@Akradian. I definitely disagreee with people cheating to gain massive advantage. But this is not about giving a massive advantage to players. Because giving massive advantage will make this game boring.
But i have going through a lot of debate with people who are doing it. Even 2.5 years ago, i had a debate with a player who is a Doctor in real life and a Maplestory player. He decided to afk farming and so i asked him to stop. But at the end, he said, whatever, if i get banned then so be it. I know he is wrong. But here, i just tried to give a point of view of people who are doing it.
My suggestion is not a mode to reach end game within short of time. But if i use shadEight words, this is an "autopilot" that still give players a little bit of mesos so players can still improve little by little eventhough they have very little time to play. A lot of players quitting the game because they have very little time to play but actually still want to play. This "autopilot" will not give a lot more benefit/advantages compare to players who is actively playing, but at least to those player who are busy, they still know that they can improve through time.
If you are working for 9 hours a day, still have real life activities to do, you will know how little time we actually have to play. Except for people who doesn't work, unemployed, or have nothing to do instead playing games all day. But not everyone can do the same. Most people work or study. And i do know a lot of
Example, lets say players can ussually farm for around 600 millions mesos perhour, but this "autopilot" still can earn them around 100millions-200millions mesos perhour. But they still have to come back every 10-15 mins because the system will shutdown / stop every 10-15mins. They still can do daily life activities while semi-playing Maplestory. And probably the system can be made limited to the amount of hour perday.
People will always find an excuse to cheat.
If the system requires them to check in every 10 minutes, then they will figure out ways to circumvent that. If the system can get only 100m meso per hour, they will keep cheating because they "need at least 500m to progress".
If you can only play an hour a day, then you can progress at the rate of an hour a day. It's not impossible to play Maplestory as an IRL busy person, it's just slower. And as long as people feel that their "need" to progress faster justifies cheating, they will keep doing so.
People who are that busy IRL shouldn't be playing Reboot, anyway. Reboot was intended and promoted as the world where you spend time instead of money. If you don't have the time, why are you playing there?
In regular worlds, you can use the money you earn at your job to take shortcuts to progression. Alternatively, you can merch for meso - which is something that can be done semi-afk since your items are sitting in Auction House and getting sold even while you're not watching them.
