Why do poor Maplers hate the rich?

I mean the rich earned their share of wealth through time/effort. Why do poor Maplers hate the rich?

Not that someone hates him, but if you ask them for a little help they always do this:
Noobie: Hey, can you help me kill Mano for my HT preq?
Pro: lol noob f6 *goes away*
THAT'S WHY DELARAN WAS THE BIGGEST ARAN EVER, He liked to help and chill with people that liked him c:

Yap, this too. The poor hate not only mean [i]rich[/i] people, but anyone who's mean in general.
And like I said before, the rich hate the poor more than the poor hate the rich.

They ruin the fun aspect of the game, I mean seriously, take it in PvP where you get 1hko'ed by people with ~50% all stat and already do max every hit ouside of PvP.

@marilanna: I don't hate people who do that, I just don't respect it. there's a big difference.

But if you want more reasoning;

1. 9 times out of 10, you're buying from hackers. Fund those who are breaking the game even more. good game.
2. It defeats the purpose of playing the game. Improving your stats/range is part of the game.

But, it's your money. I could care less.

[quote=Oshawott]I don't know. But I don't consider myself poor.

I have zero respect for those who have either; a. Hacked/Duped their riches, or b. Bought items with real money. However those who have [b]legitimately worked for their stuff[/b] get respect.. Sadly it's hard to spot who fits into what category.[/quote]

I really don't see why people have to hate on those that buy their equips with real money - I'm bad at merching, and the amount I make working for minimum wage is far more efficient. Either way I'm still working for it, and I don't see how using real money makes it any less legitimate

Not even kidding, sometimes when the customers or my managers are driving me nuts, I think to myself "oh hey, next paycheck I can finally upgrade my noobtacular 4% belt." I don't get it - why do I have to spend my money on other games if I don't enjoy them as much? Or food if I like eating at home? Or clothes if I already have 8 pairs of jeans? I'm getting a hand-me-down car and tuition is being taken care of. I'm not spoiled and get [i]everything[/i] I want, it's that well... there's not very much I want after my basics are covered.
And it's not even as though all of it goes down the drain, good equips can fetch decent amounts on the black market, so I can have my cake and eat it too.

It's human nature to experience jealousy.

I mean, who wouldn't be jealous if let's say your best friend who was a very poor, working man wins the lottery and becomes a millionaire while you never will in your lifetime?

They're jealous that they can't be rich like them. To be rich in maple, you need to find your own way of merchanting to help yourself get funded. It takes time and effort to reach your goal of being rich.

[quote=WorkOfArt]I don't hate the rich, I just find that their time and effort has been placed into the wrong aspects. Only based on my own experience of course. I am not rich compared to most of the level 200 and/or speed leveling individuals. As a level 200, I have the range of an average level 160 player. My skills are not level 30 [as in I haven't used a lot of skillbooks]; I have maybe 15 to 20% main stat; most of my good equips are universal equips that I transfer between characters; all my rings were free for me (by participating in the event).

And yet, I can do absolutely everything that every other level 200 can do, except solo a certain boss and leech other people efficiently. So the question here goes: Is spending that amount of money, time, and effort, even if you're just botting or hacking, worth having the minimal option to be able to solo certain bosses and leech other people? I still get into boss runs, so having the bossing experience isn't anything new. The only thing I miss out on is bossing solo. Is that one aspect worth so much time, money, and effort? To me, no. To others, yes. Depends really. But my personal opinion, no.[/quote]

Bosses up until perhaps czak should be soloable with minimal funds. Anything higher would be kinda unrealistic without lots of merchanting or other inputs.(i.e hacking, nx, buying duped gear with real money)

imo though, if you're going to spend over 100$ on a game like maplestory, why not spend it on a balanced pay to play? would that not be more fun and better value.

No one says it's wrong. However when you go around in other threads with a stick up your butt and you feel that you are entitled just because you spend money on the game, that's what makes us hate people like you.

[quote=bli15]Even though people spend NX on this game, they have to use real money. They probably have a job therefore putting in time/effort to enjoy MS. Not everyone uses their parent's money to buy NX. Even hackers put in time setting up hacks or buying hacks with money. Just because they can hack doesn't mean you can't (not encouraging people to hack or anything). I mean, you don't need to hack/scam to make money, i've seen people merch and make billions. Also, you can't say a person is spoiled because their parents buy them NX. Your just jealous your parent's isn't as thoughtful enough to buy their sons/daughthers things they enjoy. I know parents that make over 6 figure salaries, and they have nothing else to do with their money but to spend it on their children. Who else would they spend their money on? someone elses kids? The only people you should really hate are snotty brats, other than that i don't understand why you would hate people that are more fortunate than you are.[/quote]

Wait so you are standing up for hackers?
okay well we know where the TS stands at least.
OT: doesn't the whole thing just seem despicable to you? I mean the fact that a "free to play" game requires payment to nexon's fat piehole to be enjoyable is just absolutely despicable to me. Why doesn't nexon just come out and grow some and say that their game is actually pay2play, because everyone knows that now it is. I don;t care if people spend money on this game, that is their decision, but come on. The fact that paying money makes you so far above people who don't pay money is one of the reasons that maplestory is so screwed up now, and one of the main reason alot of the veterans who remember the good old days of maplestory are quitting now or have quit recently (including me). It just isnt worth it anymore just to bring up a little damage statistic up by 10 points.

Jealousy, they think they deserve the money more. So immediately, when at least one rich person refuses to give them free money, they like blaming the rich people, and making them look bad.

People have worked their wallets off to get to the place they are now in game, rich, pro, or otherwise. Some people don't like the amount of effort taken to put in to get to those "rich" peoples' levels, and hope for an easy way to get a good range, 20b funding, overpowering equipments, and so on. But they can't, so in turn, are jealous. I've been there before, and I've gotten out of that slump.

And no, not all rich or high-leveled people are stuck up, high-class royals people make them out to be. I suggest people look at @WorkOfArt's [url=http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/2482253]thread[/url] before they call them out.
