What exactly is the point of stars and arrows?
Just wondering why some classes use limited ammunition that you have to recharge. I get that it made the classes feel more realistic when the game first came out, but now it just feels like an extra hassle to deal with. It also seems like a flat-out disadvantage to other classes for unfunded players or for players in Reboot, where literally attacking mobs to train will slowly drain your cash.

It just gives us adventures character. Plus on NL you get to pick what star you want to use. If you're on reboot and have ciblis or furies you're that much cooler than the next NL
@mochapk: Archer classes do use arrows, one of your first job skills is just currently bugged so that it causes you to use no arrows when you use your skills. KMS patched it so that you will actually be using arrows when soul arrow isn't on, and GMS should be getting that in a few months
Really its just a problem of Don't fix what isn't broken. Recharging stars costs nothing, arrows cost nothing and drop like flies, money isn't a problem for these classes anymore. And the system works, its not broken, so Nexon just doesn't see the need to address it and give us infinite stars/arrows. Though if they did that then they would also have to redo a skill on a lot of classes as it would be pointless. Too much work for no reward
There are a few problems with arrows and stars in maplestory.
1: They are a down side to playing certain characters that use a lot of ammo.
2: Characters that don't use arrows or stars will end up with A LOT of useless item drops, aka Junk they have to sell regularly.
There are a few ways for Nexon to fix this.
1: Remove arrows and stars completely, meaning archer characters will have limitless arrows.
Bad idea IMO, since removing items can be problematic.
2: Limit the arrow & star drops to characters that use them, and possibly increase the drop rates for them.
Could work, meaning these archer characters will be self-sustainable without using the shops.
3: Create a new potential-thingie on bows, making them use up no arrows. (Like an infinity enchantment in minecraft)
Could work in the long run, but usually lack of projectiles is more of an early-game problem.
I just don't get why the Archer classes don't use arrows anymore, yet NLs and Corsair's do use up their ammo.
You should probably also use just normal attack instead of skills because you'll lose MP and have to use potions which is unfair for unfunded people in Reboot.
Go write nexon a letter.
