I Agree with this. It was fine before and you could easily pick which animal you wanted.
I'm sure the change was done to prevent people from accidentally moving when they didn't want to, but honestly it wasn't that big of an issue.
If they really wanted to fix that they could have put it on Up/Down since it's less likely one of those keys will move you when casting.

I'm sure you know that what Anna said only applies to GMS-exclusive content.
Horntail and Pink Bean are KMS content.
Horntail recently got a death count. I believe that is the developers' only acknowledgement of its rng-dependent design, and they don't intend to revamp it any further in the foreseeable future.

Irrelevant. These bosses still need a redesign and it's still worth mentioning.

Could be bots as well, with over 100000 accounts banned just from botting/hacking last week alone (Source) its not so much of a wild guess to think some positive numbers in growth is just people hacking it since its an easy thing to do.

Possibly. But if you look at the timeline, the first time Steam breaks past 1k players since Aug 2012 is when reboot gets released.
After reboot comes out numbers are higher on average. Next December, numbers increase yet again. No only this, but the following month also breaks into 1k.
2017 finally sees a few more months break into 1k. December still remaining the most popular month.
2018 has July/June steal December's spot light while also giving April a chance to shine.
2019 gives us the black mage event which results in three months of player numbers over 1k.
People aren't quitting. More people are playing. Even if there is an increase in bots, they still represent players interested in the game.

As far as Steam is concerned, the game is only becoming more popular.
Now @Nexon, let's see those Nexon Launcher numbers...

where are now those who have an idea that the nexon company is now doing things well in the maplestory game, many are right ... maplestory is slowly losing essence, each time they are killing the game, to enter the game it takes time a lot in loading, the crash in the game with the lag and now they are slowly removing essential things that help those who have no money in the game, who is deciding these things in the company? the game programmer? the executive director? If you only think about money, this game will not have much time to go to the abyss for bad ideas, because staff this is a bad idea as well as some events that do not help at all but whether to spend money and in quantity or not

The overall direction of the content, story, character, etc feels good.
The way the company manages stuff outside of this, player interaction, player involvement, F2P vs P2W, does not.
If only some of that production value actually went towards keeping GMS happy.

If they aren't going to be removed, they need to have their contact damage cut by half or characters need a substantially longer invincibility period between taking damage without the need of potentials.

I think adding a grace period when logging in that you cannot take damage during would help.
Maybe add this grace period to runes/herbs/rocks as well, since sometimes (more so at lower levels) you can get screwed trying to grab these.
During any kind of quest box like that you should be invincible honestly. Maybe limit it for abuse as well, but seriously. It's not fun having that happen.
