man just getting the passes ain't enuff, you gotta be full on mvp black to even compete

or just not retarded and keyweighed with a bugged skill that every other erel and their mom was abusing overnight and somehow none got banned anyway

just let it die

>>575523787
well yeah botting + MVP black + all passes is pretty much unbeatable
doesn't change anything what i said, you still need full MVP black to even compete

>botting
all you needed was a something to stick into your keyboard and a temporary vac pet. sadly it was patched very recently

so many fucking MVP Reds on heroic cw, every second or third person in arteria has it

I just had a friend who quit completely after being banned from the maple discord but apparently the most aggravating thing to him was the existence of mvp black players in heroic. It's funny because his short stint in reg apparently made it even less likely for him to ever buy anything with nx in heroic.

now that they are giving out frags like candy in heroic during CW then it's only a gate of sol erda, which MVP Reds get 10 per week of I think blacks get 15 or 20?
This haste event is basically the glue holding it all together, the gap would've been so large without it. But MVP Red/black are already 285 and 180-210mil cp. They're getting 7 hours sauna a day to keep their MVP rank on top of the 48 monthly, which is like an extra 30 hrs wapping per week, on top of having to catch up to their sol erda gains in hexa while we gotta run dailies on multiple characters + 28 monster parks instead

f2p/botters are just approaching 280, casuals like 277, they all got shit for hexa without passes, maybe 1-2k, not libbing in CW without gene pass, not farmed enough due to no temp shine vac, it's borderline unplayable
pass buyers are around 280-283 now, decent hexa, decent gear, but maybe only like in the 80-120mil cp range, 3-5k hexa
mvp Red black 284-285+, 10k+ hexa ckalos ready in a month

ummm, that's a nice story and all but several streamers are already running ckalos desu

they're all mvp Red/black
Nexon has created a caste system with f2p, f2p+, and MVP Red/black now, you can't escape to next tier even with 20 hrs of wapping a day, the pay gap is that large now that so many guilds/friend groups are going to get priced out of the game

the only caste here is the 20+ hour keyweighers vs the virgin 2 hour single wap per day loser

the f2p are grinding 20 hrs to catch up to pass buyers and pass buyers are grinding 20 hours to catch up to MVP Red sauna hours+sol erda gains+2 hour virgin waps

gonna start looking into botting myself until stink fixes his shit game
>immediately get lie detector'd
lol fuck you game

Here’s how I’d improve interactive in simple steps:

Make starforcing cheaper. Reboot has 20x the meso? Make starforcing 4/5x cheaper. They’ve made rent cheaper so I don’t see why they couldn’t do the same with sf (even if it’s just half it’s an improvement). On a similar note, make mechaberry in meso shop cheaper too.

Make mp rp tickets unlimited, or give us a non mp/nx way to do more mp. This can be mitigated already by getting mp with meso but would be nicer if there was an easier way (also cheaper cause it’s still way too expensive at the current rate).

the whole purpose of the small mechaberry paywall is specifically to keep lesser funded players away from more endgame content so that they can't complain

no it's simple
you kill the reboot

rebooties are some of the easiest fuckers to bait into buying nx so sounds like a bad idea. imagine paying 1.5k+ every three months for what maybe 30 hours of jose training on 3x can do for $100 instead

Isn't jose only like 2 bucks an hour?
Anyway, at this point, he deserves it more than nexon.

Lol regs are buck broken saying interactive is done for and are asking to be equalized into reboot already

>>575584837
I'm surprised it took him this long to realize that early game in interactive is just as toxic as reboot's late to endgame. Realistically getting out of challenger world can at the very minimum get you a ctene/hseren soloer, but even after that you're pretty much at the mercy of pitched and future challenger worlds to fund your later bossing mules to actually be able to continue funding.

>reading is interrupted by a "make an account" notice
hah fuck off

>>575584837
Interactive niggas will point to literally anything but frenzy totem for fucking up their server.

