The game was this in the old days too. Don't pretend it wasn't. Everyone was rushing for 200 or if not 200 they were trying to outgear their friends with scrolls.I think I like the game better before. The reason why I feel that way? The game rn is a flexing contest. WHo got the best gear, arcane force and guild. Its an ego trip and the battle for popularity, reputation, etc. I think the game before you appreciated people and the game content.
People partied and enjoyed the social aspect of the game. Rn, it's all about the money and stuff that just doesn't make it maple anymore. Maplestory was all about how your story was in-game, trials, challenges, friends, and your journey to 200. You had to really socialize to meet people and have a gang. It was overall a great game.
I'd suggest you don't mention that unless you want your threads locked and yourself banned.They should really create an old Maplestory server, and redevelop it slowly with effort, trying make masterpiece
