Hows the state of the Maple economy?

So it's summer and I'm bored af, contemplating leveling up a new Mercedes. I don't want to spend more than maybe $200. What'll that get me in Windia or Scania? Will I even be able to take down any of the new bosses or do DPS on popular training maps?

I noticed that the meso rate is at like 1b:$8 or so and that's really really low o.o

[quote=marilanna]Yeah, in 2013. Do bosses have a lot more HP now to compensate too? :o[/quote]

Higher tier bosses have more HP, more defense and more difficult boss mechanics.

[quote=Axnslicer]Power creep. Every year MS average range almost triples. I'm guessing you quit like 2-3 years ago?[/quote]

[quote=marilanna]At the time when I quit, I had about 200%DEX and did maybe 300-500k lines with IR. What's changed? o.o[/quote]

[quote=Axnslicer]$200 will get you to lower-mid game. As a Mercedes, being lower-mid game means you do like no damage. 3-5 M lines on IR maybe. On a Zero that $200 would be barely enough to be decent. On a Mercedes it just isn't going to cut it.[/quote]

look at what u just said.. kinda sad actually if you think about it.. this is why i play beginners, no need to spend $1000s of dollars just to be decent in a free to play game.

Nx prices are 1:400mil on Scania. 5 years ago, nx prices were 1:6.

This...but i wouldn't trust nexon. They let dupers run around for months who destroyed the economy. Luckily nexon took the little common sense they have and are trying to clean up now...better than nothing i suppose ...

@Undexme
I'm jealous. Unfortunately, GAZED's suffering from it from what I see. While I'm happy about the farmers disappearing, the market's slowed like crazy.
It seems like the meso sink from Star forcing tyrant's has finally taken it's toll.

[quote=marilanna]I wish I would've known that so I could have made profit off of it XD

I haven't logged in since September, are the channels mostly empty still? Have more people left? :o[/quote]

Definitely less populated than it was in late 2014, but it could be school & exams, today's population during 2x event was quite lacking compared to the past. Not empty, but not close to before. Nonetheless you wouldn't really notice.