>>575585625
honestly only veterans are making those, new players are stuck in hluwill and doing maybe party ctene at this point

>>575586498
challenger world has basically normalized ctene solos even if you have no hands as long as you're putting in even a moderate amount of effort into the sol erda grind. my last easy kaling duo partner last challenger world was mentally challenged and still solo'd all of ctene with the rentals

>>575586959
right but he has someone to play with and guide him I'm assuming and to get him to push towards those
a pass less f2p on reg is going to be clueless when with item burn and rentals

since they moved all the rewards to CW it's impossible to even start on reg now with the current economy, everything costs billions and even if you make a ctene mule on cw you can't do anything with 1bil per week, and since all the rewards are in CW you can't do anything to progress in main world besides wait for new CW

erm. kalos eternals are like 600m now each and canes are like 30m each

that's like 5 fail taps on 1 bil per week

you just wait for pitched like everyone else before you tap eternals from 12 to 15 duh. someone starting off still needs 8k legion and level 3 link skills

still can't do shit with that ctene meso

you don't need any funding to get 8k legion and level 3 link skills wut. i did it pre-curve with pensalir and cra

what do you do after though

>>575590035
enjoy the next challenger world!

so it's going to take 3 years of CW on reg just to match my 1 month eral on heroic cw

about 1 month for the first challenger world, and then another 2 months for maybe 2k legion, and then another 1 month for the next challenger world, and then another 2 months for 4k legion, and then another 1 month for the next challenger world, and then another 2 months for 6k legion, and then another 1 month for the next challenger world, and then the last 2 months for 8k legion. about 1 year to get where most late game players are along with 4 boss mules!

that looks like 2 years to get to early game lol while having to sell cubes and run daily bosses on like 5 accounts

Legit no one is going to be doing that shit. People are going to be like WTF all I can do is wait for next CW or make 10 accounts to sell 20 cubes a week. Can't interact with the auction house cus everything is either deflated or overpriced.

umm, the grind is part oft he game. if you don't want to set up mules for legion and legion champs then maybe play something else?

that would hold true if it was worth grinding off event, but as it stands you're only got 1 month every 6 months to get gains and then you gotta wait

it's worth setting up the lvl 210 mules you don't plan on bossing on ever during the downtime. some great examples would be mechanic, evan, battle mage, most of the cygnus knights, paladin, phantom, etc.

established players are killing the game currently since they can abuse anything made for new players to catch up for their own gains

im hardstuck on reg making 2k mp per month lol can't even tier up anything to legendary outside of the three weekly bright cubes in phantasm shop

>2k mp per month
At an exchange rate of about 1:300 that's about 700m per month which is pretty unfortunate. Maybe you should have tried used challenger world to make it 4k+2k mp per month

The confused faces are pretty nice. They would make for good commission references. If only the faces that terry revealed for sale were closer to the actual faces. Maybe it's just because there's no way to get a skin that matches.

>>575584837
>I moved to reg because I like frenzy rates
>everything costs too much we need more mesos for newbies
this is why reg can't be fixed, the players are retarded and don't know what they want
botters and frenzy ruined the very carefully regulated mp economy that korea tries to maintain and gMS is never going to care enough/have enough workforce to deal with the issue on either side
reboot, because it has no economy, is comparatively easy for them to manage

>>575595729
they don't let you double dip item burn or hyperburn on same account

>>575596882
the real reason is the fucked economy, you're just playing reboot without 5x meso since auction house is basically for 10+ year old accounts to fund whales their next 25* while you spend five years making ctene mules just to be free from selling cubes as your main income

>>575598323
you used both on interactive non-cw? that's one of the most cursed decisions i've heard so far

i turned on unanonify and it really is just one guy talking to himself
ive never seen anything like it but it doesnt make me wonder why no one comes here

>>575598634
and why do you think the economy is fucked?
they already have 3x as much meso from frenzy with botters injecting a whole lot more
reggers will claim it's a good thing while they pick up frags on the AH but it's the same reason their own farming efforts are worthless and they're beholden to frenzy cartels
it's the most basic rule of economics: printing currency raises prices

File: haku.png (62 KB, 276x300)

62 KB PNG

I came back after a two year break during the time that they were cracking down on botters in reg and it pushed the meso rate from 1:3~1:4 to more like 1:15~1:18 and it was particularly miserable to progress with the old SF system in place. The reality is that there are upsides and downsides to having expensive meso prices, but it will ultimately always benefit the people higher on the economic ladder. And why are there so many people commenting on interactive trading when only a handful of players here even play on it?

