Does anyone think this is unfair?
It lists the reason for certain-tier MVP users to get 5x on rewards is because they are 'dedicated players.'
Um, no. No. NO.
First of all, any long time player is a dedicated player, and to say they are not because they don't buy nx is unfair and it's wrong.
Second of all, I can open a new account, drop $500 on NX, and achieve a certain MVP tier in less than 5 minutes. Please explain, nexon, how THIS is person would be more dedicated a player than me?
Having money to blow does not make one more or less dedicated than another. If anything, you are only further proving that the only players of the game you value are the ones who give you money, and the rest of us can go to hell, essentially.
I guess the years I've spend playing, the time I dedicate to my guild, everything I do on maple doesn't matter. I'm not 'dedicated' because I don't give your hacker-infested game $300+ dollars a month?
Get rid of this 5x mvp reward thing. It's so unfair, so biased, and the wrong way to thank so-called 'dedicated' players who simply are people with nothing better than to blow their money on. You should care about ALL your players, not just the ones lining your pockets.
I don't know how to delete threads, but please stop posting on this. I posted it a while ago, it's not really relevant anymore.
I had a huge issue with hackers during 2x as well. I got pushed off my maps quite a few times, and some areas there was no finding an open map at all. Either a legit player was using it or it was brimming with hackers. Even maps people hate to grind on were being used because hackers took the good ones. I spotted SO many hackers leveling up today and it made my blood boil.
You're not allowed to benefit from hackers because you're expected, as a legitimate player, to play legitimately.
I do want to touch on this one thing, however.
How are players expected to play legitimately when hackers are taking over all the maps they need to use? Are we supposed to say "oh well lol" when all 20 channels of maps on gold beach are taken over by hackers?
It's discouraging when we're being told basically to 'give up' on the game because hackers exist and they are multiplying. They are in areas where people do quests. Gold Beach, to go with this example, is a questline that the game itself pushes users to do at level 45. They encourage the questline because it gives decent end rewards for the level range, but we're also expected to give up partway through because of hackers.
That's my biggest issue. If we play on a map that a hacker has taken over, we get punished because we're being told we're benefiting. Yet the number of areas that people grind in are diminishing because of hackers increasing in numbers. Sahel 2 is a very popular map for the 80-100 lvl range and it's often overflowing with hackers. It's a popular map because of the spawn rate and the fact that it's a one-level monster area. So we're unfairly forced out of the area to grind elsewhere because of hackers because WE have to fear being banned.
It's largely unfair and that's the point I'm trying to make. Legit players shouldn't be banned because hackers are taking the game over and making it impossible to get quests done.
Yes, Reina Strait exists but the wild boars area has always been a go-to area because of the spawn rate and the simple quests with easy experience. Not to mention that it's faster to train there than to do all the back and forth quests in RS. Hackers are making legit players suffer in numerous ways.
I had to change the map I was on numerous times during 2x because hackers repeatedly dropped in and just took over in a second. It's unfair. Legit players are seriously getting the short end of the stick. If it continues at this rate, Maplestory might as well shut down because there will be more hackers than players.
Then I think that normal players shouldn't be penalized for grinding on a map that a hacker is on. Plain and simple.
All of the wild board maps are covered in hackers, and it's pretty much the only lvl 50 area that there is, so where are people supposed to go? It's unfair that hackers can take over popular maps now without consequence, yet it's a bannable offense to use these maps at the same time because it's considered 'benefiting from hacks.'
Well what the hell are we supposed to do? Not grind? Quit the game? Never do quests that require the use of these areas?
Gold Beach is infested. Boars are infested. Sleepywood drakes are infested. But we can't use these maps because hackers are on them. Hackers that get away with hacking.
Change the rule to allow use of the same map for a normal player, or do something about hackers. At some point nexon has to step up and show some care for the legit players, because they're dropping like flies. If these keeps up, every single map will be infected by hackers and there will be literally NO PLACE for normal players to go. Is that what nexon wants?
I was gonna say 'the hackers' but someone beat me to it haha.
Also...being able to enjoy playing before nx made it pay to win
When people used to open the robo bags from Ludi in hene and everyone would die
