Maple leaves were annoying and all people did after buying out the shop (or not participating in the event at all) was sell them for exorbitant prices.
Grinding and/or trading is a fundamental part of this game, I don't understand how playing the game while simultaneously participating in an event by farming drops is annoying. Buying items is a fundamental option in nonreboot servers, if you don't like the prices you were entirely capable of farming them yourself. I personally enjoy the mini games, but I cant 'grind' for long periods of time playing them because I simply don't enjoy them as much as training or bossing, and I don't think that's unreasonable considering I as a fan of maple (as i'm sure many agree) don't play maple for the mini games (despite the fact that i generally enjoy them to an extent).
and LOL to the rationale of "But the hackers exploited the maple leaves so getting rid of it made sense". By this logic, lets just get rid of everything in this game, because hackers exploit leveling, farming and nx cash too.
In terms of being able to buy out the store(atleast the enhancement tab) - I don't see how this is a bad thing if you're willing to put the time into grinding and farming. I've honestly played so much reverse recently I was too burned out to take advantage of the doubled 400 coin limit today.
Never did I say that grinding was not a part of the game. To be fair, I should have clarified that pet loot lag still hadn't been patched then and lagged the ever-living hell out of me. It may be fixed now but I don't see what the problem is in doing something different from other anniversaries. You can still hunt and grind event currency. After picking up the three skills you can get even more stardust by hunting. You're still doing the same thing but you don't have to loot every single leaf. I'd argue that's an advantage to every player who doesn't have a pet.
I made no remark about hacking/botting so I'm gonna assume you were replying to someone else.
Also did not say that buying out the shop was bad. Merely that there was no POINT to the leaves after buying out the shop. Selling is a part of the game, yes, but it doesn't add any significance to the event in general after the shop is empty.
My point is, having an event without the leaf drop is only an issue with some because of nostalgia, as with many other things that have been removed from the game.
Hunting with boosted EXP? - Subzero
Hunting and grinding for fast stardust (including booster skills for stardust drop)? - Normal hunting grounds within your level range
