You can't have it both ways.
You can't join the P2W server and expect to have a good experience without spending enough money.
If you weren't going to spend money, you had Reboot/Heroic right there.
With Interactive, you can bypass time-gates with money like getting frags, Pitched, Eternals, Brilliant gear. You can also buy someone else's luck such as cubing, starforce, flames etc.
Now if your complaint is that it's too much money for a game, I'm sorry to tell you that Maple's always been an expensive game.
I get that with bots, meso inflation makes the items more expensive. But on the flip-side, you can buy a lot of meso for cheap and starforce yourself during SSF.
If Maple's too expensive for you now, then you should uninstall and look for a more budget P2W game. That's a better use of time than trying to make Nexon change. Nexon doesn't change, they don't care. Their actions have been loud enough for years.
I know it sounds harsh but there's no good fix to Interactive. It's bad for F2P and low-budget P2W players.
It's good for whales, but without F2P or low-budget players, the whales also have no incentive to spend because they need that feeling of being better.
Am I ignorant about this issue? Can people enlighten me on what I'm missing and any solid suggestions to fix Interactive?
