General

I enjoy passing people on ranks

honestly, the friends i've made keep me playing, i guess for me it's friends first then grind a bit while i chat, but i can't grind for more than 15 minutes without it getting incredibly repetitive and boring

if i were alone, i wouldn't be playing this pay-to-win game, having never spent a cent to fully enjoy the game (i earned nx through surveys, and that's about it)

I don't play, I like basilmarket though.

I like that answer. It kind of makes you think about that memories you had when you still enjoyed the game, ya know?

I've gone on and off playing this game for the last ~7 years.
Right now, I'm enjoying merchanting, so I rarely travel outside the FM. Maybe once I've accumulated enough funds, I'll buy some new equipment and enjoy playing the game the way it's supposed to be played (trying to level up and whatever).

@WhoIsDead: if your not even playing the game, why even bother coming to a forum that is ABOUT the game your not even playing.

@pikalachu: Why should I stay out of the forum? I sort of understand where you're coming from, but why should I stay out of this place?

I like to punish myself.

Nah, i haven't really played in a while. A friend recently relapsed though...I'm thinking about returning now (damn him).

Not really. I don't play for the social aspect anymore. I play to make money.

[quote=WhoIsDead]Different kinds of people I guess. I never found the game enjoyable.[/quote]

dosent mean you dont find the game not enjoyable that you have to question others if they find it enoyable.
everyone as their taste in game.
if youve stoped playing the game just stay out of the forum

because its all my computer can run

[quote=Alwaysbeat]@IanK: things like attendance/hot times encourage you to log on. So these people play the bare minimal to get these rewards in hopes they find something fun to do on maple eventually/Nexon releases something new.[/quote]

I get the whole logging in thing and doing stuff for the day, but can't someone just find a different game instead of waiting for something interesting to happen?

OP, its because of skinner's box

[quote=Alwaysbeat]the question clearly states: "why do you still play" not "why do they still enjoy it"[/quote]

I'm asking both, really. I don't understand why people play or enjoy it, it just seems super pointless and not challenging at all.

[quote=Alwaysbeat]the question clearly states: "why do you still play" not "why do they still enjoy it"[/quote]

Obviously but why would you choose to play a game you don't like

[quote=amin45678]Because I play it.[/quote]

Not trying to change your opinion or anything, but do you enjoy it still?

Because I still find it fun

Because I play it.

[quote=Alwaysbeat]because some people still enjoy it?[/quote]

This. Happiness doesn't *ALWAYS* mean money.

[quote=Alwaysbeat]because some people still enjoy it?[/quote]

Different kinds of people I guess. I never found the game enjoyable.

Do you not understand his question?
He is asking why people still enjoy it.
