Honestly the only fixes they need in Reboot is a few imbalances for the GMS content.

Sweet Water armors need to be much higher from solo trades and weapon drops in union trades should be class specific for the party.

Nebulite drop rates need to be higher and fusion ticket requirements need to be removed (they aren't even available in the CS lol)

And they REALLY need to pack the CS with a lot more equips. How am I supposed to show my support to this fantastic Reboot world if there's nothing decent to buy?

And POSSIBLY add meso sacks in the CS but put a weekly limit of like 1 on them so that they don't break all of the balance together. It would be awfully convenient for those of us who need mesos in a pinch, without ruining the balance.

I don't understand people who liked pre-big bang so much. Like why would you WANT to grind for hours to get from level 39-40 or something. Grinding in this game is tedious long and boring. :Y I'm 100% content getting to 100 or so in a few hours. I for one appreciate actual progress at a fair rate rather than smacking some mushrooms for a few hours to gain a level pre-50.

As for your suggestions, you have to remember.. EVERYTHING in reboot is cashcashcash. You can't just lower the amount of mesos you get lol.

You want to remove Potential. One of the key factors REQUIRED to be able to take down end-game bosses. Good potential skyrockets your range more than most good gear would. It's literally needed unless they serverely nerf end-game bosses. Which I kinda wish they would. Hellux and CRA are only possible to take down on high funded characters in the normal worlds.

I admit Sizzling was a pretty bad thing to put into Reboot lol.. almost an insta 150 for nothing.

make pq's good now and bossing harder, and remove set effects, so just the best scrolled item you have is the one you use, not all ra/gollux/sw

I wish they re-added the old PvP and the option to buy perm NX items for double the price. If that happenned I'm 100% coming back to play this game.

Maybe you should just go play a privately-owned server that's pre-BB if you're going to keep whining.

That would ruin my daily meso farming, so no thank you.

Step 1: Stop living in the past its time to let things go. If you really want to live in the past play some bootleg version of maple that never gets shut down for god knows why so you can "have the old maple experience". Honestly you mind as well just have said "roll back to pre big bang" since you're implying it so hard. If that isnt what you meant find another way to write it because that's how you're writing it as.

@powermage22 : That list is is all pointless.

1. Hackers/Botters - Why do you even care? Since this is all solo-based, that just means only that one guy is benefiting but OFC eventually he will be banned so all that meso he accumulated = nothing. And most likely it will be an account ban, not a character ban. In the end, the guy is just paying extra electricity bill just to end up being banned. I find this point to be useless.

2. Training too easy? Why does it even matter. I am fine the way this is. Mindless grind was plain in the past. The point right now is taking the challenges from bosses. You need to level to attempt it as there are no equips going around and no P2W crap in Reboot (although they attempted that Meso Bag bullcrap). Tell me how solo-ing CRA is and all those other things. If you really think this is easy show me you can do everything you can in the regular servers.
Also IMO, this is mainly back to the original system. Back then, people were weak as hell and they needed a whole party to tackle just one boss.Heck, even Zakum needed a 30 man party to kill. Right now, it is SOLO training but it is still almost 100% party-bossing. The best part was the socialization among these people when it came to bossing. All those funny moments when a team-mate die to something stupid or cause they were dumb, etc. That was what MS more fun. If you just played as a pure grind, then MS is obviously not the game for you...

3. @chaosh - About pets, it is unreasonable. Yes I would like them to add it in as well; however, you have to see it as a business perspective as well. Being able to buy pets with Reward Points means Nexon is losing profit. Right now with all the players I see, they all have a pet while only a few actually buy for looks. so even if 1/4 of the players buy pets now that is basically only (current players/4)* $5. And dont forget, the pets last for 3 months. that means in a year, assuming they constantly buy pet after the expire, they are losing a ton of profit. They might as well remove this world and just go back to the other worlds to make profit.
So ya... I can't blame them for not putting it in the Reward Shop. Although I kinda agree with putting it in the other worlds.
Also like to mention, you claim that obtaining meso is easy but do you have a pet? If you paid for a pet that is obviously the reason you are obtaining meso with ease. If you have no pets, it is almost impossible to accumulate money that money you are obtaining now with the same efficiency. And OFC this is a business tactic Nexon is using forcing everyone who wana try aiming for the top to buy a pet.

4. One thing I really want them change is make that quote they stated to be more true.
"All equips are Job Based" , I want this to apply to Hilla and Zakum (they drop too much junk and is not instanced to the players... it is shared. -_- And hopefully adjust if for everything GMS that KMS doesnt have such as Commerci.

So ya... @powermage22 , don't make it sound like you really know how to fix Reboot world. The only thing that disappeared with the release of Potentials were the interactions as people were more OP to solo things. However, with the content we have now, it is impossible to solo unless you have the end-tier stuff which is basically impossible to get until you tackle it multiple times with party members.
And if you really think you are training with ease, etc. take that challenge @helpingly gave you.
Screenshot the time you started you character and show us when you get to level 150.
And once that happens, show me you can defeat bosses without potentials. I can guarantee you you can't even beat Zakum within a 20 min time frame. And OFC play a class that is not known for it's bossing.

Considering how popular Reboot is, I don't fix people want those 'fixes'. And for those who don't like cubes and the star force, well, just play Reboot without them, no one is stopping you, but, anyways, here are my actual suggestions (in no specific order):

I. Ban hackers
II. Get KMS to change how Orbital Flame works or give Blaze Wizards a new skill so hackers can't abuse it anymore and people with high latency can actually play the class.
III. Fix non-KMS maps. Correct me if I'm wrong, but non-KMS mobs didn't have their HP properly updated, which, on top of the naturally ridiculous spawn rate and limit of maps like MP3, makes meso farming way too easy.
IV. Add Water of Life (monthly limit of 1) to the Reboot Reward Shop and a 7-day pet (can be revived with Water of Life, monthly limit of 1) to the Reward Shop of all servers.
V. Update Reboot's Cash Shop; seriously, I'm surprised Nexon screwed up the Cash Shop, aren't they supposed to be greedy and want us to spend money?
VI. Enable Beast Tamer creation... Actually, why isn't she always avaiable on all servers? I would like to know the official answer of why Zero isn't allowed at all in Reboot, as well; not very important I know.
VII. Enable Tot's Know How and the Puffram pet on Reboot.

That's everything I can think for now.

@powermage22: Did you get to 150 in a day with the santa event? If so, I suggest you try making another character that isn't burning and try to get it to that level in a day. Yes, at first it seems easy, especially with all the events and stuff, but the true challenge of Reboot comes from the fact that it is overcrowded and it is hard to find maps. Also, if people don't get free mesos, it'll be a lot harder for people to obtain cubes and stuff like that.

@powermage22: lol
you do realize the fact that you cant even trade in reboot is what would eventually make it turn into a solo-game right? also reboot gives higher exp rates than normal servers (and the fact they still have to give 2x events to the players) so you cant really complain about "this sht aint pre-bb,so ez, wtf is this?" yeah, go join a 1/1/1 ps or something.

@endurance and @verifiedx
The thing is that it's still super easy. I seriously see no difference from the regular servers besides that you can't scroll items. I seriously got to 150 in 1 day without trying at all.... The thing that made the old maple better was that it was more group oriented, even when grinding. The thing that killed MapleStory were cubes, once these things were introduced everyone was able to kill everything on their own.

all of you guys who really want "the old maple" forget the negatives. all you remember are the positives. imo the best patch was big bang, the XP was awesome, so were the buffs, but now everyone wishes it was mandatory to buy 2x coupons to level up?