Do they even do ban waves anymore? Its not wonder shit is so fucked.

>>575598892
No I have item burn+hyper burn on heroic cw. I wanted to see if it's worth doing the reg for mp thing and it sucks ass. You can only hold your income on reg like a savings fund and it's not even that much. Can't even have fun gambling spending on cubes or tapping some shit you got 20 spares of.

>>575601002
https://forums.maplestory.nexon.net/discussion/35949/ban-data-from-07-16-2026-07-22-2026
yeah but it's a drop in the bucket, never hits them before they've dumped their loot into the market

>>575601314
Unsurprising that you net so little for now. Most people I know that do the mp strat tend to have at least a ctene boss mule in interactive and the rest of their boss mules in heroic since the startup is unironically easier in heroic anyway. They also occasionally drop in every couple months to sell like 100k+ worth of reward points service.

>>575600954
Player trading and auction house may as well not exist for anyone with an under 10 years reg account at this point. Even if you get to 350mil cp with eternals and canes you can't really do anything after. Making 35 bil per month on reg is just a few taps that are gone in like 2 minutes with the new SF system. Reg only exists at this point for the whales to flex their 2bil cp and nothing else.

File: mad.gif (10 KB, 83x61)

10 KB GIF

>>575602690
I think you're exaggerating. I make roughly 24b per month before selling any equip pieces or pitched, and closer to 35b with the occasional pitched factored in. That's more than enough to get about 7~12 booms worth of eternals with no safeguarding. The new SF features are heavily reboot favoring and there's basically no reason to ever use them. The new SF system, however, while blowing up more equips is infinitely cheaper than before to a degree where it's not even funny.

>>575601845
Starting out is pretty much impossible in this situation though without dropping like 200-300$ for some starting meso. I'm not going to skip a hyperburn to 280+ item burn just to make 6 bucks a week

>>575601443
Right. And I bet they dont even bother looking into where the funds go. There really is no downside to botting on reg is there?
Heroic i understand, since no trading, but thats what Jose is for.
Its a wonder why they waste the effort over foul players cause they'll just keep doing it, instead of yknow, fixing the game.

>>575603624
120b is overkill for ctene considering the cutoff for a one hour ctene session is like 70M CP. 2l unique is basically free with each hard cube costing about 5m.

>>575605458
at that point I may as well just buy a vac pet on heroic and get whatever kind of gains I need whenever i feel like instead of spending a year or two trying to get my invested $200 back at $6 a month running slow ass ctene.

>>575606405
Probably better off just using the next cw instead, because it's just way faster progression wise for both servers. I do agree starting off raw in interactive is not a good idea.

Reg is unironically less p2w than reboot now
New players should just start on reg
I'm not joking, this is from someone who played reboot for years, you can buy all the p2w slop on reg with mesos atleast.
Reboot you are just perma cucked while all the paypigs buy all the p2w and you're left in the dust falling further and further behind.

>just outgrind it bro
ok sure I can outgrind the casual that dont grind, but you put 2 grinders together, both farm 12 hours a day, 1 person buys all the p2w slop and sauna, the other buys nothing, the p2w guy is hitting 295 while the f2p guy isn't even 290 yet, by the time the f2p guy hits 295 the p2w guy is almost level 300.

Also most of the p2w slop is irrelevant in reg since exp and fragments aren't really a big deal there so you can skip most of the passes and be fine, vac pets in reg are also permanent so you actually save money there in the long run if you want to be a pure f2p since technically even the "f2p" players on reboot are still buying and paying a vac pet sub.

There is over $1,000 worth of p2w every major patch.

You ARE playing a p2w game now.

I'm not saying reg is good, I'm saying both servers are complete p2w slop dogshit now.

1 server however has permanent vac pets that dont need to be revived, and the option to convert meso in maple points to buy the pases you want, and x5 exp farming rates with frenzy.

I completely quit either way, but if I really had to recommend a server to a new players I'd say reg is the better choice now.
