I feel like the subscription thing could work. Depending on how it was priced out, it would allow more people access to the mvp benefits. Someone may be able to afford, say, a $50- or $60-per-month subscription fee, but not the hundreds of dollars per month the system currently requires. This also assumes, however, that current mvp maintainers would not alter their spending habits very much in light of a change such as this.

Ideally, what you'd get is people still continuing to hardcore whale for cubes and surprise mechanics boxes, alongside people paying a monthly fee for the same system.

I somehow doubt whales would change their spending habits. A few of them probably do just spend enough money to get MVP, some people are rich like that.
Most of them probably just spend it because they want to or have no self control.
But for those of us who don't have all that money, it would be nice to be able to reap the rewards of MVP.
I know I'd spend money on a sub to get gold/diamond if I had the money to throw.
It feels nice to support a game like that rather than just "Uh... I guess I'll buy 300 bucks worth of boxes this time."

Current MVP system is already subscription-based.
Except instead of your example of $10 to $50 a month based on tier, we're talking $10 to $900 per 3 months, where silver/gold/diamond are $300/$600/$900.
However, if you're not a huge spender, you can spend $10 and get a life-time bronze subscription.

True in a way, but the bar is set so high that most people won't want to strive for it.
Lowering the upper limit to somewhere around the cost of a new game allows for more people to just throw Nexon money without feeling like they're throwing money away.
I wouldn't add any exclusive content to MVP, but maybe give exclusive perks to those under MVP.
Such as increased guild cap, access to a global chat, those 10 extra channels they removed, etc.
Nothing that normal players can't do like special access to areas/items/classes.

I've gotten more of these than I care to count.
I literally just got one yesterday. Just logged back in and continued to do whatever.
If you live in fear then you'll just miss out. If you get banned, you at least got banned while playing the game.
Sure, not playing means you can't get false banned, but it also means you can't play the game either.

It should be important to note that an auto-DC isn't a ban. It most likely just flags a GM to monitor your account.
As long as you aren't actually hacking, you'll most likely be fine. False bans are a small minority.
They still do happen, but the chances of them happening to you are slim.
Enjoy the game while you can, MapleStory, as an MMO, won't be around forever. Neither will you.

A shame but its a testament of the inefficiency of security in the game, though don't let that get you.

The best thing to remember is that it will eventually get sorted out.
Hacking used to be just as bad in the pre-bb days, eventually nexon put a stop to it, or rather slowed it enough to stop affecting users every day.
Eventually the Kanna hackers/botters will fall out of style. The real question is, how many more nerfs will it take before Nexon fixes the actual issue?

I wonder if instead of making suggestions here why not post them on korean maple web/forum or something more direct to who actually does most of the job for the game cause this branch of the brand isn't really going to even read the suggestions and if they do is very unlikely anything will be implemented

Based on the way the memos go and other various things being addressed in patches, it's clear that Nexon does actually read the forums as well.
Given how slow the forums are, I would guess that Nexon reads every single thread (maybe even every post) in one manner or another.

However just because a vocal group expresses opinion on something doesn't mean that it's what everyone wants.
Nor do it mean that Nexon has to abide by it. There's a lot of stuff that goes on behind closed doors at any company.
We can only guess how much stuff is discarded due to various reasons.

I really want to get back to playing with all my old friends, but it's really not worth starting all over on a new server.

Not to sound rude but, what's worth more to you, your account that you haven't been playing, or your friends?
I think the answer is obvious.

I don't plan on starting all over when I have a fully funded account. I won't play the game if It's not with my friends. Not sure you know how much time and money goes into a bossing account., but it's enough to make it or break it for me to getting back in the game

For me personally it would be worth it. But I can understand not wanting to start over, more so if actual money was spent on the characters.
