Never expected this day to come after they put the message about post-300 areas honestly.
It's a good change for sure. Since GMS is more used to easy EXP rates (I feel like Meso is mostly covered by SF reduction) we could probably use some more EXP coupons for awhile in events to help ween players off totem fumes.
That said, this too, will be forgotten and accepted by players because ultimately what Nexon is doing is good for the state of the game. It's just not good for the short term, which is why they've been spreading these changes out over a long series of patches over the last few years.
I personally use Anti-Micro, also while 3rd party stuff isn't supported, last I checked it isn't against ToS either. So long as you aren't using macros, you should be fine.
Get to 250+ and join a guild. Do it on multiple characters. I have so many characters bossing at CRA/Loman level that I don't have enough time to join parties or look for people to trade with. Maple is still extremely social, just not in the same way. What you're suggesting would only split the community even further apart and actually hurt the social aspect even more. Monster Park Extreme also brings back party grind for 260+ players, not exactly the solution we asked for but it somewhat works.
Remove gender entirely. It shouldn't be a political statement.
Rather than make it about these issues, just make it about quality of life.
You will never get it changed by presenting it as a political issue.
Korea does not care and they're the main overseers of this game. Go for the root issue which is inconvenience.
