I perceive as negative. When the context calls for it, I'll post about it.

The dude literally asked for the state of the game, and I gave him my honest opinion.

Sure. But as the VFM pointed out, this is basically all your posts. Just because one worked in context doesn't mean the others were called for.
You already covered what needed to be said in the first post. The second post was uncalled for.

Don't tell me not to have negative opinion of MS just because YOU enjoy the game. There are plenty of others who don't.

If you have a negative opinion of the game without much positive, don't play it. Simple as that.
If you want the game to improve however, you need to give constructive criticism that isn't just FUD.

Did they start working to improve the state of the game? No, they stayed as incompetent as ever and new waves of players simply left after event ended

Actually they did. Maple Memos where devs are trying to be more transparent with Maplers picked up. They hired about 100 new staff.
They swapped their CMS again in hopes of doing better. They finally brought over the Korean CS. They gave an item to try to stomp out Kishin meta.
Fact is, Nexon actually IS trying to improve GMS.

As for the "Maple needs new players to stay alive" type comment I made, this is true of all MMOs.
They cannot survive without new players to replace any who quit. You seem to be trying to stop any and all new players from joining.

Again, if you don't like the game. Stop. Playing. To continue to play is to continue to torture yourself.
IE: Stockholm Syndrome.
